2024 Oscars: Where to watch, time and everything else you need to know
‘Oppenheimer’ is the most nominated film at the ceremony, and its main stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. could take home a statue
The 2024 Oscars come after a complicated moment in the American film industry. From July to November last year, actors and production staff stopped working because of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike which lasted more than four months, bringing an era of confusion and uncertainty to Hollywood. After negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), both parties reached an agreement and since then, the industry resumed business as usual, with the awards season coming in to recognize the best films of last year, culminating with the 96th Academy Awards. Here’s all you need to know about the ceremony.

Who’s hosting the Oscars?
Jimmy Kimmel will host for the second consecutive year, and fourth overall. He recently talked to The Hollywood Reporter about his opening remarks. “I’m not interested in hurting anyone’s feelings, but sometimes some people are more sensitive than others and you just have to accept that. You can’t build your monologue around that. And I’m not looking to say anything mean, but not everybody’s going to love all the jokes.”

It has also been confirmed that Academy Award Nominee Ryan Gosling will perform the other hit from Barbie, I’m Just Ken, which will be one of the most anticipated moments of the night.
What’s nominated for Best Picture at the 2023 Oscars?
The 10 films nominated for Best Picture are American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Oppenheimer, Past Lives, Poor Things and The Zone of Interest. All of the films are already available on streaming.
Who are the favorites?
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is the most nominated film, with 13 nods, and is the big favorite to win several of the night’s awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and several of the technical awards, as it has done on other ceremonies of the awards season.
Robert Downey Jr. is the front-runner to get the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer, while Da’Vine Joy Randolph could be set to receive the award for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers. Although Cillian Murphy is the favorite to win Best Actor, Paul Giamatti has also received several awards for his role in The Holdovers.
The winner for Best Actress could be the most unpredictable, as Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone have won several awards this season and there doesn’t seem to be a single favorite. Stone received an Academy Award for her work in Damien Chazelle’s La La Land in 2017 and has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress twice. This is Gladstone’s first nomination and if she wins it would be a historic moment as she would be the first actress of Native heritage to win the award.
