Oscar Awards 2024: Oppenheimer sweeps the Oscars with 7 wins, Barbie only wins Best Song

It was a clean sweep for Oppenheimer at the 96th Academy Awards. The film which led the nominations with 13 nods this year, won 7 awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor Oscar. Poor Things was a close second with four awards – including Best Actress Oscar for Emma Stone. The ceremony took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the ceremony for the fourth time. An ‘overwhelmed’ Cillian Murphy dedicated his Best Actor trophy to peacemakers of the world. Murphy’s stupendous performance as Robert J Oppenheimer in Nolan’s film earned him his first nomination and first Oscar win. “For better or worse, we’re all living in Robert Oppenheimer’s world. i’d like to dedicate this to peacemakers,” said the Irish actor on stage while receiveing his award.
