Here Are the Winners of the 2024 Oscars (Including Our Nerdy Faves)

How will history remember the 2024 Oscars? Will it be defined by Oppenheimer‘s seven wins, including for Best Picture? What about Ryan Gosling’s amazing performance of “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie? John Cena’s naked body? Or will it be something we can’t possibly predict just yet? Only time will tell, but how the 96th Academy Awards is remembered won’t change who won. The night’s list of honorees includes some of our absolute favorite performers, movies, and even genres, all of whom will forever be known as Oscar winners. Here’s all of the 2024 Oscar winners, including the ones we were especially glad to see.

Iron Man Makes Oscars History for an Industry Institution – SNL

Robert Downey Jr.’s first-ever Oscar win wasn’t just the culmination of an incredible, unlikely career for the (iron) man who helped launch the MCU. It also marked the first-ever acting Oscar for a former Saturday Night Live cast member.

The Dark Knight‘s Director Finally Gets His Academy Award

The Dark Knight‘s Best Picture snub is still used as an example of how the Academy doesn’t always recognize genre films. But it at least stopped overlooking that film’s director. Christopher Nolan became one of the 2024 Oscar winners when took home Best Director for Oppenheimer. He then quickly followed it up with his second Oscar when the movie won Best Picture. He might be among one of Hollywood’s best directors, but both sci-fi and superhero fans know his win was long overdue.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph Caps Off Her Amazing Run

The Holdovers Da’Vine Joy Randolph won every award she could heading into the 2024 Oscars, where she capped off her amazing run as a winner. Her speech was beautiful, moving, and stood out among the night’s best.

A Star Wars Alum Wins Another Oscar

Oppenheimer‘s Ludwig Göransson took home his second career Oscar for Best Score. That meant the whole world once again got the chance to remember he gifted all of us The Mandalorian theme song.

That’s “Oscar Winner Godzilla Minus One” Thank You

Takashi Yamazaki, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi, and Tatsuji Nojima Visual Effects win was one of our favorites on the night. Godzilla Minus One was one of the franchise’s best installments ever. It’s also the exact type of film we’d expect the Academy to overlook for even a nomination. Instead the movie stomped its way to a well-deserved Oscars win.

And Another Oscar Goes to Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki’s Best Animated Feature win for The Boy And The Heron still seems impossible. Not because Miyazaki won his second Academy Award, but because he’d retired! We thought we’d never see another movie from the legendary filmmaker. Instead he gave us an Oscar-winning film.

The Academy Finally Calls Wes Anderson’s Name

Wes Anderson and Steven Rales’s took home the Best Live-Action Short Oscar for “The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar.” That earned Anderson his first-ever golden statue on his eighth try. He deserved (at least) one long ago, so it was nice to finally see him join the ranks of Oscar-winning filmmakers after all this time.
