Oscars 2024 Winners List: Oppenheimer Takes Best Picture, With Real Competition From Poor Things

The post Oscars 2024 Winners List: Oppenheimer Takes Best Picture, With Real Competition From Poor Things appeared first on Consequence.

Another awards season comes to an end, as the 2024 Oscars named Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer as Best Picture, beating out contenders like Killers of the Flower Moon, Barbie, and Poor Things. Nolan also won for directing, while Cillian Murphy beat out The Holdovers‘s Paul Giamatti for Lead Actor and Robert Downey Jr. received the win for Supporting Actor.

But Poor Things didn’t fare too badly, taking home four awards including a surprise win for Emma Stone, who was widely considered the underdog given Lily Gladstone’s heavily favored performance in Flower Moon. American Fiction also took home a well-deserved adapted screenplay nomination, while Anatomy of a Fall won for original screenplay.

Barbie didn’t go completely win-less, as Billie Eilish and Finneas won their second Oscar for “What Was I Made For?” (just after a jaw-dropping rendition of “I’m Just Ken” by Ryan Gosling and a whole bunch of Kens). Outstanding Original Score, meanwhile, was won by Ludwig Göransson (Consequence‘s Composer of the Year in 2023).

The other winners include The Boy and the Heron for animated feature film, Da’Vine Joy Randolph for supporting actress in The Holdovers, Godzilla Minus One for visual effects, and Poor Things for other below-the-line prizes like hair and make-up, costumes, and production design. Oppenheimer, meanwhile, won for cinematography and editing — plus, Wes Anderson won his first Oscar ever, for the live-action short film The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
