As I state every year this is my favourite photo to see of all four acting winners together, I mean this year it seems that Robert Downey Jr has made sure we have so many slightly different versions. (Yes I am therefore going to share more than one)

Here are the winners at the 96th Academy Awards:

Best Picture
Oppenheimer
Emma Thomas, Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan, Producers
Best actress in a supporting role nominee for The Holdovers

Best actor nominee for The Holdovers, Paul Giamatti.

Best Actor in a Leading Role has been more of a top two with Cillian Murphy and Paul Giamatti going head to head at times and it being more between them that the others. It is a pretty strong category, but I personally think we could have seen some other performances nominated ahead of at least one of these.





Best Actress in a Supporting Role is such an incredible cateogry this year and I cannot help but feel sorry for the other four with Da’Vine Joy Randolph sweeping across all the awards ceremonies, I mean don’t get me wrong she is outstanding in The Holdovers, but all of the other performances are so good as well!





The 2024 Best Picture on the whole are pretty good, usually I find that a film I utterly hated gets nominated and that is not the case this year. One film in the list I feel doesn’t belong, but more for quality rather than having anything I hated about it. Which means in my opinion it is a strong year with the films, also including my favoruite film of 2023 as well, which I guess is always a bonus.
