The Oscars 2024 recap: Highlights and full list of winners

 

 

Folks, it’s the Oscars’ time of the year again!

The 96th Academy Awards where once again filled with the red carpet of glitz and glam, shining brighter as the spotlights hit the stage night surrounded with claps, standing ovations--- and of course, the cherry on top of the cake: emotions!

 

No surprise, we are all living in Oppenheimer’s world!

 

The highly-acclaimed movie swept awards at Oscars with seven wins, including Best Picture, Director, Actor and more!

 


Can’t stop, won’t stop for Cillian Murphy!

 


Irish actor Cillian Murphy, known for his compelling portrayal of dark, brooding characters and distinctive piercing blue eyes, achieved another milestone in his career by securing an Oscar for his performance in 'Oppenheimer,' thereby concluding his successful run throughout the awards season.

Having already clinched a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and a Screen Actors Guild award, the actor received further recognition for his leading role as theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer in the biopic depicting the life of the renowned figure known as the father of the atomic bomb.

Twice the fun for Emma Stone! 



 

Emma Stone received her Oscars award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Bella Baxter in “Poor Things.”

 

But, uh-oh! Emma Stone suffers wardrobe malfunction on stage




During Stone's big moment, she held back her tears when her dress seemed to rip.

 

But the show must go on for Emma, and even despite her hoarse voice, she concluded her speech with a heartfelt mention of her pride and joy, her daughter who she said is turning three years old.

 

Stone clinched her second Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role, marking a repeat victory following her initial win in 2017 for her performance in "La La Land."

 

We can see you from here, John Cena! 

 


Actor-wrestler John Cena also meanwhile stole the spotlight: walked on to the stage at the 96th Academy Awards and highlighted the importance of costumes in films, but how about giving him a "Best Joker" award because he chose not to almost wear one himself! 

John Cena's appearance, partially unclothed, elicited cheers and laughter from the audience, particularly from Margot Robbie.
