One Battle After Another brought six Oscars, including Best Picture, leading the night, while Michael B Jordan won Best Actor for his role(s) in Sinners and Jessie Buckley won Best Actress for her role in Hamnet.

Noted at this year’s Oscars was the first-ever Academy Award for a casting director, won by Cassandra Kulukundis who led the effort to bring together the cast of One Battle After Another.

And whether you were rooting for the winners or not, one fact was undeniable in the lists of nominees: the movies that made the cut were filled with commentary about the political climate in the US, wrote Luke Bitman in the student newspaper at the Moorestown Friends School in New Jersey.
