The 96th annual Academy Awards took place last night (March 10), and played out fairly predictably: Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer exploded the competition, taking home seven awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Cillian Murphy) and Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.).
Again, as one might have guessed, Yorgos Lanthimos's Poor Things also did well, and Emma Stone even took home the Best Actress Award for the second time (after winning for La La Land in 2017), despite Lily Gladstone having been the frontrunner for her performance in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. (It's just a tad ironic that this happened the same year as The Curse came out.)
Ryan Gosling's Mickey Mouse Club training shone as he took to the stage to perform "I'm Just Ken" from Barbie, but it was Billie Eilish and brother FINNEAS's Grammy-winning soundtrack contribution, "What Was I Made For?," that nabbed Best Original Song, their stripped-back piano performance even earning a standing ovation. Our Editor-in-Chief's Jonathan Glazer-directed darling, The Zone of Interest, also snagged two awards, and apparently a dog pissed on Matt Damon's Hollywood Walk of Fame star? Hopefully that becomes this year's slap.
