The Oscar Awards red carpet illuminated a night of glamour as the ceremony crowned its winners and celebrated cinema’s brightest stars. The event drew global attention, with a champagne-hued carpet guiding a parade of luminaries from every corner of the film world. Among them stood Ana de Armas, a standout nominee for Best Actress for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. Despite the high anticipation, the statuette slipped away to another artist, leaving de Armas with a moment of reflection rather than a trophy in hand.
