Oppenheimer dominated the 2024 Oscars Sunday night, nabbing eight wins, including the awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.

Christopher Nolan, who directed Oppenheimer, Robert Downey Jr. and Cillian Murphy all won their first Oscars for their work on the film. Emma Stone won Best Actress for her role in Poor Things. She was in a tight race with Lily Gladstone, who starred in Killers of the Flower Moon. She would have been the first Native American to win a competitive Oscar. DaVine Joy Randolph continued her winning streak in her win for Best Supporting Actress, for her role in The Holdovers.

The ceremony brought back an old format to present some of the awards: past winners of the acting categories introduced the nominees and then announced the winner together. The Oscars last used the format in 2009.

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the ceremony for the fourth time and even drew the ire of former President Donald Trump , who wrote, Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars? on his social media platform Truth Social . His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and can never be.

Kimmel read the message onstage and replied with a quip: Isnt it past your jail time?

HuffPost reporters and editors chatted about the ceremony. Read below to catch up on what you might have missed.

Erin

Yes, that was a weird way to announce that win. Begging folks to not be weird about announcing the Best Picture win (still recovering from the Moonlight debacle in 2017). But hey, Oppenheimer YAY!

Also: Did Killers of the Flower Moon win anything tonight? What a massively discussed movie filled with a lot of major stars and backed by a major director, going home empty. Same for Maestro. I have nothing else to add there, but I thought that was interesting. Candice

Al Pacino gonna Al Pacino, I guess.

I just screamed! Im surprised and happy! I thought Emma Stone was really incredible in Poor Things. I also felt so satisfied with the end of the film. I just knew Lily Gladstone who I thought was great in Killers of the Flower Moon was going to win. I cant even think. Wow. Wow. Erin

My stream is behind, so I found out this news through everyone going WHOA. Marina

I was over here prewriting my little live blog about my complicated feelings around Lily Gladstone winning and then she doesnt even win. Its fine. I hope that means white people watch her in films that show off her talent even more. Okay, with that said, Emma Stone is fabulous in Poor Things and Im happy for her. But I also feel like Sandra Hller was equally deserving here. Anyway, happy to see things shaken up a bit at the 11th hour, no less! Candice

Same, I had a whole spiel ready to go. Emma Stone seems as stunned as we all are.
I can only hope people will check out Gladstones body of work, including her breakout role in Certain Women in 2016, and Fancy Dance, which finally got distribution from Apple a whole year after it premiered at Sundance.

Its hard to deny the technical precision and level of difficulty in Stones performance, so Im happy for her, while also bummed for Gladstone. This was such a competitive category this year. I mean, weve all discussed how brilliant Sandra Hller is in Anatomy of a Fall. And many deserving women didnt even get nominated (ahem, Greta Lee, for one).

Oppenheimer Wins Oscar For Best Picture

Im sorry was the announcement that Oppenheimer won best picture kind of weird for anyone else? I was still in a haze after that Emma Stone win for Best Actress that I cant tell if I just blanked out or what. I will say that I have never been so glad for the last award to be announced at the Oscars. Im TIRED of talking about these films lol. Erin

Yes, that was a weird way to announce that win. Begging folks to not be weird about announcing the Best Picture win (still recovering from the Moonlight debacle in 2017). But hey, Oppenheimer YAY!

Also: Did Killers of the Flower Moon win anything tonight? What a massively discussed movie filled with a lot of major stars and backed by a major director, going home empty. Same for Maestro. I have nothing else to add there, but I thought that was interesting. Candice

Al Pacino gonna Al Pacino, I guess.

Whew, Im still kind of in a daze. Marina
