This award season was quite eventful: Bradley Cooper spent six years teaching for a six-minute sequence that attracted attention; Ayo Edebiri overshadowed Cillian Murphy as Ireland’s Sweetheart; and Barbie snubs were the talk of the ghost offices at the Wing.
All the pandering, excitement, and anger of the past cinematic year culminates with the 2024 Academy Awards on March 10. The event celebrates accomplishments in the film industry, focusing on Oppenheimer with 13 nominations and Poor Things with 11 nods. The Oppenheimer won seven trophies, including Best Picture and Best Director. Emma Stone from Poor Things won Best Actress, preventing Killers of the Flower Moon from winning after ten nominations. Billie Eilish received her second Oscar for her song in Barbie, achieving a historic moment with Cillian Murphy, who became the first Irish-born winner for Best Actor.
