Irish success on the night did not stop there, with Dubliner Richard Baneham also among the winners as Avatar: Fire and Ash took Best Visual Effects, marking another Oscar triumph for one of Ireland's most celebrated behind-the-scenes talents.
Elsewhere, One Battle After Another emerged as the big winner of the night, taking six awards in total, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson, with Sean Penn also winning Best Supporting Actor for the film.
