The 96th Academy Awards unfolded at the Dolby Theatre where Hollywood's elite convened, and it was a ceremony that lived up to its dramatic reputation!

Jimmy Kimmel, returning for his fourth time as host of the Oscars, kept things light with jokes about everything from the "Barbenheimer" phenomenon (both "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie" being from the same director) to the ever-confusing streaming wars.

But let's get to the golden statues, baby!

The big winner of the night was Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," a biopic about the enigmatic scientist, which dominated with a whopping seven awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Emma Stone stole the hearts (and the award) for Best Actress with her captivating performance in "Poor Things," a daring adaptation of the sci-fi novel.

Now, no Oscars ceremony is complete without a little controversy.

This year, the social media storm brewed over the snub of Viola Davis for her powerhouse performance in "The Holdovers." Fans were vocal on X (formerlyTwitter) expressing their disappointment, sparking conversations about diversity and representation in Hollywood.

Another unexpected turn?

The documentary category. The harrowing and timely "20 Days in Mariupol," a firsthand account of the war in Ukraine, took home the award, leaving some to wonder if it was a political statement or a genuine recognition of powerful filmmaking.
