One Battle After Another took home best picture at the 98th Oscars on Sunday night.

It was a big night for director Paul Thomas Anderson, who also won best director and best adapted screenplay for the film. Cassandra Kulukundis, casting director of One Battle After Another, won the Academy’s first-ever award for achievement in casting.

But the wins were spread out: Sinners writer and director Ryan Coogler won his first Oscar for best original screenplay, and actor Michael B. Jordan won his first, best actor, for playing twins — Smoke and Stack — in the vampire movie. Jessie Buckley won best actress for her role as Agnes Shakespeare in Hamnet.

The ceremony even featured a tie between two live action short films: The Singers and Two People Exchanging Saliva. The last Oscar tie was in 2013, when Zero Dark Thirty and Skyfall tied in the sound editing category.

Occasionally those on stage gestured toward the world beyond Hollywood: “No to war and free Palestine,” Javier Bardem said on stage, presenting the award for best international feature film.

David Borenstein, co-director of winning feature documentary Mr. Nobody Against Putin, said in his acceptance speech, "Mr. Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country. And what we saw when working with this footage … it’s that you lose it through countless small, little acts of complicity. When we act complicit, when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities, when we don’t say anything, when oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it, we all face a moral choice."

Co-director Pavel “Pasha” Talankin, who shot footage for the documentary while working at a Russian school, said onstage, “In the name of our future, in the name of all of our children, stop all of these wars now.”
