The 2024 Oscars were both predictable and unexpected, with all the awards going to the favorites, during a mostly sedated and politically correct Jimmy Kimmel as a host. However, the 96th Academy Awards were also funny, moving, and surprisingly political, with speeches touching on the conflict in Gaza, the war in Ukraine.
As many critics anticipated, "Oppenheimer" was the big winner of the 96th Academy Awards, with seven Oscars, followed by "Poor Things," with four. And in a plot twist that few people expected, Ryan Gosling lost the Oscar but won the night. The best moment of the ceremony was during his musical number of "I Am Just Ken."
