Hollywood’s biggest night concluded Sunday with director Paul Thomas Anderson’s sweeping drama “One Battle After Another” emerging as the dominant film of the 98th Academy Awards, collecting six Oscars, including best picture and best director.

The ceremony, held Sunday at the Dolby Theatre and hosted for the second consecutive year by comedian Conan O’Brien, capped a competitive awards season with a slate of wins spread across major categories. But the evening ultimately belonged to Anderson’s film, which added trophies for supporting actor, adapted screenplay, film editing, and the newly introduced casting category.
