COLOMBO (News 1st); The curtains have finally closed on the Oscars, and that's a wrap on the 2024 awards season!
On Sunday, March 10, Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 96th Oscars live from the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.
Heading into the evening, Christopher Nolan's IMAX-sized biopic Oppenheimer was the year's most-nominated film, with 13 total nominations, followed by Yorgos Lanthimos' mad comedy Poor Things with 11 nominations and Martin Scorsese's historical crime drama Killers of the Flower Moon with 10.
Oscars in all 23 categories were handed out by an all-star slate of presenters, including the return of the "Fab Five" format which features five former winners presenting each of the acting categories.
Last year's winners — Michelle Yeoh, Brendan Fraser, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan — were joined by the likes of Nicolas Cage, Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron, Rita Moreno, Lupita Nyong'o, Mahershala Ali, and Christoph Waltz. Three of this year's four acting winners were first-time Oscar winners: Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Da'Vine Joy Randolph, while Emma Stone became a two-time Oscar winner.
