Hello everybody! The first day of spring is rapidly approaching and so are the beautiful cherry blossoms. Please go outside and enjoy this wonderful time in Japan. Today, we are going to talk about a famous awards ceremony that just happened in America last weekend.
The Academy Awards are one of the biggest nights in movies. In 2026, the 98th Oscars were held in Hollywood to honor films from 2025. The event is run by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and winners receive a gold statue called an Oscar. Many people around the world watch to see which movies and actors win.
At the 2026 Oscars, the biggest winner was One Battle After Another. It won Best Picture, the top award of the night. The director, Paul Thomas Anderson, won Best Director. The award for Best Actor went to Michael B. Jordan for his role in Sinners. Best Actress was won by Jessie Buckley for her role in Hamnet. These winners were praised for their strong performances and storytelling.
There were also important nominees from around the world. The Japanese film Kokuho was nominated for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at the 2026 Oscars. However, it did not win. Even so, being nominated for an Academy Award is a big honor. It shows that the film’s makeup and design were among the best in the world.
