In Hollywood, there's no night bigger than the Oscars.

And following this year's Academy Awards 2026 ceremony, a handful of famous faces finally know what it feels like to win the most prestigious award in acting.

Kicking off on Sunday, March 15, from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, the annual award show brought out some of the biggest box office stars for a night honoring the highest achievements in filmmaking over the past year—both in front of the camera and behind.

Weapons' Amy Madigan was an early winner, taking home the very first award of the night for Actress in a Supporting Role.

One of the closest races of the night was definitely Best Actor in a Leading Role. While Timothée Chalamet was a clear frontrunner at the start of the season after winning top honors for his role in Marty Supreme at both the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, Sinners' Michael B. Jordan proved he's very much still a contender after his surprising—yet well-deserved—win over Chalamet at The Actor Awards earlier this month.

So, which star came out on top?

Jordan ended up taking home the coveted prize, and his win received a standing ovation from the cheering audience.

“Thank you, everybody in this room and everybody at home, for supporting me over my career. I feel it,” Jordan said in his acceptance speech. “I know you guys want me to do well, and I want to do that because you guys bet on me, so thank you for keep betting on me. I'm gonna keep stepping up, and I'm gonna keep being the best version of myself I can be."

And while the evening was mostly about handing out trophies, it was also a night of hilarity, jokes and stunning musical performances.

Returning as host for his second consecutive year, Conan O’Brien kicked off the ceremony in true Conan fashion, leaving viewers in stitches with his hilarious opening monologue.

"I should warn you, tonight could get political," the former Conan host told viewers at the top of the show. "If that makes you uncomfortable, there’s an alternate Oscars being hosted by Kid Rock."

O'Brien even targeted Chalamet in the wake of his controversial comments disparaging opera and ballet.

"Security is extremely tight tonight," the comedian noted. "I’m told there’s a concern about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities. They’re just mad you left out jazz."

But the shade was all in good fun.

When cameras cut to Chalamet and girlfriend Kylie Jenner sitting in the audience, the couple smiled and laughed along with the rest of the famous faces in the audience.

But that wasn't the only must-see moment from the show.
