Oppenheimer Wins Seven, Ruling the Night
Oppenheimer, the nuclear war epic directed by Christopher Nolan, was the main winner of the evening, taking home seven major honors, including the much-coveted Best Picture trophy.
A Star-Studded Backstage Setting
The backstage area of LA’s famed Dolby Theatre transformed into a star-studded celebration, showcasing a who’s who of Hollywood luminaries as Oscar winners returned to deliver major honors.
Emma Stone’s Triumphant Emotions
Emma Stone was ecstatic to win the Best Actress award for her performance in Poor Things. The actress, who was with her best friend Jennifer Lawrence, handled a potential wardrobe malfunction while giving a moving speech in appreciation of her part in the imaginative movie.
A Second Oscar and Adorable Hugs
Oscar-winning actress Sally Field presented Emma with her second Oscar, and a sweet backstage embrace between the two gifted actors was captured on camera. Emma McCary, looking radiant and proud, also enjoyed a lovely moment with her husband.
Cillian Murphy’s victory as Best Actor
An Outstanding Presenter Line-Up
Nick Cage, Matthew McConaughey, Sir Ben Kingsley, Brendan Fraser, and other notable presenters joined Cillian Murphy, who won the Best Actor award for his role in Oppenheimer.
A Shining Triumph
Cillian Murphy was clearly thrilled to see Oppenheimer receive the night’s biggest prize, Best Picture. The actor delighted in the film’s success, which Christopher Nolan expertly directed.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Significant Accomplishment
Robert Downey Jr., a Marvel star best recognized for his iconic roles, held proudly his first Academy Award, which he received for supporting actor. The actor brought a bit of brotherhood to the glitzy occasion by posing for a lighthearted selfie with previous winners.
Slash’s Unexpected Arrival
During Ryan Gosling’s performance of I’m Just Ken, Guns N’ Roses star Slash made an unexpected cameo and cheerfully posed for pictures with Robert Downey Jr. and fellow Oscars favorite Bradley Cooper.
Barbie vs. Oppenheimer: Awards add up
Barbie, Oppenheimer’s adversary, won just one Oscar for Best Original Song, indicating Oppenheimer’s sustained supremacy. Christopher Nolan’s historical epic won the coveted Best Picture along with significant awards including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Original Score, Cinematography, and Achievement in Film Editing.
Showdown at the Barbenheimer Box Office
The much-discussed ‘Barbenheimer’ box office battle in the summer, in which Barbie defeated Oppenheimer, gave the prizes an additional degree of mystery. The eerily lovely song “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish and Finneas McConnell was Barbie’s only triumph.
The Treasured Moment of Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. thanked his “terrible childhood” in a cheerful victory speech after winning for his depiction of Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer. The seasoned actor’s victory despite fierce opposition was a noteworthy turning point in his remarkable five-decade career.
Oppenheimer’s Total Victory
Oppenheimer won Best Supporting Actor, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Original Score for Ludwig Göransson, Cinematography, and Achievement in Film Editing, in addition to Cillian Murphy’s Best Actor award. Al Pacino declared Oppenheimer the winner of Best Picture with a look of pure delight.
Box Office Rankings and Reception by Audience
Barbie became the highest-grossing film of the year, but Oppenheimer’s film was hailed as a classic of cinema by critics and did very well at the box office. The divergent box office results gave the post-Oscar conversations an intriguing new angle.
Emma Stone’s Emotional Acceptance and Resilience
Emma Stone triumphed over a strong field of competitors despite a wardrobe malfunction. She made a gracious acknowledgement of the error in her heartfelt acceptance speech, displaying humility and resilience.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s touching opening
Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s moving acceptance of the actress in a supporting role for The Holdovers marked the start of an emotional Oscar ceremony. The occasion had an emotional touch when the gifted actress overcame stiff competition.
The 2024 Oscars demonstrated the emotional depth of the whole Hollywood community, the tenacity of Emma Stone, and the genius of Oppenheimer in a year full of remarkable performances and scenes that will live in the annals of memory.
