Oscars 2024: Full List of Winners

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” an unsettling look at the dawn of the atomic era, dominated the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday, winning seven prizes, including best picture and best director. 

The pic also scored Oscars for Cillian Murphy’s haunted lead performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Robert Downey Jr.’s supporting turn as a vengeful bureaucrat.

“We made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb, and for better or for worse, we’re all living in Oppenheimer’s world,” Murphy said in his acceptance speech.

Seven years after winning “La La Land,” Emma Stone earned her second-best actress Oscar for “Poor Things.” Stone played a child-like woman who embarks on a journey of self-discovery in the steampunk fantasy. 

The win was one of four victories for “Poor Things,” which also was recognized in several technical and below-the-line categories.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph earned best supporting actress for her role as a grieving cafeteria manager grappling with the death of her son in “The Holdovers.”  Like Randolph, Cord Jefferson and Justine Triet won on their first nominations.

“Oppenheimer,” with its solemn subject matter, was a change of pace for Downey, who spent the past two decades playing Iron Man in Marvel movies. 

“Here’s my little secret: I needed this job more than it needed me,” Downey said. The actor, who struggled with drug addiction through the 1990s and early aughts before getting sober and launching his comeback, thanked Tom Hansen, his lawyer of 40 years — “half of which,” Downey joked, “he spent trying to get me insured and bailing me out.”

Other winners used their time on stage to make political statements. Jonathan Glazer, director of the best international feature winner “The Zone of Interest,” a drama set in Auschwitz, spoke out about the ongoing violence in the Middle East. He cited the message of his searing look at the Holocaust in condemning Israel’s military response, as well as the terrorist attacks launched by Hamas last fall.

“20 Days in Mariupol,” a harrowing report from a besieged Ukrainian city, won best documentary. 

Billie Eilish made history, becoming the youngest two-time Oscar recipient at age 22 after winning best song for her “Barbie” ballad “What Was I Made For?” She co-wrote the song with her brother, Finneas O’Connell — the pair previously won for penning the theme to 2021’s “No Time to Die.” 

On the other end of the age divide, Hayao Miyazaki became the oldest winner of Best Animated Feature for “The Boy and the Heron.” The 83-year-old Japanese animation maestro previously won for 2002’s “Spirited Away.”

This 2024 Academy Awards, honoring the best films of the previous year, arrived at a tumultuous moment for Hollywood, which didn’t have a whole lot to celebrate over those 12 months. 

The major studios spent much of that time locked in labor disputes with the leading actors and writers' unions, a standoff that resulted in two costly strikes that shut down film production. A big part of the debate centered on how the streaming revolution that changed how movies and shows are made and distributed has also disrupted the way that the creative community profits from its work. 

Jimmy Kimmel, returning for a fourth-round as Oscars host, kicked off the ceremony with jokes about the Academy’s snub of “Barbie” filmmaker Greta Gerwig in the directing category, the excessive lengths of several nominated films (“Oppenheimer” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” breach the three-hour mark) and Robert De Niro’s much younger girlfriend.
