The Oscars are done for another year and Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy are newly minted Oscar winners for Oppenheimer! Overall, it was an expected and welcome result, with Oppenheimer also taking home Best Picture, while Poor Things star Emma Stone won a second Oscar, in a surprising, but well-earned result. Overall, it was the icing on the cake of a refreshingly entertaining edition of the Oscars – one of the best in years.
Right off the bat it was pretty amusing, Jimmy Kimmel made some pretty fun digs in his opening monologue, including some references to Robert Downey Jr’s checkered history (which he was happy to play along to) and Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s genetic perfection (he ain’t wrong). Plus, there was a close-up of Anatomy of a Fall’s breakout dog star, Messi (who showed up despite earlier giving the award show the high hat), and a pretty funny joke from Kimmel about Killers of the Flower Moon being so long that he had his mail forwarded to the theatre when he saw it. The funniest bit of the evening is no doubt Kimmel and John Cena’s parody of the infamous streaking episode for Best Costume. Meanwhile, in a crowd-pleasing moment, Robert Downey Jr., took how a much deserved Best Supporting Actor Win for Oppenheimer. The award was so well received, even Messi the dog applauded.
Another great moment was Arnold Schwarzengger and Danny DeVito coming out to remember being Batman enemies in Batman Returns, and Batman & Robin, only to be stared down by Michael Keaton, wearing a Bruce Wayne ascot. Good stuff! Interestingly, Wes Anderson won his first-ever Oscar for The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, but wasn’t on hand to accept his award. Then there was Ryan Gosling nailing “I’m Just Ken”, with a little help from his co-stars and Guns N’ Roses legend Slash.
Oppenheimer took home the most awards in total, with seven wins. Poor Things won four, Zone of Interest won two, while Maestro, Killers of the Flower Moon and Past Lives all left empty-handed.
