Michael B. Jordan earned his first Best Actor Oscar for his performance in Sinners, which won a total of four awards.

As expected, the Best Actress award went to Jessie Buckley for her performance in the drama Hamnet.

Sean Penn won his third Oscar—and his first for Best Supporting Actor—for his performance in One Battle After Another. He previously won Best Actor for Mystic River in 2004 and for Milk in 2009.
