2025s Oscars Recap
March 30, 2026
After much anticipation, the 2025 Oscars happened on March 15th. As pointed out in Conan O’Brien’s opening monologue, this year, the 98th year of the Academy Awards, 31 countries across six continents were represented, with thousands of people “speaking different languages, working hard to make something of beauty.”
After a long wait with much speculation, the winners for best picture and best directing were both Paul Thomas Anderson for his film One Battle After Another. The predictions for these categories were very divided between One Battle After Another and Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, as it seemed like a very tight race between the two, but ultimately, Anderson, who had never won an Oscar before this night, was rewarded in both of these categories with two out of the six that the film walked away with.
