The 97th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O'Brien, took place on Sunday night, honoring the best in cinema from the past year. The top film of the night was "Anora," which took home five Oscars, including best director for Sean Baker. The top acting prizes went to Adrien Brody, who won best actor for "The Brutalist," and Mikey Madison, who won best actress for "Anora." Winning in the supporting categories were "Emilia Pérez" star Zoe Saldaña and "A Real Pain" star Kieran Culkin.

Heading into the ceremony, "Emilia Pérez" led the field of nominees with 13 total Oscar nominations, but it ended the night with only two trophies. The ceremony honored the city of Los Angeles in the wake of the wildfires that left at least 29 dead and destroyed thousands of homes earlier this year. The Oscars ceremony aired live on ABC and streamed live on Hulu for the first time. The cast and filmmakers of "Anora" took the Oscars stage after winning the coveted award for best picture, with Alex Coco, Samantha Quan, and Sean Baker accepting the award on the film's behalf.

The best picture category was highly competitive, with other nominees including "The Brutalist," "A Complete Unknown," "Conclave," "Dune: Part Two," "Emilia Pérez," "I'm Still Here," "Nickel Boys," "The Substance," and "Wicked." The best director category was also highly contested, with nominees including Jacques Audiard for "Emilia Pérez," Sean Baker for "Anora," and Brady Corbet for "The Brutalist." The supporting actress category saw a win for Zoe Saldaña for her role in "Emilia Pérez," with other nominees including Ariana Grande for "Wicked," Felicity Jones for "The Brutalist," and Isabella Rossellini for "Conclave."

Other notable wins included Kieran Culkin for his role in "A Real Pain" in the supporting actor category, and Sean Baker for his original screenplay for "Anora." The ceremony also featured a performance of the original song "El Mal" from "Emilia Pérez," which won the award for original song. The full list of winners included:
