Last night (March 15), stars and industry professionals descended upon the Dolby Theatre for the 98th Academy Awards. Let's take a look at some of the biggest wins from the evening as well as who was snubbed. 

But first, Conan's intro.

Win - Michael B. Jordan Won one Oscar for two roles 

Heading into the evening, all eyes were on Timothée Chalamet for the coveted Best Actor award for his role as Marty Mauser in Marty Supreme, but it ultimately went to Michael B. Jordan for his portrayal of BOTH Smoke and Stack in Sinners. When two characters are on screen, played by the same person, and you forget that fact, that is Oscar worthy in my honest opinion.

Snub - Timothée Chalamet / Marty Supreme 

Although it was a frontrunner, Marty Supreme did not take home any of its nine nominations, and lead Timothée Chalamet was left oscar-less after his third Best Actor nomination. It also didn't help that he went into the night with some bad press around his negative comments about opera and ballet, saying "no one cares" about those art forms anymore. Unfortunately for him, Conan O'Brien was the host and of course had to take advantage of the situation."Security is extremely tight tonight," said O'Brien. "I'm told there's concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities."

Win - Paul Thomas Anderson Finally Recognized

Paul Thomas Anderson has made a name for himself as one of 20th Century's great American filmmakers, and after nearly 30 years has finally taken home his first directing Oscar for One Battle After Another. Before last night, Anderson went 0 for 11 at the Oscars, never winning despite his lauded filmography. It's these surprising wins that makes watching the Oscars so special.

Snub - Diane Warren Sets Record for Most Nomination Losses

Diane Warren may not be a name you recognize, but you'll definitely recognize some of the music she's written ("Un-Break My Heart" anyone?). She's earned herself 17 Best Original Song nominations over the years, but unfortunately has never won, last night included. That has also earned her the record for the longest streak of being nominated and never winning. Then again, it was going to be a challenge going up against Kpop Demon Hunters. Luckily, she seems to be taking the news in stride.

Win - KPop Demon Hunters Takeover

No shocker here. Kpop Demon Hunters, the animated movie that took the world, and parents' Spotify playlists, by storm won two Oscars last night for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for "Golden". Director Maggie Kang was visibly emotional accepting the award, dedicating it to “Korea and Koreans everywhere.”

Snub - Remember Disney?

Disney is not the studio it once was. The Best Animated Feature was almost always a shoo-in for the Mouse House, but last night was their fourth consecutive loss in a row after Kpop Demon Hunters took home the Best Animated Feature Oscar. Of course, "loss" only depends on how you look at it. Disney still had three movies gross a billion dollars last year: Zootopia 2, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and the live-action Lilo & Stitch. 

Win - Amy Madigan Wins Best Actress in a Supporting Role

Forty years after her first nomination, Amy Madigan took home the Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her role as Aunt Gladys in Weapons, which is just an incredible story of perseverance. She joins only a handful of actors to have taken home an Oscar for their work in a horror film which leads us to our next win of the evening.

Win - The Entire Horror Genre

Once the forgotten step-child of movie genres, horror has stepped up in a big way at this year's Oscars. Sinners, a movie about Vampires, Weapons, an eerie supernatural mystery, and Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein all took home golden statues last night, signifiying that the genre has some prestige. Two of the night's biggest acting awards, Best Support Actress and Best Actor, went to horror movies which is just a mind-blowing fact considering how shunned the genre used to be.

Snub - Names Omitted from In Memoriam Segment

Hardly anyone's favorite part of the show each year, but a part that is still necessary is the In Memoriam segment. While this year was unfortunately filled with huge losses to the entertainment industry like Rob Reiner, Diane Keaton, and Robert Redford to name a few, some fans have noticed names absent during the tribute, most notably actors James Van Der Beek and Eric Dane were omitted. Although they were primarily known for their work on TV, fans felt they should have been at least acknowldged since they both appeared in some films throughout their careers. 

Snub - Big Tech Caught Some Strays

The advent of generative AI has lead to some strong debates about its use in the film industry. Look at the 2023 Writer's Strikes for example. Last night AI and big players in tech were at the receiving end of some digs. Right off the bat, Conan O'Brien made a joke that he would be “the last human host” of the Oscars, setting the stage for what was to come. He later on took a dig at Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, by saying “Why are they all together enjoying themselves? They should be home alone, where I can monetize it.” Will Arnett, Lego Batman himself, also took a moment to critique AI's place in Hollywood while presenting the Best Animated Feature award. "Tonight, we are celebrating people, not AI, because animation, it’s more than a prompt. It’s an art form and it needs to be protected. Am I right?”
