Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer leads winners of the 96th Academy Awards

March 11, 2024 by Gary Collinson

Heading into the night as the favourite after a strong awards season run, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer picked up seven Oscars at last night’s 96th Academy Awards, including gongs for Best Picture, Best Director (Nolan), Best Actor (Cillian Murphy) and Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.).

In perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening, Emma Stone received her second Oscar for Best Actress for Poor Things ahead of category favourite Lily Gladstone, while the awards for Best Supporting Actress went to Da’Vine Joy Randolph for The Holdovers.

Meanwhile Greta Gerwig’s Barbie had to settle for just the one award – Best Original Song – while Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron and Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest were honoured with Best Animated Film and Best International Feature Film. Check out the full list of winners here…
