Kimmel. He kicked things off with a funny pre-taped bit, channeling Madigan's character,
getting chased by kids through scenes from Oscar-nominated movies like Marty Supreme and Sinners.

and more. Paul Thomas Anderson's one battle after another follows with 13 nods, including

Fans buzzed about frontrunners like Michael B. Jordan
in Best Actor for Senters, and Jesse Buckley in Best Actress for Hamnet.
