96th Oscars Awards Have Been Handed Out
The most spectacular show in the world of cinema was held for the 96th time this year. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented the Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
The red carpet of the ceremony, where Hollywood celebrities flocked, was colorful as always. The stars appeared on the red carpet one by one with their outfits prepared months in advance.
The Oscars, known as the most prestigious awards in the world of cinema, found their owners for the 96th time.
Oppenheimer left his mark on the Oscars. Nominated for 13 Oscars, Oppenheimer received 7 awards, including best picture. Cillian Murphy won the best actor Oscar for his role in the movie. The best director award went to Christopher Nolan. The best actress Oscar went to Emma Stone for her role in Poor Things.
“Thank you for my miserable childhood”
Jimmy Kimmel was the main host of the awards night and the person who left his mark on the night was Robert Downey Jr. who embraced the award this time, which he missed twice in his long career.
The 58-year-old actor won the best supporting actor award for his performance in Oppenheimer.
Robert Downey Jr. was previously nominated for the same award in 1993 for Chaplin and in 2009 for Tropic Thunder, but failed to win.
Robert Downey Jr had the chance to take home the statuette this time with Oppenheimer. In his acceptance speech, the veteran actor said “Thank you to my terrible childhood” and sent a nod to his bumpy life.
The only prize for Barbie
Barbie, one of the most ambitious and most watched movies of the year, left the night with only one award.
Poor Things, on the other hand, made a surprise by winning best actress, best costume design, best hair and costume design and best production design awards.
Hollywood stars such as Ramy Youssef, Mark Ruffalo and Billie Eilish wore red pins symbolizing the call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
