Today, March 11 (IST), the 96th Academy Awards were held in Los Angeles. Jimmy Kimmel, a well-known host of late-night shows, once again presented the event. Oppenheimer, directed by Christopher Nolan, took home the most accolades (7), including Best Picture and Best Actor. Poor Things, starring Emma Stone, came in second, winning numerous times as well. Emma Stone received her second career Oscar in the Best Actress category, which she won with Poor Things. It had been won by her for La La land before. To Kill a Tiger, an Indian film, received a nomination for Best Documentary Feature. Nevertheless, 20 Days in Mariupol won the prize instead of it. India’s involvement in the Oscar race increased last year as a result of SS Rajamouli’s enormous success with RRR, which starred Jr. NTR and Ram Charan. The dance sequence “Naatu Naatu” from the movie eventually took home an Oscar in the Best Original Song category.
The film “Oppenheimer,” directed by Christopher Nolan, took home the Best Picture Oscar, its fifth of the year.
Emma Stone has now won two times in the Best Actress competition. She took home the prize for her role in Poor Things.
Christopher Nolan’s remarkable performance in Oppenheimer earned him the much-coveted Best Director Oscar.
Oscar for Best Actor went to Cillian Murphy for his intense role in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
Barbie included the song “What was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish, which won the Oscar for Best Original song.
