Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” blazed a trail at the 2024 Oscars, with seven total wins. No film swept the ceremony, and very few had multiple wins except for “Poor Things” with four and “The Zone of Interest” with two. Of the Best Picture nominees, only “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” and “Past Lives” received no wins. Jimmy Kimmel returned as host for the fourth go-round in a generally pleasant, festive night.
With its Best Picture win, “Oppenheimer” is the highest-grossing Best Picture winner since “Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” swept the Oscars 20 years ago.
In the night’s biggest upset (despite the very 50/50 lead-up possibilities going in), Emma Stone won the Best Actress Oscar over the favored Lily Gladstone in “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
