OSCARS 2024 LIVE: Oscar Winners and Nominees Arrive for the Governors Ball | Oppenheimer | 96th Academy awards | IN18L Winners and nominees arrive for the Governors Ball post-Oscars celebration. Christopher Nolan's acclaimed atomic-bomb thriller is a clear front-runner for best picture at tonight's 96th Academy Awards. "Oppenheimer" won best director, actor (Cillian Murphy), supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.), film editing and cinematography, while "Poor Things" took home three technical Oscars and Da'Vine Joy Randolph ("The Holdovers") was named best supporting actress. The most intriguing category left is best actress, which features Lily Gladstone ("Killers of the Flower Moon") vs. Emma Stone ("Poor Things"). A Gladstone win would be the first competitive Oscar for an Indigenous actor in long history of the Academy Awards.
