In a very big night for the film, One Battle After Another was named best picture at last night's 98th Academy Awards in LA – with director Paul Thomas Anderson's film beating the likes of Sinners and Hamnet to become the latest winner of Hollywood's most coveted honour.

The film took home an additional five awards, including best director for Anderson, best music, best casting, and best adapted screenplay.

An absent Sean Penn also took home the award for best supporting actor, beating the likes of Frankenstein's Jacob Elordi and Sentimental Value's Stellan Skarsgard, for his performance in One Battle After Another.

Meanwhile, Michael B Jordan took home a much-contested best actor award for his work as identical twins in the night's most-nominated film, Sinners, while the film also won best original screenplay, best music, and best cinematography.

Awards season constant Jessie Buckley did indeed win best actress for her turn in Hamnet, while Amy Madigan won her first Oscar for her turn as Gladys in the horror film Weapons.

Elsewhere, there were also wins for the likes of K-Pop Demon Hunters for best animated feature, Sentimental Value for best international film, and Mr Nobody Against Putin for best documentary feature.
