At the Oscars 2024, the highly anticipated film “Oppenheimer” emerged as the major victor of the evening, securing wins in several categories including Best Picture, Best Director, and two acting awards, among others, totaling seven wins. However, amidst these expected triumphs, the ceremony also witnessed surprises, both significant and subtle.
One of the notable surprises occurred in the Best Actress category, where the competition was fierce between Emma Stone for her role in “Poor Things” and Lily Gladstone for her performance in “Killers of the Flower Moon”. Ultimately, Emma Stone clinched the award, marking her second Oscar win. Despite the loss, Lily Gladstone showed immense happiness for her friend’s victory. However, it was a bittersweet moment for “Killers of the Flower Moon” director Martin Scorsese, as this marked the third instance where one of his films received ten Oscar nominations yet failed to secure any wins, adding a tough milestone to his illustrious career.
