'Oppenheimer' dominates at the 2024 Oscars

Emma Stone has won the Oscar for best actress in a leading role, thanks to her daring portrayal of Bella Baxter in "Poor Things."

She pointed out the other nominees within the lead actress category this year: Lily Gladstone for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Annette Bening for “Nyad,” Sandra Hüller for “Anatomy of a Fall” and Carey Mulligan for “Maestro.”  

"I share this with you. I'm in awe of you. And it has been such an honor to do all this together. I hope we get to keep doing more together," she said.

She thanked those who worked on the film and her family for the award. This was one of the few major races widely considered a toss-up heading into tonight.

This is Stone’s second Oscar for best actress in a leading role, after winning the award in 2017 for “La La Land.”    

In “Poor Things,” Stone plays a child-like woman who is reanimated by a mad professor-type using the brain of her unborn child.

The bizarre and outlandish film was nominated for 11 Oscars total this year. 

This post has been updated with details from Stone's speech and about the movie.

Jimmy Kimmel referenced the 2017 "Envelopegate" blunder as he introduced Al Pacino to announce the night's Best Picture winner. 

That year, before “Moonlight” won Best Picture, the winner was announced by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as “La La Land,” due to a mix-up.

The “La La Land” cast took the stage when they realized the mistake. 

Christopher Nolan has won the best director Oscar for “Oppenheimer.”

Nolan thanked the cast and crew, with a special shoutout to his wife and producer on the film, Emma Thomas.

“The incredible Emma Thomas. Producer — producer of all our films and all our children. I love you," he said.

He then went on to give a heartfelt thanks to the Academy.  

It has been an award season rich with success for "Oppenheimer,” which picked up dozens of awards across the major and guild awards shows, even before tonight.

Cillian Murphy has won the Academy Award for best actor in a leading role for his part in "Oppenheimer."

The native of Cork City dedicated the win to what he called "the peacemakers everywhere," and thanked his fellow cast and crew members on the movie. He wrapped up with "Gura míle maith agaibh" — Gaelic for "a thousand thanks to you all."

Murphy portrayed the eponymous J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of the atomic bomb, in Christopher Nolan’s epic “Oppenheimer.” This was his first Academy Award nomination, and now his first win. 

Director Nolan and Murphy have enjoyed an illustrious and longstanding collaboration, beginning with the actor’s chilling portrayal of the villain Scarecrow in Nolan’s “Batman Begins” in 2005. Murphy also appeared in the director’s sci-fi mindbender “Inception” in 2010, as well as the 2017 war epic “Dunkirk.” 

Every year the Academy pays tribute to those we have lost, and every year it's a gut punch.

This year the show bid farewell to everyone from Andre Braugher to composer (and Spike Lee's father) Bill Lee, "Friends" star Matthew Perry, Tina Turner and legendary actress Glenda Jackson, as well as a host of others.

Names and photos appeared on screen as dancers performed to Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo who sang "Time to Say Goodbye."

It was a moment.

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell have won the Oscar for best original song in the movie “Barbie."

Eilish and Finneas thanked an array of people, from "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig to their parents and Eilish's childhood friend, whom she says she played dolls with growing up.

Eilish had said her award-winning song was more personal than she thought it would be. She wrote most of the song, a haunting track that speaks to finding meaning and purpose, with Finneas in one night, she said in an appearance on The Hollywood Reporter’s Songwriter Roundtable. 

This post has been updated with details from the acceptance speech and background on the song.

“Oppenheimer” has taken home the Academy Award for best original score.

Composer Ludwig Göransson thanked director Christopher Nolan for his idea of using a violin in the score, because it allowed him to collaborate with his wife, who is an acclaimed violinist.

More on the film: As the name suggests, Nolan took on the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientific genius and conflicted godfather of the atomic bomb.

Working in IMAX, the director conjures an overwhelming, altogether haunting retelling of the story of the bomb’s creation and its fallout across three taut hours that push the limits of the medium itself. Nolan’s screenplay – written, unusually, in the first person – drew from the definitive biography “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin.

All it took was Ryan Gosling to pop up in the seat behind Margot Robbie singing the opening line of "I'm Just Ken" from "Barbie" to make her burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Wearing a hot pink glitter suit with sunglasses, Gosling started the song in Robbie's ear, as she broke into giggles.

Both "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig and the movie's "Weird Barbie," Kate McKinnon, enthusiastically cheered on the performance while Carrie Mulligan gave a standing ovation.

Ryan Gosling, what a doll! 

The actor’s performance of “I'm Just Ken” from the film “Barbie” at the Oscars couldn’t have been more eagerly awaited, and he delivered. 

Donning a sparkly pink suit, he began his performance in the audience wearing a cowboy hat, before hitting the stage with a ton of backup dancers.

It was a full-on performance, and legendary musician Slash even showed up on guitar.

“Barbie,” you’ll recall, was a box office hit last year and snagged Gosling a best supporting actor nod for his role as Ken. 

He also became a breakout music star thanks to the playful single, which hit the charts after it was released. 

The song was nominated for an Oscar for best original song, and Gosling was joined for the performance by co-composer Mark Ronson. 

It faces competition from another member of the “Barbie” family — Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For,” also from the “Barbie” soundtrack, is nominated as well.
