Awards-season juggernaut "Oppenheimer" didn't sweep the Oscars, but it bagged significant wins, clinching the night's most prestigious award. Christopher Nolan's gripping atomic-bomb thriller secured seven accolades, including Best Picture at the 96th Academy Awards. "Oppenheimer" also snagged Best Director, Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Film Editing, Best Score, and Best Cinematography. Yorgos Lanthimos' dark comic fantasy "Poor Things" also had a shining moment, securing four Oscars, including Best Actress for Emma Stone. Da'Vine Joy Randolph took home the award for Best Supporting Actress for "The Holdovers."
The Oscars night was filled with unforgettable moments, from a surprising win for "Oppenheimer" to Emma Stone's heartfelt acceptance speech, quoting Taylor Swift while thanking her daughter. The evening's highlights included a memorable appearance by Al Pacino, who casually announced "Oppenheimer" as the Best Picture winner, and Jimmy Kimmel's sharp retort to Donald Trump's criticism of his hosting.
Emma Stone's win for Best Actress in "Poor Things" was a touching moment, as she expressed gratitude for the role and dedicated the award to her daughter. Cillian Murphy and Christopher Nolan also celebrated their victories for "Oppenheimer," with Murphy acknowledging his Irish roots and Nolan dedicating his win to peacemakers.
Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell's win for Best Original Song added a musical touch to the night, while Ryan Gosling's energetic performance of "I'm Just Ken" brought a fun and entertaining element to the ceremony. The backstage scene was equally exciting, with the 64 dancing Kens from Gosling's performance celebrating in jubilation after their act.
Amidst the glitz and glamour, Emma Stone's emotional reaction to "Poor Things" winning Oscars in categories she had missed was a poignant moment, highlighting the unpredictability and joy of the Oscars experience.
