During the gala, the AMPAS presented Academy Awards (commonly referred to as Oscars) in 23 categories honoring films released in 2023. The ceremony, televised in the United States by ABC, was produced by Raj Kapoor, Katy Mullan, and Molly McNearney and was directed by Hamish Hamilton. Comedian Jimmy Kimmel hosted the show for the fourth time. He first presided over the 89th ceremony held in 2017, and had most recently hosted the previous year's ceremony.

In related events, the Academy held its 14th Governors Awards ceremony at the Ray Dolby Ballroom of the Ovation Hollywood complex in Hollywood, on January 9, 2024.[5] The Academy Scientific and Technical Awards were presented by host Natasha Lyonne on February 27, 2024, in a ceremony at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.[6]

At age 81, Martin Scorsese became the oldest Best Director nominee in Oscar history. Best Actress nominee Lily Gladstone was the first US-born Native American person nominated in that category.[10] The 49-year gap between Robert DeNiro's first nomination for The Godfather Part II and his latest for Killers of the Flower Moon set the record for longest gap between first and most recent career Oscar nominations.[11] Having previously won for composing the titular song in 2021's No Time to Die, Best Original Song co-winner Billie Eilish became the youngest person to win two Oscars.[12] Best Sound winner The Zone of Interest and Best Visual Effects winner Godzilla Minus One were the first non-English language films to win their respective categories.[13]

Ceremony information

edit
 
Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 96th Academy Awards.

In October 2023, the Academy hired television producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan to oversee production of the 2024 ceremony. "Raj and Hamish have been incredible Oscars collaborators, and we are delighted to welcome them and Katy to lead the 96th Oscars," said AMPAS CEO Bill Kramer and AMPAS President Janet Yang in a press release justifying their selection of the producers. "Their deep love of cinema, fresh vision, and tremendous live television expertise is perfect for our reinvigorated show."[20] In response, Kapoor and Mullan released a statement saying, "As a Canadian boy of South Asian descent and a girl from London who grew up watching the Oscars, dreaming of being part of it, this is a ‘pinch me’ moment!” said Kapoor and Mullan. “This has been an exceptional year for the movies, and it’s an absolute privilege to be leading the team celebrating the global film industry and the astounding talents that bring these cinematic stories to life. We’re dedicated to making it a remarkable celebration for all."[21]

The following month, comedian and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was announced as host of the gala, and his wife Molly McNearney was hired to join Kapoor and Mullan as a co-producer.[22] Kapoor and Mullan explained their reason to bring back the veteran comedian and talk show host saying, "Jimmy has cemented himself as one of the all-time great Oscars hosts with his perfect blend of humanity and humor, and Molly is one of the best live TV producers around. We are delighted to be working with them and their teams on the show."[23]

In an effort to increase ratings and viewership, the Academy and ABC announced that the ceremony would begin at 7:00 p.m. EDT / 4:00 p.m. PDT, which was an hour earlier compared to recent ceremonies.[24] Producers hoped that the earlier start time would result in winners in major categories being announced earlier in the evening and would therefore mitigate declining viewership on the East Coast.[25] As a result of the changes, the red carpet pre-show that preceded the main telecast was shortened to 30 minutes from its usual 90 minute runtime. An episode of the comedy series Abbott Elementary would then air immediately after the ceremony.[26]

Several others participated in the production of the ceremony and related events. Hamish Hamilton served as director of the telecast. Production designers Misty Buckley and Alana Billingsley designed a new stage for the show. According to Buckley and Billingsley, the stage was designed to "create a modern plaza that invites people in."[27] Additionally, the set utilized several columns that subtly changed images during several awards presentations such as typewriters for screenwriters for the screenplay categories and sketches of the Best Costume Design nominees for the aforementioned category.[28] Musician Rickey Minor was the musical director for the ceremony.[29] Comedian and journalist Amelia Dimoldenberg served as a social media and red carpet correspondent where she interviewed nominees at events including the Oscars nominees lunch and hosted videos showcasing behind the scenes preparations leading up the ceremony.[30] In addition, Dimoldenberg and internet personality Reece Feldman interviewed nominees and guests of the ceremony on platforms such as Facebook and TikTok.[31] Choreographer Mandy Moore oversaw production of Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson's performance of "I'm Just Ken" which paid homage to the song "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" from the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.[32] The performance utilized 62 different actors portraying Ken, and featured cameos from Gosling's Barbie co-stars Kingsley Ben-Adir, Scott Evans, Ncuti Gatwa, and Simu Liu, and musicians Wolfgang Van Halen and Slash.[33]

Initially, the Governors Awards were scheduled to be held on November 18, 2023, but they were postponed by two months to January 9, 2024, due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes.[34] Meanwhile, actress Michelle Pfeiffer was planned to co-present Best Picture with her Scarface co-star Al Pacino. However, prior commitments on the East Coast prevented her from traveling in time for the ceremony, and Pacino presented the award solo.[35]

Best Picture nominee diversity rules

edit

In September 2020, the Academy announced that starting with the 96th awards, all films submitted for Best Picture consideration must satisfy an established set of "representation and inclusion standards".[36] In a press release, then-AMPAS president David Rubin and then-Academy CEO Dawn Hudson said of the new standards, "The aperture must widen to reflect our diverse global population in both the creation of motion pictures and in the audiences who connect with them. The Academy is committed to playing a vital role in helping make this a reality. We believe these inclusion standards will be a catalyst for long-lasting, essential change in our industry."[37]

According to the rules, each film would be required to satisfy at least two of the four standards by hiring people from an underrepresented group namely individuals from a racial/ethinic minority, LGBTQ+ people, or persons with a cognitive or physical disability in order to compete in the category. Standard A involves "On-screen representation, themes, and narratives" which deals with a film's lead performers, cast, or subject matter. Standard B entails "Creative leadership and department heads" which involves creative heads in an films production or the film's crew as a whole. Standard C encompasses "Industry access and opportunities" which refers to both paid internships and training opportunities. Standard D involves "Audience development" which refers to representation in marketing, publicity, and distribution.[38] Filmmakers would have to submit a confidential Representation and Inclusion Standards Entry form (RAISE) indicating how their films would comply with the standards outlined by the Academy.[39]

Three years after the new rules were announced, AMPAS released a statement affirming that films not submitted for Best Picture consideration could bypass submitting the RAISE forms reporting a film's gender, race, and disability data. In addition, Academy FAQs stated that British films that have complied with the British Film Institute's inclusion and diversity standards will also be deemed as satisfying the Academy's diversity requirements.[40]

Box office performance of Best Picture nominees

edit

When the nominations were announced, nine of the ten films nominated for Best Picture had earned a combined gross of $1.09 billion at the American and Canadian box offices at the time.[41] Barbie was the highest-grossing film among the Best Picture nominees with $636 million in domestic box office receipts.[42] Oppenheimer came in second with $326 million; this was followed by Killers of the Flower Moon ($67 million), Poor Things ($20.4 million), The Holdovers ($18.7 million), Past Lives ($10.9 million), American Fiction ($7.9 million), Anatomy of a Fall ($3.9 million), and The Zone of Interest ($1.6 million).[43] The official domestic box office figures for Maestro were unavailable due to their distributor Netflix's policy of refusing to release such figures.[44][45] Furthermore with its win for Best Picture, Oppenheimer became the highest grossing winner in that category since 2003's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.[46]

Jonathan Glazer's The Zone of Interest acceptance speech

edit

Shortly after winning the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, The Zone of Interest director Jonathan Glazer called for and end to Israel's bombardment of Gaza in his acceptance speech. One sentence from Glazer's speech, in which he said that he and fellow producer James Wilson "stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people", was widely misinterpreted and misquoted, with some sources ending the quote after the words "refute their Jewishness" and incorrectly suggesting that Glazer was disavowing his Jewish identity.[47][48] Many pro-Israel figures disapproved of the statement.[49][50][51][52] Additionally. over 1,000 Jewish members of the film industry signed an open letter denouncing Glazer's speech and defending the actions of the Israeli government.[53][54] Others defended Glazer's comments, including playwright Tony Kushner and the director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, where The Zone of Interest is set and where parts of it were filmed.[55][56] One month after the ceremony took place, over 450 Jewish members of the international film community, including Joaquin Phoenix, Joel Coen, Elliott Gould, and Wallace Shawn, signed an open letter in support of Glazer's speech.[57]

Critical reviews

edit

Television critic Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "It was a long night, as it always is, but not the slog it often is. The scripted banter was better than usual, and when it failed, personality took up the slack." Regarding Kimmel's performance as host, he commented that he was "a reliable, relatable presence liable to stir no controversy in a venue that has a low tolerance for controversy. At the same time he's sharp enough not to be boring."[58] Alison Herman of Variety remarked that despite the lack of surprises amongst the winners, "The show delivered entertainment and emotion in spades, if not surprise." She also commended Gosling's performance of "I'm Just Ken" as "a maximalist, infectiously goofy singalong was the ideal way to channel the feel-good energy of an Oscars where none of the bonhomie felt forced, as it often can."[59] The Hollywood Reporter columnist Daniel Fienberg lauded Kimmel as "A guy you can trust to do a monologue and then he’ll hold together the disparate components and fill dead air and generally keep the mood light." He also singled out the decision to have five previous winners presenting the nominees in each acting category as a highlight of the festivities and acclaimed the witty banter between co-presenters.[60]

Ratings and reception

edit

The American telecast on ABC drew in an average of 19.5 million people over its length, which was a 4% increase from the previous year's ceremony.[61] The show also held steady in Nielsen ratings compared to the previous ceremony with 9.9% of households watching the ceremony.[62] However, it garnered a lower 18–49 demo rating with a 3.8 rating among viewers in that demographic.[63]

"In Memoriam"

edit

The "In Memoriam" tribute, which featured Andrea Bocelli performing his song "Time to Say Goodbye" with his son Matteo, paid tribute to the following individuals:[64][65]

Furthermore, a collage of additional names paying tribute to individuals such as Ron Cephas Jones, Norman Lear, Lance Reddick, Suzanne Somers, and Treat Williams appeared onscreen at the conclusion of the segment.[66]
