By Mulder, Los Angeles, Dolby Theatre , 10 march 2024

The 96th Academy Awards ceremony was held on March 10, 2024 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and broadcast by ABC, the evening was produced by Raj Kapoor, Molly McNearney and Katy Mullan, with Hamish Hamilton directing. Jimmy Kimmel, true to form, hosted for the fourth time, confirming his talent for captivating audiences.

This year, the spotlight was on Oppenheimer, which dominated the competition with thirteen nominations, closely followed by Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon. Oppenheimer scooped seven trophies, including Best Film, emerging as the evening's big winner. Poor Things was not to be outdone, winning four Oscars, while The Zone of Interest took two. Other films, such as American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, and Barbie, were also honored, each in their respective categories.

A highlight of the year was the Barbenheimer cultural phenomenon, resulting from the numerous nominations of Barbie and Oppenheimer, which competed in six categories, including Best Film. The likes of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese continued to write their names into Oscar history, while LGBTQ+ actors and the first Native American actress nominated marked a significant step forward in terms of diversity and representation.

The ceremony was generally well received, despite some criticism of the In Memoriam segment as too distracting, and Al Pacino's performance during the Best Picture presentation, which raised concerns about his well-being. Nevertheless, the musical performances, innovative category presentations and acceptance speeches were the highlights of the evening, celebrating cinema in all its forms. In summary, the 96th Academy Awards was an evening of celebration, recognition and controversy, reflecting both the evolutions and enduring challenges of the film industry.
