Oscars 2024 live: Cillian Murphy wins best actor as Oppenheimer cleans up

Gosling had the Oscars crowd in hysterics with his long-awaited performance of “I’m Just Ken”.

Gosling began his performance in the crowd, sitting in his seat wearing a hot pink suit embellished with rhinestones, matching gloves, a cowboy hat, and a pair of sunglasses.

Sitting in the seats surrounding Gosling, his Barbie co-star Margot Robbie and Billie Eilish (who won Best Song together with her brother Finneas for their song in Barbie) were spotted on camera cracking up.

Backstage at the Oscars, The Independent asked Jennifer Lame whether she struggled to keep up with the pace of Oppenheimer, which viewers will know moves rapidly through the atomic bomb creator’s life.

She confirmed: “Yes, it was a struggle! And I never wanted it to feel too quick, so I hope it didn’t feel too quick!

“All the performances were incredible, everything Chris shot, his script was incredible and I wanted it all to be in there. And I wanted everyone to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed it when I read that script.

“I didn’t want it to feel too rushed so that was obviously an incredible challenge that Chris and I worked together on so hard every day. It means so much to me that so many people came out and watched this film and told me they didn’t think it was too long even though I know it’s almost three hours!”

The clip then panned to Mulaney, 41, sitting comfortably in his all-black bow tuxedo as the “sitting down guy”.

Viewers of the 2024 Oscars ceremony claim to have spotted a coded dig at Marvel in Robert Downey Jr’s acceptance speech.

In his speech, Downey said: “Here’s my little secret: I needed this job more than it needed me. Chris [Nolan] knew it, [producer Emma Thomas] made sure the she surrounded me with one of the greatest cast and crews of all time.”

Oscar nominee Sandra Hüller was one of multiple stars brought to tears by Jonathan Glazer’s emotional Oscars acceptance speech.

Glazer’s harrowing drama, The Zone of Interest, about Auschwitz’s commandant, won Best International Film, becoming the first UK movie to win in that category. Accepting his prize on stage, Glazer spoke about Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Gaza.

“All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present – not to say, look what they did then, rather look what we do now,” he said.

“Our film shows where dehumanisation leads at its worst.”

The Blockers actor and former wrestler was introduced by ceremony host Jimmy Kimmel in a skit that preceded the award presentation. Kimmel began by mentioning the fact that it had been 50 years since a streaker invaded the stage at the 46th Academy Awards ceremony in 1974.

“Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?” Kimmel asked, while behind him, Cena peeked out from behind the set dressing.

The pair then bickered over whether or not they were going to go through with “the streaker bit”, as Cena feigned reluctance.

Eventually, however, he emerged from the wings of the stage, with only the winner’s envelope covering his privates from view. “Costumes are…so important,” he said.

Downey Jr has now won the Oscar, Golden Globe, Critics Choice, SAG and BAFTA for his performance as Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer.

“My big secret is: I needed this job more than it needed me,” he told the Dolby Theater audience.
