Sunday91裸聊视频檚 Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles unfolded against the backdrop of and , and with a potentially momentous U.S. election on the horizon.

The most closely watched contest of the went to Emma Stone, who won best best actress for her performance as Bella Baxter in 91裸聊视频淧oor Things.91裸聊视频� In what was seen as the night91裸聊视频檚 most nail-biting category, Stone won over of 91裸聊视频淜illers of the Flower Moon.91裸聊视频� Gladstone would have become the first Native American to win an Academy Award.

Instead, Oscar voters couldn91裸聊视频檛 resist the full-bodied extremes of Stone91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淧oor Things91裸聊视频� performance. The win for Stone, her second best actress Oscar following her 2017 win for 91裸聊视频淟a La Land,91裸聊视频� confirmed the 35-year-old as arguably the preeminent big-screen actress of her generation. The list of women to win best actress two or more times is illustrious, including Katharine Hepburn, Frances McDormand, Ingrid Bergman and Bette Davis.

Downey, nominated twice before (for 91裸聊视频淐haplin91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淭ropic Thunder91裸聊视频�), also notched his first Oscar, crowning the illustrious second act of his up-and-down career.

But after an awards season that stayed largely inside a Hollywood bubble, geopolitics played a prominent role.

The war in Gaza was on the minds of many attendees, as was the war in Ukraine. A year after 91裸聊视频淣avalny91裸聊视频� won the same award, Mstyslav Chernov91裸聊视频檚 a harrowing chronicle of the early days of Russia91裸聊视频檚 invasion of Ukraine, won best documentary. The win, a first for The Associated Press and PBS91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频淔rontline,91裸聊视频� came as the war in Ukraine passed the two-year mark with no signs of abating.

Mstyslav Chernov, the Ukrainian filmmaker and AP journalist , spoke forcefully about Russia91裸聊视频檚 invasion.

In the early going, Yorgos Lanthimos91裸聊视频� Frankenstein-riff 91裸聊视频淧oor Things91裸聊视频� ran away with three prizes for including awards for production design, makeup and hairstyling and costume design.

Kimmel, hosting the ABC telecast for the fourth time, opened the awards with an monologue that emphasized Hollywood as 91裸聊视频渁 union town91裸聊视频� following 202391裸聊视频檚 , drew a standing ovation for bringing out teamsters and behind-the-scenes workers 91裸聊视频� who are now entering their own labor negotiations.

Though Randolph91裸聊视频檚 win was widely expected, an upset quickly followed. Hayao Miyazaki91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淭he Boy and the Heron91裸聊视频� , a surprise over the slightly favored 91裸聊视频淪pider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.91裸聊视频� Miyazaki, the 83-year-old Japanese anime master who came out of retirement to make 91裸聊视频淭he Boy and the Heron,91裸聊视频� didn91裸聊视频檛 attend the ceremony.

The Oscars belonged largely to theatrical-first films. Though it came into the awards with 19 nominations, Netflix was a bit player. Its lone win came for live action short: Wes Anderson91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淭he Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,91裸聊视频� based on the story by Roald Dahl.

Historically, having big movies in the mix for the Oscars91裸聊视频� top awards has been good for broadcast ratings. The Academy Awards91裸聊视频� largest audience ever came when James Cameron91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淭itanic91裸聊视频� swept the 1998 Oscars.
