LOS ANGELES – At the Governors Ball – the Oscars' official afterparty – it was one winner after another raising their newly engraved statuettes in glorious victory and celebrating Hollywood's biggest night with their loved ones.
Best actor and actress winners Michael B. Jordan and Jessie Buckley ascended the trophy engraving platform as the celebration was in full swing Sunday, March 15. Jordan, who smiled as he watched a woman affix a gold plaque etched with his "Sinners" win on his new hardware, beamed when he saw his sister, Jamila Jordan-Theus, join him on stage.
The actor rushed to her, the two sharing a 10-second embrace as flashes erupted around them. Jordan-Theus cackled as they rocked back and forth, and Jordan tucked her arm into his so they could witness his first Oscar win become cemented in Academy Awards history.
Buckley, who laughed in disbelief upon seeing the flock of admirers watching the winners get their flowers, shared a smooch with husband Freddie Sorensen after presenting her statuette to the Academy staffers. And "Golden" winner EJAE, after stopping for several minutes' worth of fan photos, joined cowriters Zhun, Yu Han Lee and Mark Sonnenblickas in capturing videos of the plaque being screwed on to their "KPop Demon Hunters" trophy.
"I'm just so proud of her," EJAE's fiancé, Sam Kim, said as he gazed up at her from below the stage.
