The 96th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), took place on March 10, 2024, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. During the gala, the AMPAS presented Academy Awards (commonly referred to as Oscars) in 23 categories honoring films released in 2023. The ceremony, televised in the United States by ABC, was produced by Raj Kapoor, Katy Mullan, and Molly McNearney and was directed by Hamish Hamilton. Comedian Jimmy Kimmel hosted the show for the fourth time. He first presided over the 89th ceremony held in 2017, and had most recently hosted the previous year's ceremony.
In related events, the Academy held its 14th Governors Awards ceremony at the Ray Dolby Ballroom of the Ovation Hollywood complex in Hollywood, on January 9, 2024.[6] The Academy Scientific and Technical Awards were presented by host Natasha Lyonne on February 27, 2024, in a ceremony at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.[7]
Oppenheimer won seven awards, including Best Picture.[8] Other winners included Poor Things with four awards, The Zone of Interest with two, and American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Boy and the Heron, Godzilla Minus One, The Holdovers, The Last Repair Shop, 20 Days in Mariupol, War Is Over!, and The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar with one. The telecast drew 19.5 million viewers in the United States.
Winners and nominees[edit]
The nominees for the 96th Academy Awards were announced on January 23, 2024, at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, by actors Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid.[9] Oppenheimer led all nominees with thirteen nominations; Poor Things came in second with eleven.[10] The winners were announced during the awards ceremony on March 10. At age 81, Martin Scorsese became the oldest Best Director nominee in Oscar history. Best Actress nominee Lily Gladstone was the first US-born Native American person nominated in that category.[11] The 49-year gap between Robert DeNiro's first nomination for The Godfather Part II and his latest for Killers of the Flower Moon set the record for longest gap between first and most recent career Oscar nominations.[12] Having previously won for composing the titular song in 2021's No Time to Die, Best Original Song co-winner Billie Eilish became the youngest person to win two Oscars.[13] Best Sound winner The Zone of Interest and Best Visual Effects winner Godzilla Minus One were the first non-English language films to win their respective categories.[14]

Ceremony information[edit]
In October 2023, the Academy hired television producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan to oversee production of the 2024 ceremony. "Raj and Hamish have been incredible Oscars collaborators, and we are delighted to welcome them and Katy to lead the 96th Oscars," said AMPAS CEO Bill Kramer and AMPAS President Janet Yang in a press release justifying their selection of the producers. "Their deep love of cinema, fresh vision, and tremendous live television expertise is perfect for our reinvigorated show." In response, Kapoor and Mullan released a statement saying, "As a Canadian boy of South Asian descent and a girl from London who grew up watching the Oscars, dreaming of being part of it, this is a ‘pinch me’ moment!” said Kapoor and Mullan. “This has been an exceptional year for the movies, and it’s an absolute privilege to be leading the team celebrating the global film industry and the astounding talents that bring these cinematic stories to life. We’re dedicated to making it a remarkable celebration for all."[18] The following month, comedian and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was announced as host of the gala, and his wife Molly McNearney was hired to join Kapoor and Mullan as a co-producer.[19]
In an effort to increase ratings and viewership, the Academy and ABC announced that the ceremony would begin at 7:00 p.m. EDT / 4:00 p.m. PDT, which was an hour earlier compared to recent ceremonies.[20] Producers hoped that the earlier start time would result in winners in major categories being announced earlier in the evening and would therefore mitigate declining viewership on the East Coast.[21] As a result of the changes, the red carpet pre-show that preceded the main telecast was shortened to 30 minutes from its usual 90 minute runtime. An episode of the comedy series Abbott Elementary would then air immediately after the ceremony.[22]
Several others participated in the production of the ceremony and related events. Hamish Hamilton served as director of the telecast. Production designers Misty Buckley and Alana Billingsley designed a new stage for the show. According to Buckley and Billingsley, the stage was designed to "create a modern plaza that invites people in."[23] Additionally, the set utilized several columns that subtly changed images during several awards presentations such as typewriters for screenwriters for the screenplay categories and sketches of the Best Costume Design nominees for the aforementioned category.[24] Musician Rickey Minor was the musical director for the ceremony.[25] Comedian and journalist Amelia Dimoldenberg served as a social media and red carpet correspondent where she interviewed nominees at events including the Oscars nominees lunch and hosted videos showcasing behind the scenes preparations leading up the ceremony.[26] In addition, Dimoldenberg and internet personality Reece Feldman interviewed nominees and guests of the ceremony on platforms such as Facebook and TikTok.[27]
Best Picture nominees diversity rules[edit]
In September 2020, the Academy announced that starting with the 96th awards,
Critical reviews[edit]
Television critic Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "It was a long night, as it always is, but not the slog it often is. The scripted banter was better than usual, and when it failed, personality took up the slack." Regarding Kimmel's performance as host, he commented that he was "a reliable, relatable presence liable to stir no controversy in a venue that has a low tolerance for controversy. At the same time he's sharp enough not to be boring."[28] Alison Herman of Variety remarked that despite the lack of surprises amongst the winners, "The show delivered entertainment and emotion in spades, if not surprise." She also commended Gosling's performance of "I'm Just Ken" as a " s maximalist, infectiously goofy singalong was the ideal way to channel the feel-good energy of an Oscars where none of the bonhomie felt forced, as it often can."[29] The Hollywood Reporter columnist Daniel Fienberg lauded Kimmel as "A guy you can trust to do a monologue and then he’ll hold together the disparate components and fill dead air and generally keep the mood light." He also singled out the decision to have five previous winners presenting the nominees in each acting category as a highlight of the festivities and acclaimed the witty banter between co-presenters.[30]
Ratings and reception[edit]
The American telecast on ABC drew in an average of 19.5 million people over its length, which was a 4% increase from the previous year's ceremony.[31] The show also held steady in Nielsen ratings compared to the previous ceremony with 9.9% of households watching the ceremony.[32] However, it garnered a lower 18–49 demo rating with a 3.82 rating among viewers in that demographic.
