Hollywood’s biggest night took place during the 96th Academy Awards, and it proved to be the film with the most nominations that took home the most statues with Oppenheimer dominating the event with a total of seven wins.

Oppenheimer walked into Oscar night with 11 nominations and ended up going home with seven, including Best Picture, Best Director (Christopher Nolan), Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Original Score, Best Editing and Best Cinematography. Nolan took home first first Oscar as a director and even snagged a second with the film’s Best Picture win as a producer. Nolan had this to say when he accepted the directing Oscar:

“Movies are just over 100 years old and just imagine 100 years into painting or theater. We don’t know where this journey is going from here, but to know that you think I’m a meaningful part of it means the world to me.”

In the battle between Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone, it was the Poor Things actress who came out on top with her win in the Best Actress category for the Yorgos Lanthimos film. Both actresses had won several precursors leading up to Oscar night which made the race hard to call but it was ultimately Stone’s role as Bella Baxter that won over voters. It was Stone’s second win in this category following her victory in 2017 for La La Land.

Poor Things was the second most-awarded film of the night with four wins, three of which were won back to back with accolades for Best Makeup And Hairstyling, Production Design, and Costume Design. There was only one other film with more than one win and that was A24’s The Zone of Interest (winning Best International Feature and Best Sound).

Da’Vine Joy Randolph continued her awards season dominance with her Best Supporting Actress win for The Holdovers. Randolph swept in this category all awards season so her win was pretty much a guarantee. The actress also wowed the audience with an acceptance speech that had her co-star Paul Giamatti visibly in tears.

Barbie only took home one Oscar last night but it proved to break a record of its own. Siblings Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell won their second Best Song Oscar in four years for the emotional “What Was I Made For?” The win made the pair Oscars’ youngest two-time winners following their previous win for penning the title track from 2022’s James Bond film, No Time To Die. Both Eilish and O’Connell are both under the age of 30.

Cord Jefferson can add being an Oscar winner to his plate following his win for Best Original Screenplay for his work on American Fiction. Jefferson previously won an Emmy Award for HBO’s Watchmen. The Adapted Screenplay Oscar went to Justine Triet and Arthur Harari for their work on the critically acclaimed, Anatomy of a Fall.
