An election-year Academy Awards got underway Sunday with protests for Gaza raging outside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
"Oppenheimer," a solemn three-hour biopic that became an unlikely billion-dollar box-office sensation, was crowned best picture at a 96th Academy Awards that doubled as a coronation for Christopher Nolan.
As a film heavy with unease for human capacity for mass destruction,"Oppenheimer" also emerged – even over its partner in cultural phenomenon,"Barbie" – as a fittingly foreboding film for times rife with cataclysm, man-made or not. Sunday's Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles unfolded against the backdrop of wars in Gaza and Ukraine, and with a potentially momentous U.S. election on the horizon.
But protest and politics intruded on an election-year Academy Awards, where demonstrations for Gaza raged outside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Late during the show, host Jimmy Kimmel read a critical social media post from former president Donald Trump.Nolan has had many movies in the Oscar mix before, including"Inception,""Dunkirk" and"The Dark Knight." But his win Sunday for direction is the first Academy Award for the 53-year-old filmmaker.
"Barbie," last year's biggest box-office hit with more than $1.4 billion in ticket sales, ultimately won just one award: best song for Billie Eilish and Finneas'"What Was I Made For?" It’s their second Oscar, two years after winning for their James Bond theme,"No Time to Die." The war in Gaza was on the minds of many attendees, as was the war in Ukraine. A year after"Navalny" won the same award, Mstyslav Chernov’s"20 Days in Mariupol," a harrowing chronicle of the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, won best documentary. The win, a first for The Associated Press and PBS'"Frontline," came as the war in Ukraine passed the two-year mark with no signs of abating.
Kimmel, hosting the ABC telecast for the fourth time, opened the awards with an monologue that emphasized Hollywood as “a union town” following 2023's actor and writer strikes, drew a standing ovation for bringing out teamsters and behind-the-scenes workers — who are now entering their own labor negotiations.
