With "Poor Things" by Giorgos Lanthimos winning four awards in the categories of Set Design, Hair-Make-up, Costume Design and Best Actress, the 96th annual Academy Awards in Hollywood concluded. However, the film that swept the awards was Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" which won 7, including best film, performance award for Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. and best director for Christopher Nolan.

"Oppenheimer" was the film with the most nominations: 13. It was followed by "Poor Things" by Giorgos Lanthimos with 11 nominations. "Killers of the Flower Moon" by Martin Scorsese with 10 and finally "Barbie" by Greta Gerwig with 8.

Jimmy Kimmel, hosting the big night for the 4th time, opened the show with a short, pre-recorded skit with "Barbie" star Margot Robbie before taking the stage to a standing ovation. The host included Messi, the dog from the movie "Anatomy of a Fall," in his Oscar monologue, and the camera panned to the animal sitting next to his boss.

The film "Anatomy of a Fall" won the Oscar for best original screenplay. The courtroom drama set in a trial where a writer is accused of murdering her husband. Justine Trier, who directed the film, shares the award with her partner Artir Arari, with whom they co-wrote the script—which they created amid the pandemic. The film, which received the Palme d'Or at Cannes, dissects the dissolution of a marriage and always leaves doubts about the truth.

Lanthimos' film Poor Things also won her first statuette for the best hairstyles and make-up, while Oscars followed in the scenography and costume design categories.

The Oscar for Best Costume Design was given to John Cena who appeared on stage naked.

Emma Stone won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Poor Things. Already awarded for her role in the film "La La Land", the 35-year-old American actress this time embodied a carnivore who is brought back to life by an eccentric scientist by implanting the brain of an unborn fetus and begins to discover life from the beginning, without prejudices or prejudices . She beat out Lily Gladstone ("Killer Moonlight"), Sandra Bullock ("Anatomy of a Fall"), Carey Mulligan ("Maestro") and Annette Bening ("Nyad")

Divine Joy Randolph won the night's first award: the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of the grieving cook in the Christmas film "The Holdovers," directed by Alexander Payne. The performance of the 37-year-old African-American actress in the role of Mary Lam gave her the upper hand over heavier names: the award was also claimed by Jodie Foster ("Nyad"), America Ferrera ("Barbie"), Emily Blunt ("Oppenheimer"), and Danielle Brooks ("The Color Purple").

The Oscar for Best Actor went to Cillian Murphy for his portrayal of the father of the atomic bomb in Oppenheimer, which received rave reviews and was also a commercial success. The 47-year-old Irish actor, who plays in his paradoxically fragile way the physicist who overturned history, beat out Paul Giamatti ("Children of Winter"), Bradley Cooper ("Maestro"), Jeffrey Wright ("American Fiction") and Coleman Domingo ("Rustin").

This was the 5th statuette, while shortly after the 6th award was announced with Christopher Nolan winning that of Best Director.

The rather unpredictable, refined blockbuster, which broke the $53 billion barrier at the global box office, had already made the XNUMX-year-old British-American director an awards favourite. It beat out Martin Scorsese ("The Killers of the Blooming Moon"), Justin Trier ("Anatomy of a Fall"), George Lanthimos ("Poor Things") and Bradley Cooper ("Maestro").

Oppenheimer also took home the award for Best Picture, bringing its total to 7 on the night

Robert Downey Jr. won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for the film Oppenheimer, playing the role of the bureaucrat who becomes the main character's nemesis. His presence in Christopher Nolan's portrait of the father of the atomic bomb is decisive for the scientist's humiliation after World War II. It allowed Robert Downey Jr. to beat out other contenders for the award, Ryan Gosling ("Barbie"), Robert De Niro ("The Killers"), Mark Ruffalo ("Poor Things") and Sterling K. Brown (" American Fiction")..

Christopher Nolan's film also won the statuette for best editing, best cinematography and best soundtrack.

"American Fiction" won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Author Cord Jefferson took the stage to accept the award.

The Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film went to “War is Over! Inspired by the music of John & Yoko.

The film "The Boy and the Heron", the latest work of Japanese manga master Hayao Miyazaki, won the Academy Award for best animated film. The fantasy film, possibly the last of the 83-year-old creator, made a surprise, beating the favorite, which was the film "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse". The other three films vying for the statuette were 'Nimona', 'Elemental' (Pixar studios) and 'Robot dreams'.

Oscar for the best visual effects went to "Godzilla Minus One", i.e. her 37th film with the famous monster, which was nominated for an award for the first time in the 70-year history of the franchise.

The British film "The Zone of Interest" (directed by Jonathan Glazer) received Oscars for best foreign film and best sound: it is a surreal chronicle of the carefree life of a Nazi family in a villa next to the Auschwitz concentration camp.

The film touches on the horrors of the Holocaust, which lie on the other side of the family garden fence, but never appear. This narrative of the banality of evil beat out the other competing films, 'Io Capitano' (Italy), 'Perfect Days' (Japan), 'In the Professor's Office' (Germany) and 'Society of the Snow' (Spain). .The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, directed by Wes Anderson, won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. This was Anderson's first Oscar after eight nominations. He was not at the Dolby Theater to accept the award.
