Alexandre Singh, co-director and co-writer with Natalie Musteata, won the 98th Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film for their French-language drama Two People Exchanging Saliva. The 36-minute film shared the honour in a rare tie with The Singers by Sam A. Davis and Jack Piatt, marking only the seventh tie in Oscars history. The film depicts an absurd dystopia where intimate acts are taboo and punishable by death, with payments made via slaps to the face.
