The 2024 Oscar Winners

This awards season had it all: Bradley Cooper spending six years in conducting school for a six-minute sequence that people pretended to care about; Cillian Murphy losing his title as Ireland’s Sweetheart to Ayo Edebiri; Barbie snubs probably heard around the ghost offices of the gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss co-working space, the Wing. All of that pandering and excitement and anger of the last cinematic calendar year comes to a close with the 2024 Academy Awards on March 10. The ceremony honors achievements, not in which film had the most spineless husband, but the film arts and technology, with Oppenheimer nabbing 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things at its heels with 11 nods. In the end, the Oppenhomies took home seven trophies, including Best Picture and Best Director, while Poor Things’ Emma Stone nabbed Best Actress, stealing Killers of the Flower Moon’s one shot at a win after ten nominations. Billie Eilish won her second Oscar, for her Barbie song, making history alongside Cillian Murphy, the first-ever Irish-born winner for Best Actor.
