At the 98th Oscars on Sunday, "One Battle After Another" won best picture, defeating "Sinners" despite the latter's record 16 nominations and victory at the Actor Awards two weeks prior. Director Paul Thomas Anderson's film prevailed partly because Anderson was overdue for recognition after 11 previous Oscar losses, and the Academy favored the dramedy/thriller over Sinners' vampire-centric genre.
