Presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Art and Sciences (AMPAS) in the United States, the 96th Academy Awards, also known as Oscars will be back on March 10, 2024. However, it was on January 23rd where the list of nominees dropped. Here’s everything you need to know : 


Barbie and Oppenheimer received a total of twenty one nominations 

The cultural phenomenon, “Barbenheimer” took the world by storm in Summer 2023. During this year’s Academy Awards, the two leading movies received a total of twenty one nominations (thirteen for Oppenheimer, eight for Barbie). This year, Oppenheimer was the most nominated movie – and later was the most awarded movie, with Poor Things and and Killers of The Flower Moon coming next. 


A-List Presenters

It was later announced that Jimmy Kimmel will be the host of this year’s Oscars, marking his second consecutive years hosting and also his fourth Academy Awards. However, the awards are presented by numerous A-list celebrities which includes : Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor Joy for Best Animated Short Movie and Best Animated Feature Film, John Cena for Best Costume Design, Bad Bunny and Dwayne Johnson for Best International Film, Zendaya for Best Cinematography, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo for Best Original Score and Best Original Song, Jennifer Lawrence and Michelle Yeoh are also among the presenter for Best Actress. 


The Performances

 It’s not Oscars without the exceptional performances present in the scene. To name a few, this year’s Oscars include a performance by Billie Eilish and Finneas of the song “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie – which then on Oscars night, Eilish became the youngest two-time Academy Awards winner through the song. Ryan Gosling also reprised his role as Ken and performed “I’m Just Ken.” 


Legendary singer Andrea Bocelli also performed his song “Time To Say Goodbye” in the In Memoriam segment of the show. The segment remembered some of the missing faces in Hollywood like Jane Birkin and Matthew Perry. 


It may seem like yesterday we just watched Michelle Yeoh win an Oscar for her performance in the movie Everything, Everywhere, All At Once – but the Oscars are back again this year, for the 96th time. It will be back in Los Angeles on March 10, and we will be here yet again to see the leading faces in the film industry.
