Academy Awards

Oscars 2024 witnessed some major industry records being made and broken.

However, it seems that Jimmy Kimmel, the host of the show, held some special grudges against former President Trump. During the live telecast, Kimmel took a moment to read aloud a social media post where Trump bashed him as this year’s Oscars host. Jimmy Kimmel fires back at Trump's Oscars diss(Ap…

Cinema's biggest night is over! The Oscars were quite eventful, and fortunately there were no shock situations or damage control involved. Even though the last presenter of the evening, Al Pacino, did announce the final award in a rather anticlimactic fashion that… surprised many.

Al Pacino, known for his absolutely seismic performances, turned in one at the Oscars so brilliant it seems unfair to call it understated instead of barely interested. The actor was tapped to announce the night’s biggest prize, Best Picture, and did so with such anticlimactic energy it seemed to confuse not only everyone watching, but the people running the Academy Awards telecast. Pacino seemed to totally ad-lib his category introduction, joking about doing some Shakespeare before slipping into a boilerplate spiel…

Surprising no one, Ryan Gosling absolutely delivered with a performance of his Oscar-nominated Barbie song “I’m Just Ken” at the 2024 Oscars, capable of burning down any mojo dojo casa house.  The actor, clad in an all-pink suit and cowboy hat, started the song from his seat in the audience, cracking up Billie Eilish and Margot Robbie as he started singing. Mark Ronson joined Gosling, backing him on guitar, and a group of dancers, including Barbie actor Simu Liu, as well as Wolfgang Van Halen also joined the set.…

The Oppenheimer actor won his first Oscar for his portrayal of antagonist Lewis Strauss Robert Downey Jr. took home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor on Sunday — marking his first-ever Oscar win.
