Although people watching the Oscars broadcast on Sunday night are often waiting for the Best Actor, Actress and Picture categories, there is a reason why host Conan O’Brien shouted out another group of people at the end of his opening monologue.
“The Oscars also shines a light on an incredible community of people you will never see – craftspeople, artisans, technicians, costumers… I can’t name them all, there’re too many,” O’Brien said on stage. “Hardworking men and women behind the camera who have devoted their lives to making film, and yes many people we celebrate tonight are not famous, they’re not wealthy, but they are devoted to a craft that can in moments bring us all a little closer together.”

While the artists nominated in these categories may be unfamiliar to audiences, it’s a rare occurrence that a film will win a major category like Best Picture without taking home at least one craft Oscar. Below is an analysis of this year’s Oscar winners in the craft categories.
Watch on DeadlineWicked won in two craft categories, Production Design and Costume Design, making first time Oscar winners of both production designer Nathan Crowley and costume designer Paul Tazewell. Tazewell also made history as the first Black man to win an Oscar in the Best Costume Design category.
Dune: Part Two also only won two Oscars in the craft categories, compared to Dune: Part One‘s six wins, though they managed to repeat their wins in the categories for Sound and Visual Effects. The Brutalist was the final winner of two craft categories on Sunday night, netting Oscars for both Cinematography and Original Score.
Emilia Péréz took an Oscar in the Original Song category, for “El Mal”, which was the film’s only below-the-line Oscar win of their seven nominations. With 13 nominations in total, almost tying the 14-nomination record, the film was set to be a major player in the Oscar race this year until unearthed posts made on X from lead actress Karla Sofia Gascón halted that momentum.
The Substance took home a single craft Oscar, in the Makeup and Hairstyling category, amidst the recent controversy surrounding the film’s head of the hair department Frédérique Arguello revealing she was excluded from the nomination.
The big winner of the night is Anora, which won the Oscar for Best Editing, as well as four other major categories including Best Picture, Best Director for Sean Baker and Best Actress for Mikey Madison. Best Picture winners are often the recipients of several Oscars in the craft categories as well, though Anora won the Oscar in every category it was nominated in except for Best Supporting Actor.
