Oppenheimer triumphed at the 96th Academy Awards winning seven of the 13 Oscars it was nominated for. It won Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr. The film also won Best Original Score and several technical awards. There was heartbreak for Killers Of The Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone who didn't become the first indigenous Best Actress in Oscar history; instead, the award went to Emma Stone for Poor Things which also scored three other Oscars. Da'Vine Joy Randolph was named Best Supporting Actress for The Holdovers, completing her clean sweep of this awards season.
Anatomy Of A Fall and American Fiction won Best Original and Best Adapted Screenplay respectively. Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell won Best Original Song for What Was I Made For? from Barbie - this was the film's only win of the eight Oscars it was nominated for.
Indian audiences were thrilled to first see RRR featured in a reel celebrating stunt performers and then art director Nitin Chandrakant Desai honoured in the In tributes segment Memoriam.
India's official entry, Malayalam film 2018: Everyone Is A Hero, exited the nomination race at the shortlist stage. To Kill A Tiger, set in India, competed for Best Documentary Feature, which was won by 20 Days In Mariupol.
The Oscar nominations this year made headlines for three notable omissions - snubs were delivered to Barbie director and lead star Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, and Killers Of The Flower Moon actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Oscars were hosted by Jimmy Kimmel for the fourth time. Highlights of the ceremony included a nearly-naked John Cena hilariously presenting the Oscar for Best Costume Design, Ryan Gosling's crowd favourite rendition of I'm Just Ken with a little help from his Barbie co-stars and rockstar Slash, and Robert Downey Jr's laugh riot acceptance speech in which he referred to wife Susan Levin as his "veterinarian."
