'Oppenheimer' dominates at the 2024 Oscars

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.

Is the big night for "Oppenheimer" officially underway?

Christopher Nolan's epic on the father of the atomic bomb has won the Academy Award for best cinematography, marking its third win of the evening as it gained even wins with the Emma Stone-led "Poor Things."

More on the movie: Part of the buzzy cultural phenomenon known as “Barbenheimer” from last year, the film scored the most Oscar nominations this season with 13.

That includes acting nods for Cillian Muphy, Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr. (who just won his first Oscar), as well as three for Nolan — for directing, adapted screenplay and as a producer for best picture.

Working in IMAX, Nolan 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. 

“20 Days in Mariupol,” a film that documents Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has won the Academy Award for best documentary feature film.

He said this is the first Oscar won in Ukraine's history.

"I'm honored," Chernov said.

His words were met by emphatic applause from the crowd in the Dolby Theatre.

The Oscar for best documentary short film has gone to “The Last Repair Shop," directed by Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers.

"'The Last Repair Shop' is about the heroes in our schools who often go unsung, unthanked and unseen. Tonight you are sung, you are thanked and you are seen," Bowers said during his acceptance speech.

Bowers also paid homage to Los Angeles public schools, which he attended. He brought on stage with him a current violin pupil who appeared in the documentary.

The post was updated with details from the acceptance speech.

Guillermo Rodriguez threatened to toast everyone in the audience individually tonight as he sipped from a margarita.

The comic was sitting next to Coleman Domingo for the sequence in which he stood up to face the audience and thank his wife Charlize Theron (not his wife), who appeared shocked when he mentioned her.

"It Never Went Away” couldn’t be more personal for Jon Batiste.  

The celebrated New Orleans artist performed the song from “American Symphony,” the documentary that tells the story of him trying to write a symphony as his wife, author Suleika Jaouad, battled leukemia. 

Batiste brought his full self to the performance of a song which, with its poignant lyrics, very much feels like a love letter to their relationship. 

The piano intro alone is moving and the Grammy-winning artist made clear why the song was nominated. 

Fellow nominee Billie Eilish was shown clapping enthusiastically for Batiste.
