Anora was this year's big winner at the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday, taking home five awards.

The film won Best Picture, Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay, with Sean Baker winning Best Director and Mikey Madison taking Best Actress. Baker, who wrote, directed and produced the film, is the first person to win four Oscars for a single film.

"This film was made on the blood sweat and tears of incredible indie artists," Baker said in his Best Picture acceptance speech. "Long live independent film."

Cillian Murphy presented Adrien Brody with the award for Best Actor for his role in The Brutalist. The film also won Best Original Score and Best Cinematography.

Emilia Pérez had the most nominations, with a total of 13, but came away with just two wins - one for Zoe Saldaña for Best Supporting Actress, and one for 'El Mal' as Best Original Song.

Nick Emerson, the Lisburn-born editor for Conclave, missed out on the award for Best Editing to Anora. Conclave won Best Adapted Screenplay for writer Peter Straughan, who based the screenplay on Peter Harris' book of the same name.

Kieran Culkin won Best Supporting Actor for his role in comedy-drama A Real Pain.

No Other Land, a Palestinian-Israeli documentary about the West Bank, won Best Documentary Feature Film.

“Israeli hostages brutally taken in the crime of October 7 which must be freed," co-director of No Other Land Yuval Abraham. "When I look at Basel I see my brother but we are unequal. We live in a regime where I am free under civilian law but Basel has to live under military laws that destroy his life and he cannot control.

“There is a different path," he continued. "A political solution. Without ethnic supremacy, with national rights for both of our people. And I have to say, as I am here, the foreign policy in this country [the US] is helping to block this path.

“Why? Can’t you see that we are intertwined? That my people can be truly safe if Basel’s people are truly free and safe. There is another way. It’s not too late for life, for the living. There is no other way.”

A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet, did not win any of its eight nominations.

Morgan Freeman, who hosted the In Memoriam segment, paid tribute to the late Gene Hackman, who was found dead in his home last week, alongside his wife Betsy Arakawa. Freeman said Hackman was a "generous performer", and "won the hearts of film lovers around the world."
