The biggest honor that the film snagged was Best Actress, with Emma Stone beating out fellow favorite Lily Gladstone, nominated for Killers of the Flower Moon.The only other movie to collect more than one Oscar was Jonathan Glazer’s harrowing Holocaust drama The Zone of Interest, which won Best International Feature and an extremely well-deserved Sound Design win.Three of the four acting categories went to first-time winners.

It appears the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and ABC have read the room. The Oscars partners announced key dates for the 2024 Oscars season and made some very important changes.

It’s been a week since the 96th Oscars came to a rushed close and it turned out to be a big “whew” for The Academy. Despite some unfortunate discourse over Jonathan Glazer‘s acceptance speech, this awards season ended with no serious controversies, no embarrassing upsets, and an uptick in television ratings (whether it’s enough for ABC to pay big bucks for the telecast remains to be seen).

Lily Gladstone officially broke her silence after losing the highly coveted Oscar for Best Actress to “Poor Things” lead Emma Stone.“Feeling the love big time today, especially from Indian Country,” the “Killers of the Flower Moon” star posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday. “Kittō”kuniikaakomimmō”po’waw — seriously, I love you all.” The actress — who made history by being the first Native American to be nominated in the Best Actress category — joked that she didn’t walk away totally empty-handed.

Best Picture nominee “Past Lives,” wore a turtle pin to the 2024 Oscars in memory of his pet tortoise that died in August 2023. “OK, so my pet tortoise passed away last year and I had him for 10 years,” Yoo, 42, explained to a Variety reporter on the Los Angeles red carpet Sunday.In the video, the South Korean actor revealed that he named his reptile Momo after a children’s fantasy novel of the same name written by German author Michael Ende. The novel was published in 1973.Yoo, who was born in Germany, joked that his fan club back home named themselves “Momos” after the turtle.

John Cena’s “nude” 2024 Oscars skit — and said ABC execs were “terrified” over the idea.In his “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” monologue Monday night, the 96th Academy Awards master of ceremonies gave a post-mortem on the previous night’s ceremony, in which Cena, 46, memorably appeared onstage— with nothing but a strategically placed envelope covering his penis — to present the award for Best Costume.It was an homage of sorts to the incident 50 years earlier, at the 1974 Oscars, when a naked streaker ran onto the stage behind David Niven on live television.“Getting this on the air . .

the 2024 Oscars Sunday, host Jimmy Kimmel, 56, made a joke about Donald Trump. The former president wrote on the social media platform Truth Social, “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars.

The 96th Academy Awards ceremony was so locked in and nearly pre-determined that we, and many other outlets like ours, didn’t bother with an annual Snubs and Surprises feature—90% of the winners were that expected. But the Oscars always manage to throw in at least one curveball, and that was the Best Actress race.

coveted Best Picture award at the 2024 Oscars.The “Scarface” actor, who appeared during Sunday’s star-studded ceremony to present the top honor, went about his presenting duties in an unconventional manner.Instead of building the tension and suspense by naming each of the 10 nominees — as every other presenter before him has — the “Godfather” star just blurted out the winning motion picture, Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.”But according to the actor, 83, the Academy had not asked him to name the other nominees up for the gong.“There seems to be some controversy about my not mentioning every film by name last night before announcing the best picture award,” Pacino told The Post in a statement.“I just want to be clear it was not my intention to omit them, rather a choice by the producers not to have them said again since they were highlighted individually throughout the ceremony. I was honored to be a part of the evening and chose to follow the way they wished for this award to be presented.”“I realize being nominated is a huge milestone in one’s life and to not be fully recognized is offensive and hurtful,” he went on.

The official Nielsen fast national ratings for the 96th Academy Awards came a bit later than usual Monday afternoon, but, in general, it was good news for AMPAS and its broadcast network ABC. This year’s Oscars telecast drew an average of 19.5 million viewers.

shared the stage with a troupe of dancing Kens at the 2024 Oscars Sunday, but there’s only one Barbie in his life: Eva Mendes.And even though the Best Supporting Actor nominee for “Barbie” walked the red carpet with his sister and parents instead of his wife — the Hollywood honeys rarely make public appearances together — Mendes, 50, was backstage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles as Gosling, 43, was preparing to bring the house down with his performance of “I’m Just Ken.”In fact, before the ceremony, Mendes posted an Instagram reel — with “I’m Just Ken” playing, naturally — where she was standing outside Gosling’s dressing room with the caption: “Always be my man.”And after Gosling’s performance, Mendes gave us another behind-the-scenes Insta-peek with a pic of her rocking the same crystal-studded pink suit jacket and black cowboy hat that her husband wore during his show-stopping number.And this time the caption read: “You took Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG.

presentation of the coveted Best Picture award while appearing on “Live with Kelly and Mark.” “I guess he’s never watched an awards show before,” Kimmel, 56, told Kelly Ripa, 53, and Mark Consuelos, 52, in a clip aired on Monday. “It seems like everyone in America knows the rhythm of how it’s supposed to go, down to ‘And the Oscar goes to…’ but, uh, not Al.”The “Scarface” actor — who was supposed to reunite with his co-star Michelle Pfeiffer until she dropped out last-minute — appeared during Sunday’s star-studded assembly to present the top honor … with his own twist. Instead of building the tension and suspense — as other presenters have before — by naming each of the 10 nominated films, the “Godfather” star just blurted out the victor.“This is the time for the last award of the evening, and it’s my honor to present it.

Oscars 2024 host Jimmy Kimmel’s opinion trumped the advice of the award show’s organizers Sunday night.Somebody in charge told him not to read aloud a Truth Social post by Donald Trump criticizing his performance at the 96th Academy Awards when he had an extra minute to fill near the end of the ABC broadcast, Kimmel said in an interview Monday.“They’re like, ‘You’ve got a little bit of time’ and I was like, ‘I’m reading the Trump tweet,’ and they’re like, ‘No, no, don’t read that,'” he told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. “[I was like] ‘Yes I am.’”The former president and current candidate wrote on the social media platform: “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars.

The 96th Academy Awards ceremony was held on Sunday, March 10th, in Los Angeles at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. And, of course, the “In Memoriam” is always a notable section, known for producing tears but also jeers at all the omissions that seem to occur each year.

Sunday night’s 2024 Oscars, angry viewers at home ripped the R.I.P segment online.The ABC broadcast, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, made it challenging to see the names and faces of deceased stars in the emotional In Memoriam, put dancers in front of the screen and frequently showed Italian singers Andrea Bocelli and son Matteo Bocelli instead of the dead.“The direction of this In Memoriam is shocking,” wrote user @LoganKenny1 on X, formerly known as Twitter. “The entire image should be the people who’ve died, not the dancers and the stage.
