The Dolby Theater at Hollywood & Highland was the place where the 96th Academy Awards winners were unveiled. This year, the ceremony began earlier than usual and was broadcasted by ABC to more than two hundred countries around the world. Jimmy Kimmel returned for his fourth time as host of the show.

“Oppenheimer,” received the Best Picture award. The Film bagged a total of seven awards. Christopher Nolan was awarded as the Best Director, and Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. respectively, emerged victorious as the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for their roles in this movie. Moreover, “Oppenheimer” also brought laurels for Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, and Best Film Editing.

The turn of events came as a surprise when Emma Stone won the Best Actress award for her performance in “Poor Things”. This outcome was unexpected as it was highly anticipated that Lily Gladstone, who received rave reviews for her acting in "Killers of the Flower Moon," would be most likely the winner.

“Poor Things” also triumphed in three crafts divisions: Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Da’Vine Joy Randolph was awarded the Best Supporting Actress for her acting in “The Holdovers.”

“The Boy and the Heron” directed by Hayao Miyazaki and Produced by Toshio Suzuki won the Best Animated Feature, while Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” was honored with the Oscar for Best International Feature. The Best Documentary was "20 Days in Mariupol."

Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s song “What Was I Made For?” from “Barbie” has been awarded the Oscar for Best Original Song.

In the screenplay categories, Justine Triet and Arthur Harari won Best Original Screenplay for “Anatomy of a Fall,” while Cord Jefferson won Best Adapted Screenplay for “American Fiction.”
