Read the original article onPeople

It was a 3 hour and 40 minute whirl through cinema and celebration, with Michael B. Jordanwinning best actorfor "Sinners" andJessie Buckleywinning for "Hamnet," making her the first Irish performer to ever win in the category.

There was electricity whenAutumn Durald Arkapawbecame the first woman and Black person to win the cinematography award for "Sinners," asking all the women in the Dolby Theatre to stand up because moments like this don't happen without women "standing up for you and advocating for you."

Here were some other show highlights:

The battle is over for one filmmaker

Paul Thomas Anderson,one of the most respected filmmakers of his generation, finally won an Oscar. Then he won another. Then he won for best picture.

He first won best adapted screenplay for "One Battle After Another" and then was crowned best director. "You make a guy work hard for this," he said. Anderson was back onstage for the night's final award — best picture.

"Let's have a martini. This is amazing," he said.

Anderson had been nominated 14 times previously, including five times for screenplays and three times for best director. His films include "Boogie Nights," "There Will Be Blood" and "Magnolia."

"I wrote this movie for my kids, to say sorry for the housekeeping mess that we left in this world we're handing off to them," Anderson said onstage after winning for his screenplay. "But also with the encouragement that they will be the generation that hopefully brings us some common sense and decency."

Even Cassandra Kulukundis, who served as the casting director on past Anderson films, hoped he would win an award himself while accepting thefirst new completive Oscar categoryin over two decades for "One Battle After Another."

She beat him to a win by just minutes.

Another long wait for Oscar hardware

Amy Madigan,the night's first winner, had to wait a long time to celebrate an Oscar win. The gap between her first ever Oscar nomination and first win was 40 years — handing her the record wait for a best supporting actress.

Madigan's first Oscar nomination was for 1985's "Twice in a Lifetime," losing to Anjelica Huston. She won Sunday for playing an unrecognizable and utterly mesmerizing oddball aunt in"Weapons,"a supernatural thriller about missing children. Madigan had earlier picked up wins at the Critics Choice and Actor Awards.

Aunt Gladys' smeared, heavy makeup, strange hair and large glasses became a popular internet meme and was even played up by Oscars host Conan O'Brien in his opening skit, looking like Gladys as he raced through appearances in other nominated movies chased by children.

On hearing her name, Madigan collapsed into the arms of her husband, actor Ed Harris. Onstage, she thanked film writer-director Zach Cregger for giving her a part in "Weapons" she could "grab by the throat." She last thanked "my beloved Ed," adding: "None of this would mean anything if he wasn't by my side."

A heavy goodbye to the Reiners

A stage of stars bid farewell toRob Reiner,led by a long friend and colleague,Billy Crystal.

Crystal kicked off the in memoriam section by saying he met Reiner while cast as a best friend of Reiner's on "All in the Family" in 1975.

Reiner's movies included "This Is Spinal Tap," "Stand By Me," "When Harry Met Sally...," "Misery," "A Few Good Men" and "The Princess Bride."

"My friend Rob's movies will last for lifetimes because they were about what makes us laugh and cry and what we aspire to be: Far better in his eyes, far kinder, far funnier and far more human," Crystal said.

Reiner was killed along with his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, in December. Their son, Nick Reiner, has beencharged with two counts of murder.

After Crystal's speech, he revealed a stage filled with stars who shone in Reiner's films, including Meg Ryan, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Kathy Bates, Kiefer Sutherland, Demi Moore, Jerry O'Connell, Annette Bening, Mandy Patinkin, Fred Savage and Cary Elwes.

In memoriam and Redford

The in memoriam section then highlighted those lost during 2025, likeCatherine O'Hara,Diane Keaton,Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, Brigitte Bardot, Michael Madsen, Terence Stamp, Diane Ladd, Sally Kirkland, Tom Stoppard, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Val Kilmer.

Barbra Streisand then stepped up to honor her co-star in "The Way We Were,"Robert Redford.

"He was thoughtful and bold. I called him an intellectual cowboy who blazed his own trail, and won the Academy Award for best director, and I miss him now more than ever, even though he loved teasing me," Streisand said.

She then sang a snippet of "The Way We Were," which she last performed during the 2013 ceremony, when she sang it as an homage to the late composer Marvin Hamlisch.

Two stunning song performances

The Oscars had only two musical numbers but they were Grammy-worthy.

Singer-actor Miles Caton and songwriterRaphael Saadiqperformed the deeply bluesy, slinky song "I Lied to You" from "Sinners," joined by an ensemble that includedMisty Copeland,Eric Gales, Buddy Guy, Brittany Howard, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, Bobby Rush, Shaboozey and Alice Smith in a tribute to the film's visual and musical style.

The camera swept in and among the writhing bodies in a rollicking, kinetic performance.

"KPop Demon Hunters" later celebrated its win as best animated feature by opening its performance of "Golden" with a fusion of traditional Korean instrumentalists and dance, with dancers in gold waving golden fabric flags. Then Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami — the singing voices behind HUNTR/X in the film — belted out "Golden" as members of the audience waved light sticks.

Then "Golden" won the Oscar for best original song, a first for K-pop.

The coolest part was seeing dancers from each song appear in the other's, a kind of communication between Delta blues and Asian pop.

'Bridesmaids' give us a bouquet

Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph,Rose Byrne, Kristen Wiig and Ellie Kemper celebrated 15 years after "Bridesmaids" hit theaters by showing everyone their funny bones haven't aged.

"Now, we are not good with numbers, but we figured out backstage that means we shot this movie in 1883," Wiig joked.

The group — presenting best original score and best sound — had fun at the expense of Stellan Skarsgård, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jacobi Jupe of "Hamnet."

They pretended to read messages from the crowd, including one from DiCaprio that accused Byrne of staring at him. "I have been staring at you," Byrne replied. "I thought you were somebody else."

Rudolph leaned into her dimwit persona when she wondered: "Earlier today, when I was counting my money, I asked myself, "What is sound?"

There was also a mini-"Avengers" reunion with Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. presenting best adapted screenplay. And a "Moulin Rouge!" reunion with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. And there was a Pullman family reunion when Bill teamed up with son, Jack.

Second time's a charm, Conan

Conan O'Brien hit almost every note on Sunday — savage, playful, heartfelt and dumb.

The second-time host predicted he'd be the last human Oscar MC. "Next year, it will be a Waymo with a tux," he joked.

He also had a jab at Timothée Chalamet, who got into hot water when he seemed to call ballet and opera dying art forms. "They're just mad you left out jazz," O'Brien quipped.

He reached for a Jeffrey Epstein joke when he noted that it was the first time since 2012 that there were no British actors nominated. "A British spokesperson said,'Yeah, well at least we arrest our pedophiles.'"

But he also got poetic and sweet when he noted that 31 countries across six continents were represented at the Oscars.

"Every film we salute is a product of thousands of people speaking different language, working hard to make something of beauty," O'Brien said. "We pay tribute tonight, not just to film, but to the ideals of global artistry, collaboration, patience, resilience and that rarest of qualities today: optimism."

Of course, sometimes his bits fell flat, like the time he used a leaf blower onstage and a gag about memes with Leonardo DiCaprio.

US 'pro-family' group worked with Senegal activists pushing anti-LGBT law

The U.S. group MassResistance, known for its work at home pushing legislation against same-sex marriage and denouncing "the transgender war on cultural norms", ‌has advised like-minded African activists for years.

But now it is trying to take advantage of what it sees as a more restrictive approach by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration ‌towards the rights of same-sex couples. Beyond Senegal, it has been involved in recent advocacy supporting a proposed new anti-LGBT law in Ghana.

"There's a renewed push to put in place these strict bans on the promotion and proliferation of LGBT ​ideology now because President Trump is not in the business of harassing and bullying countries to incorporate these destructive ideologies," the group's field director, Arthur Schaper, told Reuters.

The collaboration between MassResistance, headquartered in Massachusetts, and And Samm Jikko Yi, a Senegalese network of Islamic and civil society organizations, has not previously been reported.

'PRO-FAMILY' MOVEMENT GAINS MOMENTUM

Senegalese lawmakers last week approved the new law, which doubles the maximum prison term for same-sex sexual acts to 10 years and criminalizes so-called promotion of homosexuality.

Reuters could not determine the impact of MassResistance's work in Senegal on the vote.

But this is the first known case of a U.S. group ‌helping shape a successful push for anti-LGBT legislation in Africa since Trump ⁠returned to power in January 2025.

"The transnational pro-family movement has reached new heights in terms of their level of influence now that Trump is in office," said Haley McEwen, author of the 2024 book "The U.S. Christian Right and Pro-Family Politics in 21st Century Africa".

The State Department said Trump's approach to foreign ⁠assistance ensures taxpayer dollars are not "wasted on divisive social and gender issues", a departure from the Biden and Obama administrations which made LGBT rights part of foreign policy.

NEW GOVERNMENT CREATED OPENING FOR LAW

And Samm Jikko Yi began campaigning across Senegal for tougher anti-LGBT legislation in 2020, arguing that the existing provision in the penal code was too weak, said Ababacar Mboup, the network's former coordinator and honorary president.

The old version imposed prison sentences ​of ​up to five years for "acts against nature".

President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko promised on the campaign ​trail in 2024 to deliver a new law.

In December 2024, And Samm Jikko ‌Yi contacted MassResistance to discuss an attempt to change the law as well as the possible creation of a MassResistance chapter in Senegal, Mboup and Schaper said.

They discussed tactics for awareness-raising, mobilization and advocacy with Senegalese authorities, Mboup added.

MassResistance says it is focused on pushing "pro-family laws and policies" that ensure LGBT rights are not celebrated or normalized.

"The high rates of disease, dysfunction, and death associated with these sexual paraphilias are too great to ignore," Schaper said.

MassResistance has also been in touch with activists in Ghana, where lawmakers are considering a harsher anti-LGBT bill.

As in Senegal, same-sex sexual acts are already criminalized there, but the new legislation would increase the maximum penalty from three to five years and impose jail time for the "wilful promotion, sponsorship, or support of LGBTQ+ activities".

Frank Mackay Anim-Appiah, executive director ‌of the Ghanaian human rights NGO Freedom International, said he and Schaper had exchanged "educational materials" and broadly discussed the ​need to curtail LGBT rights.

Anim-Appiah has toured schools across Ghana to speak against the "infiltration" of the LGBT movement, and ​said Schaper had tried - so far unsuccessfully - to secure financing for him from "funders" he declined ​to name.

"I see Arthur as a colleague... We are all fighting a common battle," Anim-Appiah told Reuters.

CONCERNS OVER FIGHT AGAINST HIV

Health workers in Senegal say the ‌new law is likely to harm the fight against HIV/AIDS among key populations, ​notably men who have sex with men (MSM).

Fear of ​arrest drives people underground, and by criminalizing "promotion", efforts to address HIV/AIDS among LGBT people could be jeopardised, they say.

That fight already suffered a blow last year when the Trump administration cut foreign assistance.

National HIV prevalence is 0.3% in Senegal but is much higher among MSM - hitting 49% in parts of Dakar, government figures show.

Between February 9 and 24, 27 suspected ​MSM were arrested on suspicion of "acts against nature" and, in some cases, "voluntary ‌transmission" of HIV, the International Federation for Human Rights said.

A spokesperson for Senegal's government and a spokesperson for Senegal's gendarmerie did not respond to requests for comment on ​the increased arrests.

They have forced MSM into hiding, and some have fled to other countries including Mauritania, Gambia and Ivory Coast, said two Senegalese MSM who spoke ​on condition of anonymity for safety reasons.
