'Oppenheimer' dominates at the 2024 Oscars

Cillian Murphy has won the Academy Award for best actor in a leading role for his part in "Oppenheimer."

The native of Cork City dedicated the win to what he called "the peacemakers everywhere," and thanked his fellow cast and crew members on the movie. He wrapped up with "Gura míle maith agaibh" — Gaelic for "a thousand thanks to you all."

Murphy portrayed the eponymous J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of the atomic bomb, in Christopher Nolan’s epic “Oppenheimer.” This was his first Academy Award nomination, and now his first win. 

Director Nolan and Murphy have enjoyed an illustrious and longstanding collaboration, beginning with the actor’s chilling portrayal of the villain Scarecrow in Nolan’s “Batman Begins” in 2005. Murphy also appeared in the director’s sci-fi mindbender “Inception” in 2010, as well as the 2017 war epic “Dunkirk.” 

Every year the Academy pays tribute to those we have lost, and every year it's a gut punch.

This year the show bid farewell to everyone from Andre Braugher to composer (and Spike Lee's father) Bill Lee, "Friends" star Matthew Perry, Tina Turner and legendary actress Glenda Jackson, as well as a host of others.

Names and photos appeared on screen as dancers performed to Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo who sang "Time to Say Goodbye."

It was a moment.

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell have won the Oscar for best original song in the movie “Barbie."

Eilish and Finneas thanked an array of people, from "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig to their parents and Eilish's childhood friend, whom she says she played dolls with growing up.

Eilish had said her award-winning song was more personal than she thought it would be. She wrote most of the song, a haunting track that speaks to finding meaning and purpose, with Finneas in one night, she said in an appearance on The Hollywood Reporter’s Songwriter Roundtable. 

This post has been updated with details from the acceptance speech and background on the song.

“Oppenheimer” has taken home the Academy Award for best original score.

Composer Ludwig Göransson thanked director Christopher Nolan for his idea of using a violin in the score, because it allowed him to collaborate with his wife, who is an acclaimed violinist.

More on the film: As the name suggests, Nolan took on the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientific genius and conflicted godfather of the atomic bomb.

Working in IMAX, the director conjures an overwhelming, altogether haunting retelling of the story of the bomb’s creation and its fallout across three taut hours that push the limits of the medium itself. Nolan’s screenplay – written, unusually, in the first person – drew from the definitive biography “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin.

All it took was Ryan Gosling to pop up in the seat behind Margot Robbie singing the opening line of "I'm Just Ken" from "Barbie" to make her burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Wearing a hot pink glitter suit with sunglasses, Gosling started the song in Robbie's ear, as she broke into giggles.

Both "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig and the movie's "Weird Barbie," Kate McKinnon, enthusiastically cheered on the performance while Carrie Mulligan gave a standing ovation.

Ryan Gosling, what a doll! 

The actor’s performance of “I'm Just Ken” from the film “Barbie” at the Oscars couldn’t have been more eagerly awaited, and he delivered. 

Donning a sparkly pink suit, he began his performance in the audience wearing a cowboy hat, before hitting the stage with a ton of backup dancers.

It was a full-on performance, and legendary musician Slash even showed up on guitar.

“Barbie,” you’ll recall, was a box office hit last year and snagged Gosling a best supporting actor nod for his role as Ken. 

He also became a breakout music star thanks to the playful single, which hit the charts after it was released. 

The song was nominated for an Oscar for best original song, and Gosling was joined for the performance by co-composer Mark Ronson. 

It faces competition from another member of the “Barbie” family — Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For,” also from the “Barbie” soundtrack, is nominated as well. 

"The Zone of Interest" has won the Oscar for best sound.

It's a fitting accolade: The movie was critically lauded for conveying the horrors of the Holocaust primarily through what the audience hears.

"Flamin’ Hot" didn't just describe the movie about spicy cheetos.

Becky G performed "The Fire Inside” from the film's soundtrack and it was brief, but caliente.

Funny story, producer Eva Longoria is responsible for getting famed songwriter Dianna Warren to write the lyrics for the song after sharing an elevator with her.

“The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,” directed by Wes Anderson, has won the Academy Award for best live action short film.

This was the first Oscar for Anderson after eight nominations. He was not at the Dolby Theater to accept the award.
