The 96th Academy Awards were the ultimate celebration of 2023 films.
The biggest night in Hollywood is always one to remember, and we can guarantee everyone will be reminiscing on Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” performance and Messi’s (Anatomy of a Fall) clapping paws for a long time. It was an exciting evening of celebrating the best films from the past year. Overall, WIFF films earned 7 wins last night – 3 wins for films presented throughout the year with WIFF Presents and 4 wins for official selections of the Festival.
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was the biggest winner of the evening, heading home with 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture. Christopher Nolan, Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. were all awarded their first Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Actor and Actor in a Supporting Role, respectively. The film was also awarded in the Cinematography, Original Score and Film Editing categories.
Lanthimos fans were celebrating last night as his latest film, Poor Things, earned 4 Academy Awards including Costume Design, Makeup and Hairstyling and Production Design. In what was possibly the biggest surprise of the evening (including for the winner herself), Emma Stone won Best Actress for her portrayal of Bella Baxter.
