2024 Oscars Review

The 96th Academy Awards showcased a triumphant night for “Oppenheimer,” which led the pack with a total of 13 nominations and clinched the most Oscars, securing seven wins. These wins included prestigious categories such as Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, as well as awards for Cinematography, Editing, and Score. Cillian Murphy’s performance in “Oppenheimer” was particularly notable, as it continued his winning streak from other major awards ceremonies.

“Barbie,” part of the box office phenomenon dubbed Barbenheimer alongside “Oppenheimer,” received eight nominations but won only one award for Best Original Song, highlighting Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s contribution with “What Was I Made For?”

“Oppenheimer” wasn’t the only film to receive accolades; “Poor Things” emerged as a significant winner, taking home awards in categories like Hair and Makeup, Production Design, and Costume Design. Emma Stone’s win for Best Actress in “Poor Things” was considered an upset, especially given the historic nomination of Lily Gladstone in “Killers of the Flower Moon” as the first Native American nominated for Best Actress.

The ceremony, held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, was filled with both humorous and poignant moments, with Jimmy Kimmel returning as host for his fourth overall appearance, underscoring his popularity and connection with the audience.

The full roster of winners reflects a diverse and talented group, ranging from Robert Downey Jr.’s win for Best Supporting Actor in “Oppenheimer” to the varied films recognized across categories like animated features, international films, and documentaries. This year’s Oscars highlighted both the extraordinary talent across the film industry and the diverse stories that captivated audiences worldwide in 2023.

At JamarGig we salute the winners and all the nominees. We can’t wait to see the inaugural Oscar for Casting in 2025!
