The 2024 Oscars were a huge night for “Oppenheimer,” a movie that tells a big, important story. The movie Oppenheimer had a very successful night at the 2024 Academy Awards, winning a whopping seven Oscars! It tied the record for the most Oscars ever won by a Universal Studios film.
This includes the very best awards like best movie and best director. Actors Robert Downey Jr. and Cillian Murphy also won big for their parts in the movie. The movie also got awards for its camera work, editing, and music.
| Movie | Nominations | Wins |
|---|---|---|
| Barbie | 8 | 1 |
| Oppenheimer | – | 7 |
On the other side, the “Barbie” movie, which many people were excited about, didn’t win as much. It was nominated for eight Oscars but only won one award for Best Original Song. The song, “What Was I Made For,” was made by Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell.
Even though the “Barbie” movie spent a lot of money making everything look amazing, it didn’t win the Oscar for Best Production Design. Instead, the movie “Poor Things” won that award.
For production designer Sarah Greenwood and set decorator Katie Spencer, who collectively boast six Oscar nominations, the creation of Barbie Land was a venture into uncharted territory. Yet, the script by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, with its contrasting depictions of Barbie Land and L.A., provided valuable guidance.”
So, while “Barbie” fans might be a bit disappointed, “Oppenheimer” fans have a lot to celebrate from the 96th Academy Awards in 2024.
