The 98th Academy Awards are underway at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, USA, with Conan O'Brien hosting the ceremony for the second time. Amy Adams and Sean Penn have won Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor. 

And just like that, Hollywood's biggest night is over. The 98th Academy Awards started with a bang, with celebrities slaying with their looks. The ceremony started with the host Conan O'Brien's politically infused yet funny monologue that poked fun at Donald Trump and Timothée Chalamet's recent ballet and opera controversy. The night ended with another comedy highlight, O'Brien performing a climactic scene from One Battle After Another, the big winner of the night, taking home trophies in major categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson. Ryan Coogler's Sinners also emerged as a big winner, sweeping awards in major categories, with Michael B. Jordan winning Best Actor and Coogler taking home Best Original Screenplay. K-pop Demon Hunters made history when the film’s “Golden” became the first K-pop song to ever win an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
