Only Katharine Hepburn, a four-time winner, has won best actress more times. The night’s first award went to Emerald Fennell, the writer-director of the provocative revenge thriller “Promising Young Woman,” for best screenplay. (It also won best score, making Jon Batiste the second Black composer win the award, which he shared with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.) “My Octopus Teacher,” a film that found a passionate following on Netflix, won best documentary. The biggest ticket-seller of the best picture nominees was “Promising Young Woman,” with $6.4 million in box office.
