‘One Battle After Another’ wins Best Picture Oscar and 5 other awards

Paul Thomas Anderson’s political-rebel action drama “One Battle After Another” wins the Best Picture Oscar.

A few minor Jewish connections can be found in the film, which had 13 nominations going into the ceremony and ends up also winning best director, best film editing, best casting for Cassandra Kulukundis, best adapted screenplay, and best supporting actor for Sean Penn.

Radiohead band member Jonny Greenwood, who has faced backlash from fans over his collaborations with Israeli musicians, does not win for best score. Israeli-American actress and musician Alana Haim, a frequent Anderson collaborator, also has a small role, and one of the movie’s storylines involves a secret cabal of white supremacists who restrict membership to the “Gentile-born.”

Meanwhile, Jessie Buckley wins the best actress award for “Hamnet,” while Michael B. Jordan wins best actor for “Sinners.”
