Oscar Sound and Music Winners Revealed

Hollywood, CA (March 16, 2025)—The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the winners of the 98th annual Oscars on Sunday, March 15, including in the three sound and music categories.

On the night, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another took home the most awards, picking up six Oscars.

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, the most-nominated film ever with a record 16 nominations, came away with four, including for Ludwig Goransson’s original score.

“Golden,” the smash hit from KPop Demon Hunters—the most watched Netflix film ever—also made history, as the first K-pop song to receive an Academy Award.

F1 has been a juggernaut in the sound category during this awards season, picking up BAFTA, Critics Choice, Cinema Audio Society and other awards (not to mention a Grammy for its soundtrack), so it was no surprise that it also scooped up an Oscar.
