Oscars 2024:- Here is all you need to know about the date, time, venue, hosts and nominations of the 96th Academy awards.
The 96th annual Academy Awards are set to unfold on March 10 at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles, bringing forth a night of glitz, glamour, and recognition of cinematic excellence. As the anticipation builds, let’s delve into the latest updates, notable nominations, and what to expect from this prestigious event.
Despite high hopes, “2018: Everyone is a Hero,” the Malayalam film chosen as India’s entry for the International Feature Film category, faced disappointment. Director Jude Anthany Joseph’s creation didn’t secure a spot in the shortlist of 15 films, as announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). This setback highlights the fierce competition at the Oscars.
The Dominance of the Oppenheimer Biopic
On a contrasting note, a biopic revolving around Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist pivotal to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, has emerged as a frontrunner. Garnering nominations in an impressive 13 categories, including ‘Best Film,’ ‘Best Director,’ and ‘Best Adapted Screenplay,’ the Oppenheimer biopic is set to be a prominent feature at the Oscars.

Hollywood’s Reflection at the Oscars
The Oscars often mirror Hollywood’s self-perception, and this year appears no different. While the past celebrated daring originality with films like “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “Parasite,” the focus for the 96th Academy Awards seems inclined toward grand studio epics. This choice reflects Hollywood’s acknowledgment of the power of cinema and perhaps an underlying apprehension about its future.
As the stage is set and the spotlight awaits, the Oscars 2024 promise an evening of entertainment, recognition, and the celebration of cinematic achievements that captivated audiences worldwide.
