The Singers and Two People Exchanging Saliva both won the award for best live-action short film. In announcing the stunning development, presenter Kumail Nanjiani guided audiences on how the award would be handed out, saying he would announce one winner who would come on stage to accept it. Then he would name a second winner.
Prior to this year’s tie, the last occurrence was in 2013, when Zero Dark Thirty and Skyfall shared the award for best sound editing.
One win after another
One Battle After Another was triumphant at the 98th Annual Academy Awards. The Paul Thomas Anderson movie took home six Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.
“What a night. Let’s have a martini,” said Thomas Anderson as he accepted the award for Best Picture.
Sinners, which led with a record 16 nominations, took home four awards. Among them, Michael B. Jordan won in the Best Actor category. The movie also made history as Autumn Durald Arkapaw was the first woman to win the award for achievement in cinematography.
