Oppenheimer was the main contender at this year’s Academy Awards with 13 nominations, and it exceeded our wildest expectations. Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb film blew the Oscars voters away and stole the show on Sunday night with seven wins, including best picture.

The Holdovers, Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives, Barbie, and The Zone of Interest were competing against Oppenheimer for the best picture award, but this film eventually managed to beat them all. Christopher Nolan also won his first Oscar for best director for his work on Oppenheimer.

Oppenheimer also dominated the acting categories with two wins for its stars Cillian Murphy (best actor) and Robert Downey Jr. (best supporting actor). Emma Stone (best actress for Poor Things) and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (best supporting actress for The Holdovers) also collected acting Oscars.

Oppenheimer’s Academy Awards sweep continued in the technical categories with three wins, including best original score, best cinematography, and best film editing. It was also a night to remember for the team behind Poor Things with four awards and The Zone of Interest with two.

The 96th Academy Awards returned to LA’s Dolby Theatre on March 10, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the ceremony for the fourth time.

The BAFTA Awards returned to London on Sunday night, and gave us another night to remember, especially for the Oppenheimer team. Christopher Nolan’s latest film stole the show at this year’s ceremony and walked away with seven accolades, including the best film prize.

Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Poor Things were also in the running for best film prize at this year’s BAFTAs, but none of them could stand their ground to Oppenheimer. After years of failed attempts, Christopher Nolan also managed to win his first BAFTA for the best director.

Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. both collected acting accolades for their roles in this atomic bomb epic, which also came out victorious in three technical categories: best cinematography, editing, and original score.

Poor Things was also among the biggest winners of the night with five awards, including the best actress trophy for its leading lady Emma Stone. Despite its huge success, this film failed to come out victorious in the outstanding British film category, losing out to The Zone of Interest.

The 2024 BAFTA Awards winners were announced from the Royal Festival Hall in London on February 18, with David Tennant serving as the first-time host.

Many of the year’s most anticipated films finally saw the light of day in Venice, but only one could take the coveted Golden Lion home. Yorgos Lanthimos’ surrealist black comedy Poor Things is the biggest winner of this year’s Venice Film Festival after being honored with the Golden Lion.

Poor Things had its world premiere in Venice on September 1, and it will most likely hit the fall festival circuit before being theatrically released by Searchlight Pictures on December 8. The film was met with rave reviews in Venice before picking up the festival’s most prestigious accolade, with Emma Stone’s performance being singled out as one of its highlights.

Poor Things had tough competition in Michael Mann’s Ferrari, David Fincher’s The Killer, and Sofia Copolla’s Priscilla, among others, but it was eventually crowned as the Golden Lion winner. Lanthimos collected the award and dedicated it to the leading lady Emma Stone, saying “this film is her in front and behind the camera.”

In addition to Poor Things, the list of winners also included Evil Does Not Exist (Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize) and Green Border (Special Jury Prize). Peter Sarsgaard and Cailee Spaeny won the Volpi Cup for their acting performances in Memory and Priscilla, respectively, while Matteo Garrone collected the Silver Lion for the best director with Io Capitano.

Oppenheimer definitely emerged as the top contender, after receiving 13 nods all across the board. It’s in the running for three acting awards thanks to its stars Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, and Robert Downey Jr., but it’s also the front-runner in multiple technical categories, ranging from best cinematography to best sound.

The 96th Academy Awards will be announced on March 10 from LA’s Dolby Theatre. ABC will handle the live broadcast, and they’ve chosen Jimmy Kimmel to host the show.

Many of the year’s most anticipated films finally saw the light of day in Venice, but only one could take the coveted Golden Lion home. Yorgos Lanthimos’ surrealist black comedy Poor Things is the biggest winner of this year’s Venice Film Festival after being honored with the Golden Lion.

Poor Things had its world premiere in Venice on September 1, and it will most likely hit the fall festival circuit before being theatrically released by Searchlight Pictures on December 8. The film was met with rave reviews in Venice before picking up the festival’s most prestigious accolade, with Emma Stone’s performance being singled out as one of its highlights.

Poor Things had tough competition in Michael Mann’s Ferrari, David Fincher’s The Killer, and Sofia Copolla’s Priscilla, among others, but it was eventually crowned as the Golden Lion winner. Lanthimos collected the award and dedicated it to the leading lady Emma Stone, saying “this film is her in front and behind the camera.”

In addition to Poor Things, the list of winners also included Evil Does Not Exist (Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize) and Green Border (Special Jury Prize). Peter Sarsgaard and Cailee Spaeny won the Volpi Cup for their acting performances in Memory and Priscilla, respectively, while Matteo Garrone collected the Silver Lion for the best director with Io Capitano.
