Just like that, the 2026 Oscars season has come to a close. The 98th Academy Awards aired on Sunday, and we have collected photos from some of our favorite moments from the ceremony below, featuring Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, the cast of Bridesmaids, and more.
The show featured several highlights, including full live performances of the Oscar-winning song “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters and “I Lied to You” from Sinners. Josh Groban also appeared at the top of the show to perform in a segment with host Conan O’Brien.
During the “In Memorium” portion, Barbra Streisand paid tribute to her late co-star Robert Redford with a moving speech and sang a snippet of “The Way We Were.” Rachel McAdams spoke about Diane Keaton, who was also a colleague and friend, as well as Catherine O’Hara. Billy Crystal honored director Rob Reiner, joined by many of Reiner’s other collaborators, including Mandy Patinkin, Meg Ryan, Carol Kane, and Kathy Bates.
Other highlights included a Bridesmaids reunion and Moulin Rouge! stars Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman as presenters of the Best Picture award, while also treating the audience to a couple of lines from their iconic Love Song medley.
Notable winners included Jessie Buckley, who won the Best Actress award for her emotional performance as Agnes Shakespeare in Hamnet, beating out fellow nominees Rose Byrne, Kate Hudson, Renate Reinsve and Emma Stone. Michael B. Jordan nabbed the Best Actor award for his celebrated dual performance as twin brothers in Sinners. KPop Demon Hunters, the hit Netflix musical, was honored in the categories of Best Animated Film and Best Original Song. Check out the full list of winners here.
