'Oppenheimer' dominates at the 2024 Oscars

"American Fiction" has won the Academy Award for best adapted screenplay.

Writer and director Cord Jefferson took the stage to accept the award.

He called for more filmmakers to be given opportunities to make movies because "the next Martin Scorsese is out there, the next Greta is out there."

"They just want a shot and we can give them one," he said.

"American Fiction" is a satire adapted from Percival Everett’s book “Erasure,” that follows a frustrated author whose joke book riffing on Black stereotypes suddenly finds success – and thrusts him into a world full of insanity and hypocrisy.

“Anatomy of a Fall” has won the Oscar for best original screenplay.

The screenplay was written by Justine Triet and Arthur Harari (her real-life partner) and stars Sandra Hüller. The film is a French courtroom drama about a woman accused of killing her husband.

Triet thanked the cast while accepting the Oscar.

More about the film: Triet’s knotty screenplay is as much the trial of a marriage as the prosecution of a crime. Hüller’s character Sandra Voyter is a successful German novelist whose French husband Samuel, rightly or wrongly, believes he is living in her shadow. One day he’s found dead in the snow beneath the balcony of their Alpine chalet by their son Daniel, who is blind.

An inconclusive autopsy results in a trial, where a lack of evidence from the alleged crime scene creates a void prosecutors fill by dissecting their marriage in search of motive.

Margot Robbie has worn nonstop “Barbie”-inspired looks for the past year, and she might be over it.

At least, that seemed to be the case as she hit the Oscars red carpet in a strapless black Versace gown with ruching at the waist. The simple but striking silhouette would probably not be found in Barbie’s Dream Closet, though it still had a connection to her castmates and creative team.

The material seemed to be a twin to America Ferrera’s hot pink chainmail look (also from Versace), and closely resembled the armor-like metallic gown that director Greta Gerwig wore as well.

Although Da'Vine Joy Randolph wasn't wearing a mic, Jimmy Kimmel called on her after the commercial break to name her publicist, who she thanked in her speech for always having her back, but forgot to name.

Randolph was happy to oblige, looking straight into the camera and thanking her.

Kimmel, a Howard Stern super-fan and best friend, also gave his first Stern Show shoutout of the night, telling Randolph "Bababooey" over her speech. Bababooey is a popular term used on the show as a nickname for executive producer Gary Dell'Abate.

"The Boy and the Heron” has won the Academy Award for best animated feature film.

The movie earned just under $13 million in its opening weekend, the biggest ever opening in the United States and Canada for a film by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, which he co-founded, according to Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore.

The movie, a story of a child who travels to a mysterious realm after his mother dies, was released in theaters across the US in December.

The Oscar for the best animated short film was awarded tonight to “War is Over! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko.”

Da’Vine Joy Randolph has won the first award of the night: the Oscar for best actress in a supporting role.

Randolph won the honor for her role in the film "The Holdovers."

In “The Holdovers,” Randolph delivers a heartbreaking performance as Mary Lamb, a boarding school cook in 1970 who is grieving her recently deceased son who was fighting in the Vietnam War. 

Randolph costars with Paul Giamatti and Dominic Sessa in the acclaimed Alexander Payne-directed film about people “holding over” at their snowy New England school with nowhere else to go during the holidays.

Tonight's red carpet marked the beginning of what could well be another epic “method dressing” press tour — this time starring the cast of "Wicked." Cynthia Erivo wore a bewitching green custom leather Louis Vuitton gown with structured ruffle sleeves and train as a nod to her character Elphaba, while her co-star Ariana Grande wore a voluminous bubblegum pink gown by Giambattista Valli, perfect for the good witch Glinda.

We’ve seen the cast of "Dune: Part Two" go all out in recent weeks with their looks on the media circuit, with countless looks from Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Florence Pugh channelling the movie. (And though she may have showed up tonight dressed in black, the collection of classic Barbie doll-inspired looks put together by stylist Andrew Mukamal for Margot Robbie on the "Barbie" press tour were an always-apt embodiment of being pretty in pink.)

Jimmy Kimmel included Messi, the dog from "Anatomy of a Fall," in his Oscars monologue, and the camera panned to the animal as he sat next to his companion.

Kimmel praised Messi for his acting during a drug overdose scene in the French movie.
