2024 Oscar winners: Oppenheimer wins 7 awards, including Best Picture

There weren’t a lot of surprise winners or upsets at the 2024 Oscars, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t an entertaining show. As expected, Oppenheimer was the big winner at the 96th Academy Awards, with Christopher Nolan scoring his first wins for Best Picture and Best Director. Out of 11 nominations, Oppenheimer took home seven Oscars, including Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr., and the awards for original score, cinematography, and film editing.

Best Actress went to Emma Stone for her role in Poor Things, a film that also won best costume design, production design, and makeup and hairstyling. The Holdovers‘ Da’Vine Joy Randolph was named Best Supporting Actress in the first award that was given during the ceremony.

Barbie –  the other half of the Barbenheimer phenomenon that made both films blockbusters – did not go home empty-handed. Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell won Best Original Song for What Was I Made For?, beating out the other song from Barbie, I’m Just Ken, which had by far the best show-stopping performance of the night.
