Most of the awards that were given out on the stage of the Dolby Theatre at Sunday night’s Academy Awards were predictable. But that doesn’t mean they were bad or unimaginative choices, because the 96th Academy Awards managed to stick to the script but also do a pretty good job of summing up a stormy year in Hollywood but a very good year for movies.
“Oppenheimer” was the big winner, of course, just as everybody thought it would be. But Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” snuck in and won a trio of tech awards and then a big Best Actress Oscar for Emma Stone that denied Lily Gladstone and left “Killers of the Flower Moon” with 10 nominations and zero wins.
