Here's Everything You Might Have Missed At The 2024 Oscars
“Oppenheimer” dominated the 2024 Oscars Sunday night, nabbing eight wins, including the awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.
Christopher Nolan, who directed “Oppenheimer,” Robert Downey Jr. and Cillian Murphy all won their first Oscars for their work on the film. Emma Stone won Best Actress for her role in “Poor Things.” She was in a tight race with Lily Gladstone, who starred in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” She would have been the first Native American to win a competitive Oscar. Da’Vine Joy Randolph continued her winning streak in her win for Best Supporting Actress, for her role in “The Holdovers.”
The ceremony brought back an old format to present some of the awards: past winners of the acting categories introduced the nominees and then announced the winner together. The Oscars last used the format in 2009.
Jimmy Kimmel hosted the ceremony for the fourth time — and even drew the ire of former President Donald Trump, who wrote, “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars?” on his social media platform Truth Social. “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and can never be.”
Kimmel read the message onstage and replied with a quip: “Isn’t it past your jail time?”
HuffPost reporters and editors chatted about the ceremony. Read below to catch up on what you might have missed.
