Best Actor: Cillian Murphy's Triumph

Cillian Murphy's portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer in the titular role earned him the coveted Best Actor award, cementing his status as one of the most talented and versatile actors of our time. Murphy's nuanced and powerful performance captured the complex emotions and moral dilemmas faced by the scientist who helped create the most destructive weapon in human history. This win marked the culmination of Murphy's successful run, following his triumphs at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Screen Actors Guild Awards earlier in the year.

Stone's performance in the offbeat and quirky "Poor Things" was a standout, showcasing her versatility and range as an actress.

Poor Things: Technical Triumphs

These wins highlighted the film's exceptional attention to detail and the artistry of its behind-the-scenes crew.

Barbie's Sole Win: Best Original Song

"Barbie," the other half of the "Barbenheimer" box office sensation, earned eight nominations but only managed to win one award for Best Original Song, "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell. The catchy and thought-provoking tune perfectly captured the essence of the film's exploration of identity and self-discovery.

International and Documentary Triumphs
