The 2024 Oscar winners have been unveiled, marking the 96th edition of this prestigious event filled with historic moments. Hollywood’s most coveted accolade found its rightful owners after much anticipation, following victories at the Golden Globes, Critics’ Choice, Emmy, and BAFTA Awards. Once again, Jimmy Kimmel took the stage as the host for this year’s Oscars, marking his fourth time hosting the Academy Awards.
Oppenheimer Dominates with 13 Nominations
The nominees for the 96th Academy Awards were announced in January, with “Oppenheimer” securing a leading 13 nominations, making it the most anticipated contender. Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece faced tough competition from Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” with 11 nominations and Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” with 10.
Expected Wins and Few Surprises
The 2024 Oscars didn’t bring many surprises, as predicted names and films claimed their well-deserved victories. Hayao Miyazaki secured his second Oscar for Best Animated Film with “The Boy and the Heron.” Robert Downey Jr. won his first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in “Oppenheimer,” and Cillian Murphy added another accolade to his collection. Emma Stone took home the Best Actress award for her performance in “Poor Things.”
Godzilla Makes History in Visual Effects
Takashi Yamazaki’s “Godzilla Minus One” made history by becoming the first film in the 70-year Godzilla saga to win the Best Visual Effects category.
Oppenheimer Dominates Major Categories
As expected, “Oppenheimer” claimed the Best Film award, bringing Christopher Nolan’s latest creation to a total of seven Oscars for the night.
Notable Snubs and Highlights
Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” with 10 nominations left the night empty-handed, while Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” secured only one win out of its nine nominations.
