The film «One Battle After Another» received an Oscar in the category «Best Picture»

The darkly comic thriller «One Battle After Another» won the Best Picture Oscar, topping the list of six awards received Sunday night when Hollywood handed out its top film awards for unconventional subjects.

An unusual story of political resistance alternately triumphed over the vampire tale «Sinners», which led to a fierce battle at the Dolby Theater, writes xrust.

“Let's have a martini! This is simply amazing! » said director Paul Thomas Anderson on stage after his film One Battle was announced as the top prize winner.

In the film, Leonardo DiCaprio plays the role of a former revolutionary who becomes a marijuana-smoking single father of a teenager.

Until this year, Anderson had 11 Oscar nominations in his career, but not a single win, reminds Reuters. In addition to the Best Picture award, it won awards for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay on Sunday.

“I wrote this film for my children, to apologize for the mess we left in this world,” Anderson said as he accepted his screenplay award. “But also with the hope that they will be the generation that hopefully brings common sense and decency to us.”

Sean Penn — won, but did not show up for the ceremony

One Battle star Sean Penn, who played an obsessed military officer, was recognized as best supporting actor. It was the third Oscar for Penn, who often misses industry awards ceremonies and was not in attendance at the Dolby Theatre. «Sean Penn couldn't attend or didn't want to, so I'll accept the award on his behalf,» said presenter Kieran Culkin, who won best supporting actor last year.

The Sinners received 16 nominations at the ceremony, more than any other film in the nearly 100-year history of the Oscars. The film ended up winning four awards, including Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan, who played the dual role of twin brothers Smoke and Stack. Set in the segregated American South, the film is a celebration of the blues and African-American culture, told with supernatural elements.

“I stand here because of those who came before me,” Jordan said, listing the names of previous black Oscar winners, including Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington and Halle Berry. “I will continue to move forward and I will continue to be the best version of myself.”

Autumn Durald Arkapaw became the first woman and first black cinematographer to win a cinematography award for Sinners.

Irish actress Jessie Buckley won the award for best actress for William Shakespeare's wife, Agnes Hathaway, in the film Hamnet. The film tells how the couple cope with the death of their 11-year-old son “Hamnet”.

“I would like to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a mother’s heart,” Buckley said.

75-year-old Amy Madigan was recognized as best supporting actress for her role as the eccentric Aunt Gladys in the horror film “Gun.” She won her first Oscar 40 years after her first nomination.

“K-pop Demon Hunters” won the award for best animated feature film.

A global phenomenon, K-Pop Demon Hunters was named Best Animated Feature Film. His catchy song «Golden» won the award for best original song.

In the midst of the celebrations, the Oscar ceremony took on a serious tone. Those present paid tribute to the memory of directors Robert Redford and Rob Reiner.

When Harry Met Sally star Billy Crystal said Reiner's films, including A Few Good Men and This Is Spinal Tap, «will be remembered for a lifetime.» He was joined on stage by Demi Moore, Meg Ryan and other actors from Reiner's classic films.

Barbra Streisand, who co-starred with Redford in The Way We Were, called Redford a «brilliant, nuanced actor» and an «intellectual cowboy.» She concluded her speech by singing a few lines from the film's famous theme song.

Director Joachim Trier's «Sentimental Value» won the award for best foreign feature on Sunday, becoming the first Norwegian film to win in the category after six previous nominations.

Host Conan O'Brien kicked off the festivities by joking that he was honored to be the awards show's «last human host» at a time when Hollywood is worried about artificial intelligence taking away jobs.

The holiday festivities masked concerns in the film industry about where films are being made as studios seek tax breaks and cost savings elsewhere in the U.S. and abroad, loosening Hollywood's grip on production.

The film, which received 11 Oscar awards and became the main triumph of the evening, is in the process of being sold to Paramount Skydance. As a result of the deal, the number of major film distributors will be reduced. The media watchdog group Free Press distributed a traveling billboard around Hollywood over the weekend expressing its opposition to the merger.

Oscar winners are selected by approximately 10,000 actors, producers, directors and filmmakers who are members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
