The nominees for the 86th annual Academy Awards have been revealed, with American Hustle, Her, 12 Years a Slave, and Gravity among several films with multiple nominations. The 2014 Oscar winners will be announced during the live show hosted by Ellen DeGeneres on March 2, 2014.

Although every Academy Awards brings with it its share of snubs and surprises, the nominees are fairly close to those seen in the recent Golden Globes. The format of the Golden Globes is different, of course, with twice the nominations in many categories thanks to the multiple film category – namely the “Comedy or Musical” and “Drama” categories. Regardless, you’ll find many of the same names.

2024 Oscar winners: Oppenheimer wins 7 awards, including Best Picture
A man looks away in Oppenheimer.

There weren't a lot of surprise winners or upsets at the 2024 Oscars, but that doesn't mean it wasn't an entertaining show. As expected, Oppenheimer was the big winner at the 96th Academy Awards, with Christopher Nolan scoring his first wins for Best Picture and Best Director. Out of 11 nominations, Oppenheimer took home seven Oscars, including Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr., and the awards for original score, cinematography, and film editing.

Best Actress went to Emma Stone for her role in Poor Things, a film that also won best costume design, production design, and makeup and hairstyling. The Holdovers' Da’Vine Joy Randolph was named Best Supporting Actress in the first award that was given during the ceremony.

2024 Oscar predictions: Who will win Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and more?
Two men talk in Oppenheimer.

The biggest pop culture event of the year is upon us. The 2024 Oscars ceremony is this weekend, and everyone is asking one question: Who is going to win? An endless parade of precursor awards like the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards, and the SAG Awards, have given some clues to potential victors, but no one really knows for sure who is going to win Best Picture, Best Actress, and the other 21 categories.

Will the two movies that made up last summer's Barbenheimer phenomenon, Oppenheimer and Barbie, emerge triumphant? Or will underdogs like The Holdovers or Poor Things impress enough voters to secure surprise wins? Digital Trends will look into a crystal ball and give our best guess as to who will win, who will go home empty-handed, and who might pull off an upset.

The best films of 2023 will be honored at the 2024 Oscars. Also known as the 96th Academy Awards, the 2024 Oscars will feature some of the biggest and brightest stars Hollywood has to offer, including Margot Robbie, Robert Downey Jr., Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Lily Gladstone, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and more. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will award Oscars in 23 categories, with the top prize being Best Picture. Jimmy Kimmel returns to host for the fourth time.

Oppenheimer leads the field with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things with 11, Killers of the Flower Moon with 10, and Barbie with eight. Can Oppenheimer complete its dominant awards season run with a Best Picture prize, or can The Zone of Interest or Poor Things pull off the improbable upset?
What channel is the Oscars on?
The 2024 Oscars will air on ABC starting at a new time of 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Sunday, March 10. This is a significant change from the regular 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT start time. However, ABC has decided to start the Oscars at 7 p.m. ET so it can air a new episode of Abbott Elementary upon the ceremony's completion at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT. This strategy is similar to how the network airing the Super Bowl airs an episode of television following the Big Game.
