Everything you need to know about the Oscars 2024

It's been a year full of surprises for cinema. From the phenomenon Barbenheimer, which forever disrupted the rules of film marketing, to the absurdities that left audiences puzzled in Poor Creatures! and Saltburn, there have been numerous projects worthy of recognition. To discover which title will be awarded most by Hollywood, we'll have to wait until this weekend when the Oscar night on March 10th will crown the winners of 2024. For Emma Stone, the evening could mark a new record: having won a statuette in 2017 as lead actress in La La Land, if she were to be awarded for her performance in Poor Creatures!, she could join the select group of individuals who have won an Oscar by the age of 35. Many are predicting a victory for Lily Gladstone in the category, thanks to her essential role in Scorsese's film, Killers of the Flower Moon, a recognition that would make her the first Native American to receive an award for Best Leading Actress at the Oscars.

Both Barbie and Oppenheimer reached the same level of fame last summer, at the box office and on social media, but only Christopher Nolan's project managed to enter the nominations for Best Director. Oppenheimer boasts a whopping thirteen nominations this year, followed by Poor Creatures! with eleven, and Barbie with eight. In case of a win for the lead actor, Cillian Murphy, he would be the first Irish actor to receive this kind of recognition. Despite the film with the most nominations focusing on events surrounding the 1945 atomic bomb, this year's Oscars have been rather romantic, with four couples nominated for a statuette: Justine Triet, vying for Best Director with Anatomy of a Fall, could win the award for Best Screenplay alongside her husband Arthur Harari; Christopher Nolan is in the running for production alongside his wife Emma Thomas; Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach are among the five vying for Best Screenplay, and finally Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley would share the Oscar as producers.

A nostalgic throwback to the memes about Leonardo DiCaprio's continuous nominations without victory, this edition could add a twelfth unsuccessful nomination for Bradley Cooper, star of Maestro who could become the fifth creative with the most "losses" in the history of the event. On the other hand, the Academy Awards could set a new record with the nomination of Martin Scorsese's direction, the tenth in his long career which, if he wins, would make him the oldest recipient of an Oscar ever.
