The suspense is over! The Oscar 2024 winners have been revealed, and the Dolby Theatre sparkled with the afterglow of Hollywood’s biggest night on Sunday, March 10th. Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and broadcast on ABC, the 96th Academy Awards ceremony was a whirlwind of celebration for all things cinema. Sparkling red carpet entrances and tear-filled acceptance speeches filled the night, reminding us of the power of movies.
While Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic “Oppenheimer” took home the most awards, there were plenty of surprises, upsets, and unforgettable moments throughout the show. So, whether you’re a movie lover who can’t miss a single award show, or just enjoy the annual spectacle, get ready to relive the magic of the 2024 Oscars!

The final claps quieted down, and the shiny gold statues are finally resting in their new homes. Last night’s Academy Awards was a night to remember, filled with happy celebrations, emotional speeches, and stunning outfits! But before we jump right into the winners and nominees, let’s take a step back and appreciate all the amazing movies and acting that wowed audiences this year.
The acting awards were like a thrilling competition! We saw veteran actors we all know and love, like the super-serious Daniel Day-Lewis and the hilarious Meryl Streep, give incredible performances. But they weren’t the only ones shining. New stars like Timothée Chalamet, who blew everyone away in “Dune,” and the talented Florence Pugh, who showed amazing depth of emotion in “The Wonder,” stole the show too.
More About The Academy Awards 2024
History lovers were treated to amazing movies set in different times. We learned about a scandalous British socialite in the biopic “Poor Things,” and then got a thought-provoking look at the creation of the atomic bomb in “Oppenheimer.” Animation brought a touch of magic with the beautiful coming-of-age story “The Boy and the Heron.”
Serious topics weren’t left out either, with movies like “The Color Purple” tackling issues of race and gender. And for those who like a little twist, genre-bending films like the sci-fi thriller “Anatomy of a Fall” proved that storytelling can take all kinds of shapes. This year’s awards showed us just how creative and exciting movies can be!
Now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Let’s take a look back at all the nominees and finally reveal who walked away with those amazing gold statues at the 2024 Academy Awards!

A Look at the Oscars’ Evolution
The Oscars, formally known as the Academy Awards, have been a glittering fixture in Hollywood for over nine decades. Their journey began in 1927, when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was founded. While awards ceremonies were considered, it wasn’t until 1929 that the first official Academy Awards were presented at a banquet with a mere 15 statuettes.
The early years saw the ceremony bounce around different venues, and the iconic golden statuette, nicknamed Oscar (though the origins of the name remain a delightful Hollywood mystery!), wasn’t always made of metal. During World War II, for example, shortages forced the use of painted plaster!
Television entered the picture in 1953, bringing the Oscars into living rooms across the nation. Since then, the ceremony has grown and evolved, adding categories, changing broadcast networks, and becoming a global phenomenon. From the red carpet fashion to the emotional acceptance speeches, the Oscars continue to celebrate the magic of cinema and the talented individuals who bring it to life.
