Oscars 2024 Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

Wes Anderson was first nominated for an Academy Award in 2022 in the Original Screenplay category for “The Royal Tenenbaums.” He’s earned seven nominations since. At the 96th Academy Awards, the celebrated American filmmaker in Paris won his first Oscar in a somewhat unlikely category, Live Action Short.

There have been numerous times over the course of Cillian Murphy’s career when he could have easily earned his first Academy Award nomination. There was his transformative performance in “Breakfast on Pluto.” His harrowing turn in “28 Days Later.” Or even his acclaimed performance in “The Wind That Shakes the Barley.” But after 20 years into his feature film career, that moment finally arrived with longtime collaborator Christopher Nolan and “Oppenheimer.” And now, Murphy has caped that achievement by winning Best Actor at the 96th Academy Awards.

After so many snubs and just not close enough, Christopher Nolan is finally an Oscar winner. The American-British filmmaker had earned eight nominations before the night began.

Before the 96th Academy Awards 14 women had won the Best Actress Oscar more than once. That list has now expanded by one after Emma Stone won her second trophy in the category for Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.” She previously won in 2017 for “La La Land.” READ MORE: Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos are ready for you to experience the fantastical world of “Poor Things” [Interview] As Bella Baxter, Stone portrays a young woman coming to terms with misogyny in a fantastical version of late 1800s Europe.

Don’t call it a career win because few would argue that Robert Downey, Jr. didn’t deliver one of his best performances ever as Lewis Strauss in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” That immense talent was rewarded with his first Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category at the 96th Academy Awards.

Onstage during the 96th Academy Awards, Gosling and Blunt – who both got nominated for “best supporting actor” for their respective roles as Ken in “Barbie,” and Katherine Oppenheimer in “Oppenheimer” – got into a faux “argument,” delightfully roasting each other over their rivalry.

The 96th Academy Awards are finally here. And after a strike-affected awards season, with little controversy (well, maybe), Jimmy Kimmel is ready to emcee a ceremony that promises a massive “I’m Just Ken” musical number and a lot of wins for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” In fact, one of the only big questions remaining for the night is in one of the few categories where the blockbuster didn’t earn a nomination: Best Actress.

If Christopher Nolan’s brilliant story of the father of the atomic bomb loses, it’ll be the biggest upset since the surprise victory of “Shakespeare in Love” over “Saving Private Ryan” in 1999. It’s won just about every other major award it’s been nominated for, and rightly so. “American Fiction”“Anatomy of a Fall”“Barbie”“The Holdovers”“Killers of the Flower Moon”“Maestro”“Past Lives”“Poor Things”“The Zone of Interest”The Battle of the Stones (Gladstone vs. Emma Stone) has raged all season long.

96th Academy Awards are just a few short days away and the night promises to be an epic evening filled with A-listers, fun, music, funny commentary and heartfelt speeches. The Emmys, the Golden Globes and the Grammys have all come and gone.

The 96th Academy Awards are almost here and another long, strange awards season is at an end. And while there was no public scandal for The Academy to deal with this time around (granted, they need to make it through the telecast alive), the 2020s continue to deliver one Oscars curveball after another.

As the Oscars draw closer, more and more category winners seem to be locking into place. One of those categories that took another step to being pretty much over is Adapted Screenplay.

Billie Eilish credits Christian Bale for helping her realize her boyfriend wasn’t meeting her superhero standards. In a new interview with “Chicken Shop Date” host Amelia Dimoldenberg, the 22-year-old “Bad Guy” singer and her brother and collaborator Finneas, 26, got on the topic of superheroes. Eilish admitted she doesn’t “know much” about the genre but claimed Bale in “The Dark Knight” is “the one” and her “favorite.” “I gotta be real,” she confessed, “A couple years ago, I had a dream about Christian Bale, and it was in a little cafe in the sunlight, and it made me realize I had to break up with my boyfriend at the time,” Eilish said as they all burst into laughter.

One of the big question marks for the 2024 Academy Awards was whether Ryan Gosling would perform “I’m Just Ken” in public for the first time. On Monday, it was reported that Gosling was in and today, the Academy made it official.

There are now multiple reasons to get excited about the upcoming Academy Awards. Sure, there will be genuine tension as the Best Actress winner is a true pick ’em between Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone.

The 76th Academy Awards are less than two weeks away and this morning AMPAS revealed the ceremony’s first round of celebrity presenters. In no surprise, and a longtime Oscars tradition, the four acting winners from 2023, Michelle Yeoh, Brendan Fraser, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ke Huy Quan are returning.

It looks like Ryan Gosling is going to be warming up his vocal chords over the next few weeks. The “La La Land” star has reportedly agreed to belt out the Best Original Song nominee “I’m Just Ken” during the 2024 Academy Awards telecast.

“Maestro” star and director got emotional on the show when asked about his film’s subject, the “West Side Story” composer Leonard Bernstein, by one of the late musician’s children.“Do you miss him?” daughter Nina Maria Felicia Bernstein asked the actor, who was sitting with Cooper and her siblings, Jamie and Alexander Bernstein, during a December episode of the news program.“Oh, yeah, man,” replied Cooper, 49, who was only 15 years old and attending high school in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, when Bernstein died in 1990. The actor never actually met the man.“What do you miss about him?” interviewer Mo Rocca then wondered.“It’s hard to talk about,” replied a teary Cooper. “I don’t know.

If staging the SAG Awards, the PGA Awards, and the Film Independent Spirit Awards within 48 hours of each other was meant to influence Oscar voting in any way and not just some coincidence (cough), well, it may have worked. And that’s a big emphasis on “may.” Delightfully, the three events also reminded us of just how chaotic the actual awards ceremonies can be.

After an eventful Spirit Awards, the industry’s attention shifted to Hollywood and the Ray Dolby Ballroom where the 2024 PGA Awards were handed out. The big winner, obviously, was Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” which took Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Poctures.
