Oscars 2024 winners: Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy lead the way

This year’s Academy Awards ceremony extended beyond what most might deem reasonable in duration. However, the event was filled with enough unexpected moments to keep it highly engaging.

Jimmy Kimmel, as host, delivered sharp humour aimed at the nominees, but the night was truly about the celebration of cinematic achievements. Highlights included Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s early win for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for “The Holdovers” to the dominance of “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things” in multiple categories, the ceremony was anything but predictable.

Jonathan Glazer’s win for Best International Feature with “The Zone of Interest” was marked by a poignant speech linking his film to the Gaza conflict, while Robert Downey Jr.’s win for Best Supporting Actor in “Oppenheimer” was a surprise to many. The event also celebrated the visual effects team behind “Godzilla Minus One,” who accepted their award with miniature Godzilla figures in hand.

“As the night progressed, “Poor Things” emerged as a favorite, clinching awards for Makeup and Hairstyling, Production Design, and Best Actress—Emma Stone’s second Oscar, this time over Lily Gladstone from “Killers of the Flower Moon.” “Oppenheimer” dominated towards the end, winning in categories including Cinematography, Original Score, Best Actor, and Best Director.
