won the Oscar for Best Original Song for their track,
'El Mal',
from the film 'Emilia Perez'.
The song in Audiard''s operatic drama is a three-minute tour de force for
Saldana as lawyer Rita Castro, a fantasy in which she dances around a room
filled with the rich and powerful, decrying the hypocrisy of those responsible
for the murders of thousands of Mexicans during the drug wars.
Kieran Culkin

Kieran Culkin surprised few
with their wins for Best Supporting Actress and Actor for Netflix''s 'Emilia
Perez' and Searchlight''s 'A Real Pain', respectively. They barreled through
awards season with one win after another, and these are the first Oscars for
both, reported Deadline.
British dramatist
Peter Straughan won the Oscar for Best
Adapted screenplay for his adaptation of Robert Harris's papal thriller
'Conclave' (Focus Features). It is also his first Oscar on his second nom, but
the script wasn't eligible for the WGA prize due to eligibility rules, as
reported by Deadline.
'Conclave' follows Cardinal Lawrence (Fiennes), tasked with
running the conclave process after the unexpected death of the beloved Pope.
Once the Catholic Church's most powerful leaders have gathered from around the
world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence finds himself at
the centre of a conspiracy. He discovers a secret that could shake the very
foundation of The Church.
The cast of 'Conclave' includes Sergio Castellitto, John Lithgow, Isabella
Rossellini and Ralph Fiennes among many others.

executive produced by show runner Raj Kapoor, Katy Mullan and Rob Pain. Producers

Hamilton serves as director.
Paul Tazewell made history by becoming the first man of colour to win the Oscar
for Best Costume Design. Tazewell, a previous nominee for "West Side Story,"
already has an Emmy award ("The Wiz Live") and Tony award ("Hamilton") under his
belt. He triumphed over fellow costume designers: Arianne Phillips ("A Complete

and David Crossman ("Gladiator II").
