At the 2024 Oscars, Christopher Nolan‘s film Oppenheimer won a total of seven awards, making a significant impact. Unlike previous ceremonies, no film dominated the night, with only two films, Poor Things and The Zone of Interest, receiving multiple wins of four and two, respectively. Surprisingly, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, and Past Lives, which were nominated for Best Picture, did not win any awards. The ceremony was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel for the fourth time, creating a pleasant and celebratory atmosphere.
Oppenheimer has become the top-grossing Best Picture winner in the past 20 years, following in the footsteps of Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King which dominated the Oscars two decades ago.
During the most surprising moment of the night (even though the odds were evenly split beforehand), Emma Stone was announced as the winner of the Best Actress Oscar, beating out the favored Lily Gladstone in Killers of the Flower Moon. Stone, visibly emotional, appeared genuinely surprised by her win and took the opportunity to share the award with Gladstone from the stage.
Cillian Murphy was bestowed the accolade for Best Actor for his exceptional performance as the titular character in Oppenheimer. He graciously dedicated his win to “all those who strive for peace.” Shortly thereafter, director Nolan, with whom he has worked closely in the past, was also awarded Best Director.
The first award of the night was filled with intense emotions as Da’Vine Joy Randolph was crowned as the supporting actress for her powerful portrayal in the movie The Holdovers, solidifying her place in the awards season.
Robert Downey Jr., who had previously been nominated twice for Chaplin and Tropic Thunder, finally received his first Oscar for his role in Oppenheimer. The film also took home awards for Film Editing, Original Score, and Cinematography, marking the first wins for editor Jennifer Lame and director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema and the second win for composer Ludwig Goransson, who had previously won for Black Panther in 2018. This was all part of Randolph’s coronation as a supporting actor for the year 2023.
The only time Barbie received an Oscar was for the hit song “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, securing their second win in this category within three years following their 2021 victory with No Time to Die. This ballad and radio sensation was the sole reason for their Oscar success.
The short category award was given to War Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko in the realm of animation, while The Boy and the Heron by Hayao Miyazaki surprisingly beat Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to claim the prize for best animated feature.
The highly anticipated awards for Best Original and Best Adapted Screenplay were claimed by Anatomy of a Fall and American Fiction, which were both popular choices of the season.
At the Oscars, Poor Things won awards for Production Design, Costume Design, and Makeup/Hairstyling, all of which were fiercely contested categories during the event. Surprisingly, Godzilla Minus One beat out movies with much larger budgets to claim the Best Visual Effects prize. This marked the first time that the film’s director has won the award since 1968’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Oscar for International Feature Film was awarded to The Zone of Interest which included a passionate address by director Jonathan Glazer discussing the ongoing events in Gaza. Additionally, Zone was also recognized with the Best Sound award.
For his live-action short film The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Wes Anderson received his first Academy Award. However, he was noticeably not present at the ceremony.
20 Days in Mariupol was honored with the Best Documentary Feature award, and director Mstyslav Chernov proudly announced that it marks the first-ever Ukrainian Oscar victory. In his poignant acceptance speech, he expressed his regret at having to create the film, which focuses on the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine.
