The 96th Academy Awards, also known as the 2024 Oscars, took place in Los Angeles on Monday morning (India time), with Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer clinching victories in seven categories. The biographical thriller led with 13 nominations, followed by the dark comedy Poor Things, which received 11 nods and won four Oscars. Fan favourites Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr bagged their first Oscars, while Nolan won his maiden directing award.
The ceremony was presided over by Jimmy Kimmel for the fourth time, and saw several past winners return to present awards in their respective categories.
