The 98th Oscars came to an end today, the list of winners️
"Battle Again" starring Leonardo DiCaprio won six awards and can be said to be the biggest winner this year
(Respectively: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Casting)
But Leo is not the winner,
The winner was Michael B. Jordan, who played two roles in "The Sinner"
He also became the first black actor born in the 1980s to win an Oscar!
In addition to being happy for him to win the award, the first reaction of netizens was actually –
“Fortunately it’s not sweet tea”
His new film "Marty Supreme" scored 0 out of 9 nominations
It directly broke the tragedy record of last year's "The Unknown", which was rated 0 out of 8 times (Trivia: "The Unknown" also starred in him…),
Just force a smile like this
In fact, sweet tea has always been the favorite to win the Oscar this year.
This is the third time he has been nominated for an Oscar. This time he is somewhat aggressive.
Become the actor with the most earnings during the 2025 awards season
But in contrast, his reputation has hit rock bottom.
Tachibana has written about it before. In recent years, he has been surrounded by controversy.
Not long ago, he even made "wild remarks" in an interview, saying that no one cares about ballet and opera anymore.
It was so angry that officials from the world’s top opera houses and ballet theaters came out to attack
(Royal Opera and Ballet Theatre, Los Angeles Opera, Paris Opera, New York Metropolitan Opera…)
Directly causing his approval rating to plummet off a cliff
Even Oscar officials came out to "pour oil",
The host joked at the beginning that the security on site was very strict and there was no need to fear attacks from the opera and ballet circles.
Sweet Tea: Keep Smiling
There was a lot of fuss over the Best Actor award, but there was no suspense about the Best Actress award.
The winner of the Best Actress award was Irish actress Jessie Buckley, who starred in "Hamnet"
She is the first Irish-born Best Actress in Oscar history!
Why is there no suspense about her winning the Best Actress Award? Please see️

After six years, she became the tenth actress after Renée Zellweger to sweep the trend.

Sister is also far ahead with an absolute advantage

Just… I don’t know how to lose at all!
But having said that, in addition to the voices of the public and the media,
Buckley's performance in "Hamnet" is definitely worthy of a statuette.
This film adapted from the novel of the same name reveals the story behind "Hamlet" from the perspective of Shakespeare's wife.
One of the producers is Spielberg, the famous director who has directed "Schindler's List" and "Jurassic Park"
The director is Chloé Zhao, who has been dubbed the "Light of the Chinese" in recent years.
Although many reports still give her the title "Song Dandan's stepdaughter" when referring to her
But her achievements go far beyond that,
Received two Golden Globe Awards in six years for his films "Nowhere" and "Hamnet"
He is the second Chinese director after Ang Lee to win the Oscar for Best Director.
She is also the second female director in film history to be nominated for two Oscars for Best Director, after Jane Campion.
Isn’t it an exaggeration to say that the glory of Chinese directors is great?
In her new film "Hamnet", Buckley plays Shakespeare's wife Agnes.
One is closely related to him,
But women who left almost no trace in history
But Buckley's performance made Agnes "seen" with great clarity——
A woman who was dismissed as a "forest witch" by the villagers,
Possessing the purest wild vitality
The depression of longing to go back to the woods to give birth but being trapped indoors
She will show the sharpness of a mother animal to those who sentence her daughter to death.
The joy and lingering fear when discovering that my daughter is still alive
The disbelief upon discovering that her son Hamnet was dead
Heart-rending howl
A void like losing everything
Under her interpretation, Agnes is no longer flat and silent.
No longer an existence attached to the literary giant,
But a real, living life that is allowed to express pain.
Let’s break down Buckley’s acting experience since his debut.
You will find a hidden clue——
She always seems to be attracted to female characters who are suppressed, marginalized, and silenced.
In other words, it is because of her performance that these female characters truly have souls.
The single mother Rose-Lynn in "Wild Rose",
Because he was imprisoned, he was deemed to have “bad conduct” and was not worthy of a dream.
But while raising her children, she worked hard to pursue her musical dream.
In "Daughter of the Dark", she plays the heroine Leda in her youth.
young scholar trapped in family
The constant torn between motherhood and self
He was also nominated for his first Oscar for this role.
There is also Mariche in "Women's Talk" who was beaten by her husband and sexually assaulted by men in the village.
She is depressed, painful and sharp. She is a somewhat annoying "cold water" character.
Both against fighting men and against escaping
But it is actually a more secret kind of "loss of voice".
Resisting hope because of years of self-imprisonment.
Just like how she described Agnes as having a "fierce tenderness"
(cr. "Variety")
Gentle but fierce, soft but penetrating,
These are the female characters she plays.
Why did you choose to play them?
The answer to this question may be found in Buckley's own growth experience.
In 1989, she was born in Killarney, a small town in Ireland with a population of less than 20,000.
Great-grandmother Madge Clifford was once a core figure in the Irish Republican Party.
Tim's father is the manager of a local hotel
Buckley's education is very open-minded. When she mentioned Oscar,
Tim once said that he should stay calm about this
(cr. "Evoke")
Be her safety net and support her in times of setbacks
(cr. "Evoke")
Her mother, Marina, is a music psychotherapist.
Served as harpist and singer
Her mother had a great influence on her, not only teaching her to sing, but also
It also made her feel for the first time how to use the power of music to shock people.
At the age of 11, she entered a local girls' convent school.
But there, the most teaching she received was——
"Be careful", "Don't be too smart"
(cr. "British Vogue")
Therefore, she uses music as a way to release stress and fight against herself.
(cr. "British Vogue")
At the age of 17, she participated in the BBC reality show "I'd Do Anything"
The first stage is for the musical "Oliver!" in London's West End (tied with Broadway in New York, the United States, as the highest palace of commercial theater performances in the English-speaking world). 》A program looking for a new heroine,
But this experience was not pleasant for her.
She was sent to study "femininity" because of her posture problems
(cr. "British Vogue")
Said she was not "feminine"
(cr. "British Vogue")
This experience of being body shamed also early planted the fire of "resistance" in her heart.
(cr. "British Vogue")
She finished second and turned down an offer from Cameron Mackintosh to serve as an understudy.
(Cameron Mackintosh is one of the most influential musical theater producers in the world today and has produced famous musicals such as "Les Miserables", "Cats", and "Miss Saigon")
The trauma of "being stared at" has not faded over time.
Instead, it transformed into a deep awareness of how to “be truly seen”——
Shortly after the show ended, she entered the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art to study Shakespeare's plays.
In order to make ends meet, I have to go to school and work at the same time.
I was almost expelled from school
But with the encouragement of my tutor, I finally completed my studies.
Because "I don't want them to win"
After graduation, she has been working in the theater,
It wasn’t until he was 27 that he appeared on the screen for the first time.
But she never accepts commercial films that are more popular with the public.
Most of the actors he participated in were well-received and under-received literary films.
The roles that the public is more familiar with are her supporting roles in some TV series.
Marya in War and Peace
Lyudmila, the firefighter's wife in "Chernobyl"
And Oraetta from Fargo Season 4
The casting was uncompromising at all;
Off-screen she never tries to please, but she is extremely real.
When not acting, Buckley lives a life away from the spotlight.
Because I like music, I even formed a band.
He also released an album with Bernard Butler, the guitarist of the Suede Band.
Shortlisted for the Mercury Prize (one of the most influential music awards in the UK)
The contrast between singing and acting is quite big
Married life is also very low-key,
My husband, Freddie, is an outsider.
Working in mental health
(cr. "Elle")
The two knew each other on a blind date
(cr. "British Vogue")
Now the two "escaped" London,
Living in an old house in Norfolk
(cr. "Elle")
After filming "Hamnet", the two also welcomed their first daughter
She also said that becoming a mother also allowed her to enter the next chapter of her life.
(cr. "British Vogue")
Even though she was nominated for an Oscar and received global attention, she was still busy raising children.
(cr. "British Vogue")
It can be said to be low-key and happy.
Perhaps the most high-profile one was at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in January.
Not only is her husband’s rare appearance,
Thanks to the organizer for allowing him to come and "eat and drink"
Her husband belike:
Just… quite outspoken~
But Buckley seems to have always been brave enough to speak out?
When a reporter mentioned that the royal family was his "fan" and whether he wanted them to watch the new movie,
No careful flattery, no pretense of "honor"
He just said "I dare you",
This is such a perfect feeling!
However, sometimes you will get into trouble because of your "unbridled speech".
Not long ago, when I was a guest on my blog, I said that I didn’t like cats.
Say to your husband "Choose one between the cat and me"
This description is also very funny.
Therefore, many people said that she was "competing" with cats, and even criticized her for "hating cats".
But it seems there is a reason?
This is also quite frustrating.
But it can be regarded as a rare moment when she triggered a heated discussion on the Internet.
After all, when everyone is managing their personality and creating topics on social platforms,
But she has never even opened Instagram.
I almost didn’t get the drama because there was no traffic.
(cr. "British Vogue")
Often dubbed as "Hollywood amateur"
But there is one phenomenon that stands out in her career:
She is always seen, chosen, and promoted by female directors——
The new film "Dark Bride!" "The director of "Maggie Gyllenhaal" after working with her on "Daughter of the Dark",
The heroine who insisted that she play the role of this movie,
How persistent are you?
He was tough with the production company and said, "I won't film without her."
(cr. "British Vogue")
Zhao Ting, who has already won the Oscar for the heroine Frances McDormand for her film "Nowhere",
Spot her at a star-studded party
(cr. "British Vogue")
She is the only heroine in her mind
What attracts them is her authenticity and lack of vanity and unflattering.
This firm choice of “you have to do it” is never one-way.
But when you "see" me,
I "saw" you too
Therefore, compared with unilateral support and support,
This is more like two-way running and walking side by side after "seeing each other"
From London's West End to Hollywood, from the theater stage to the big screen,
She seems to have been trying to make herself truly "seen",
Also stay sober in the entertainment industry full of glitz and fame,
Walking very slowly and not vigorous enough,
It’s not enough to meet anyone’s expectations,
But perhaps being yourself is the greatest victory.

Congratulations to Queen Ba!
