The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of the United States just held the 2024 Academy Awards ceremony at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, where the most prestigious awards in the world of cinema are presented. There were no surprises and Oppenheimer became the big winner.

The gala evening, the 96th Academy Awards, was like that boring, long and conventional as usual with a closed script that leaves little room for any improvisation and which was carefully monitored by the master of ceremonies, the moderator late at nightJimmy Kimmel, who was a recurring host.

Musical performances are spared boredom which strangely come from one of the big losers of the gala, Barbie. Billie Eilish performed ‘Why Was I Created?’ for which he ended up winning Best Song, as did Ryan Gosling and his ‘I’m Just Ken’, without complaining that the rosy film and its director were not among the nominees.

Usual Post mortemwhere tributes are paid to those who have died in connection with the film spectacle, was perhaps the most exciting moment of the evening and hearing Andrea Bocelli and his son perform ‘Con Te Partiro’ your hair stands on end.

And little else besides a few anecdotes. Some remarkable woman with an oversized heel who got lost on the red carpet, or Emma Stone who went to collect an award with a ripped dress. Although with the clothes or rather the lack of them, we have to highlight John Cena (former WWC wrestler) when He went on stage (almost) in a rush present the prize for the best costume. It was a tribute to 1970s cinema, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the moment in history when a spontaneous Robert Opel ran naked on stage while David Niven introduced Elizabeth Taylor. Without a doubt, this was and will be the most talked about moment of these Oscars 2024.

Oscar 2024: complete list of winners and nominees

At the mothball-smelling Corset Gala, its main focus remains to reward what Academy voting members say was the best of the past year on the big screen. And thereby support the general film industry.

There were no surprises and as Bafta and Golden Globes expected, Oppenheimer swept the seven major awards, including Best Picture of the Year. The vote of the Academy does not always coincide with the opinion of critics and the public, but it was so at these Oscars 2024 and the triumphs of the ‘Nolan bomb’, in my opinion, deservedly so.

Except, Christopher Nola wins his first Oscar as a director. And it was time to consider that he is one of the best of his generation with unforgettable films like Memento, the Batman trilogy (the best bat in history) or Interstellar. Cillian Murphy was also awarded for his role as the physicist Oppenheimer and (more competitively) the first also for Robert Downey Jr. as a supporting actor. The film completes its triumph with awards for editing, cinematography and soundtrack.

Apart from the bomb, a well-deserved Best Actress award (second Oscar) for being amazing Emma Stone for her role in Poor Creatureswhich also takes awards for production design, make-up and costumes.

Other highlights were the scripts for ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ and ‘American Fiction’, while Barbie had to settle for best song. Scorsese fared worse zero awards for ‘Son of the Moon’ and what to say about it terrible “Napoleon” by Ridley Scott, that even the great Joaquin Phoenix will not save from being burned as the worst (among major productions) of the year. If such a film is unable to win even production or costume design, imagine.

Our Bayonne and ‘The Snow Society’ were not so luckyalthough it lost out to a film like the Brits “Area of ​​interest” and the truth is that just being at the gala was a triumph. The same can be said for ‘Robot Dreams’, in an impossible mission to beat the legendary Hayao Miyazaki’s ‘The Boy and the Heron’ in animation. The best documentary, unfortunately for the world, went to “20 days in Mariupol”, whose main character is the war in Ukraine.
