Christopher Nolan’s biographical epic ‘Oppenheimer’ emerged as the night’s biggest winner at the Oscars, taking home seven awards. These wins include Best Picture, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr., and Best Director for Nolan. The film also took home awards for editing, cinematography, and score.
In a surprising upset, Emma Stone won best actress for ‘Poor Things,’ beating out the presumed favorite, Lily Gladstone. ‘Poor Things’ also received awards for production design, hairstyling and makeup, and costume design.
Other notable winners include:
- Best Supporting Actress: Da’Vine Joy Randolph (‘The Holdovers’)
- Best Original Screenplay: Justine Triet and Arthur Harari (‘Anatomy of a Fall’)
- Best Adapted Screenplay: Cord Jefferson (‘American Fiction)
- Best International Feature: ‘The Zone of Interest’ (UK)
- Best Documentary Feature: ’20 Days in Mariupol’ (Ukraine)
The ceremony was briefly delayed by pro-Palestine protests and included moments of activism, such as celebrities wearing red pins in support of a ceasefire in Gaza. Host Jimmy Kimmel addressed the potential for strikes by below-the-line workers in his opening monologue.
