The 98th Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, featured heightened security measures due to geopolitical tensions. The event included moments not televised, such as the "Frankenstein" production designer celebrating with his Oscar and a beer, and Pasha Talankin, the filmmaker of "Mr. Nobody Against Putin," re-reading the envelope announcing his documentary feature win. Security was visibly increased with layered perimeters, police presence, and metal detectors, impacting access to the Loews Hotel and the Dolby Theatre. A historic tie occurred in the Best Short Action Film category, causing a stir backstage. The setup involved concealing local shops to create a glamorous red carpet experience.
