Oscars 2026: 'One Battle After Another' Wins Best Picture at 98th Academy Awards The 98th Academy Awards, hosted by comedian Conan O'Brien in Los Angeles, concluded with "One Battle After Another" claiming the best picture award. The film, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, also secured the best director honor for Anderson and best actress for Jessie Buckley in her role as the protagonist of "Hamnet." Autumn Durald Arkapaw made history as the first woman to win the best cinematography award, while Michael B. Jordan took home best actor for his performance in "Sinners." The ceremony saw a historic tie for best live action short film, with "The Singers" and "Two People Exchanging Saliva" sharing the accolade—a rare occurrence in the event's nearly century-long history. Cassandra Kulukundis became the first recipient of the best casting award, recognizing her work on "One Battle After Another," while "Avatar: Fire and Ash" earned the best visual effects prize. On the red carpet, best actress nominee Rose Byrne opted for a custom Chanel ensemble, while KPop group Demon Hunters made a fashion statement with their appearance. The ceremony also highlighted the global impact of documentary filmmaking, as Pavel Talankin’s "Mr Nobody Against Putin" won the documentary feature award. Talankin, a Russian teacher who fled his homeland in 2024 after resisting President Vladimir Putin’s war machine, documented his experiences under the regime’s propaganda pressures. His film reveals how he became a whistleblower, risking his life to expose the system. The Academy’s voting process, which determines Oscar winners, is governed by its 19 branches representing film crafts. Membership is typically sponsored, though winning an Oscar automatically qualifies candidates for membership.#conan_o_brien #jessie_buckley #oscars_2026 #paul_thomas_anderson #autumn_durald_arkapaw
Jessie Buckley Oscars 2026: A Kerry Girl Taking Hollywood By The Heart Tonight in Los Angeles, as Conan O’Brien announces the winner of Best Actress at the 2026 Academy Awards, the Irish will hold their breath in anticipation. From Dingle to Dublin, the nation’s hopes are pinned on one name: Jessie Buckley. With prediction markets giving her odds at 97.8%, the moment feels less like a competition and more like a historic coronation. For those who identify as Irish, it carries a deeply personal significance. Buckley, the eldest of five in a family often compared to an Irish Von Trapp, was raised in a home without television. Her father, Tim, writes poetry, while her mother, Marina Cassidy, is a trained classical harpist and soprano whose performances draw crowds in her hometown. Creativity was not nurtured in this family—it was simply part of their existence. Buckley’s great-grandmother, Madge Clifford, a prominent Irish republican, adds another layer to her heritage, linking her to a lineage of women who refused to be forgotten. In Killarney, Buckley’s image is everywhere. Street posts, shop windows, and local landmarks proudly display her likeness. To the Irish, she is not a woman who left Ireland behind but one who carries its spirit with her. Her connection to her roots is evident in her work and personal life. She often returns to Co. Kerry to climb mountains near her childhood home, finding solace and inspiration in the natural world. Buckley’s breakthrough role in Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet as Agnes, the wife of William Shakespeare, has captivated critics and audiences alike. Her portrayal of a woman deeply tied to her body, nature, and emotional truth has elevated the film into a universal story of grief and acceptance.#conan_o_brien #jessie_buckley #chloe_zhao #kerry #padraig_osullivan

Megyn Kelly Criticizes Michelle Obama for Focusing on Racial Grievances Michelle Obama’s reflections on her time as first lady sparked controversy after being shared on her podcast, IMO, with comedian Conan O’Brien. During the conversation, O’Brien recounted a visit to a U.S. military base in the Middle East years ago, noting that Obama’s team adhered strictly to rules to avoid special treatment. This prompted Obama to discuss the heightened scrutiny she and her husband, Barack Obama, faced as the first Black family in the White House. She argued that their behavior would not have been tolerated under the current administration, a remark many interpreted as a critique of President Donald Trump. Obama emphasized the pressure of breaking racial barriers, stating, “You don’t get here without being (…) near perfect.” She also highlighted the expectation of perfection during their eight years in office, suggesting that any misstep would have been magnified. However, Megyn Kelly, a Fox News host, took issue with the framing of the conversation. On her show, Kelly accused Obama of repeatedly centering her experiences through a lens of racial grievance rather than acknowledging the service members they visited during the trip. Kelly criticized Obama for what she called “whining,” arguing that the discussion shifted focus from the troops to Obama’s personal struggles. “She is so small-minded,” Kelly said, “This is the only lens through which she sees her experience as first lady.” She also expressed frustration with what she described as a recurring theme in Obama’s public remarks since leaving the White House. “I’ve had it,” Kelly declared. “I am done listening to her whine.#megyn_kelly #michelle_obama #conan_o_brien #barack_obama #glenn_greenwald
