Why is the 2024 Oscars the best awards ceremony in recent years?

The 2024 Oscar Awards ceremony will take place over 3 and a half hours (from 6:00 a.m. on March 11, Vietnam time).

This can be considered one of the best award ceremonies in recent years.

As expected, Oppenheimer won 7 Oscars including Best Picture, Actor, Director, Cinematography, Film Editing, Supporting Actor and Original Score. Best Documentary went to the Ukrainian film, 20 Days in Mariupol.

The ceremony was exciting, fast-paced, and had touching speeches. The highlight this year was probably the appearance of Messi the dog and John Cena's nude performance.

Emma Stone won her second Oscar for her performance in Poor Things.

Emma Stone's first golden statue was for her leading role in La La Land , co-starring Ryan Gosling.

So Lily Gladstone failed to make history as the first Native American to win an Oscar in the acting category.

Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan won Best Director. It was Nolan's first gold statuette out of eight nominations. He gave presenter Steven Spielberg a warm hug.

Noland has previously won awards at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, Critics Choice and Directors Guild of America.

Nolan wrote the screenplay for Oppenheimer and produced the film with his wife Emma Thomas. The film received 13 Oscar nominations and won two other major awards, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.

Oppenheimer grossed over $957 million at the global box office.

Irish actor Cillian Murphy is up for Best Actor at the 2024 Oscars, for his performance as the “father of the atomic bomb” J. Robert Oppenheimer in the film Oppenheimer.

This is the first Oscar statuette for Murphy, who is best known for his role as Thomas Shelby in the Netflix series Peaky Blinders.

One of the most anticipated performances at the awards ceremony was Ryan Gosling with 65 male dancers.

The actor appeared in a sparkling suit, wearing pink gloves, performing the Barbie soundtrack song I'm Just Ken .

Also joining the performance are actor Simu Liu (best known for playing Shang-Chi in the Marvel superhero universe ), Ncuti Gatwa (best known for playing Eric Effiong in the comedy series Sex Education) and British actor Kingsley Ben-Adir.

Oscar for Japanese cinema when the award for Best Visual Effects went to the film Godzilla Minus One.

To date, Godzilla Minus One (directed by Takashi Yamazaki) has grossed over $100 million worldwide. The film has been a hit with its excellent visual effects despite only costing $15 million.

Big surprise at this year's Oscars, despite being announced not to attend the awards ceremony, dog Messi still appeared in the audience with his trainer.

He immediately took the spotlight as the program's camera occasionally panned to Messi's close-up angle like a movie superstar.

Messi is the "four-legged actor" who plays the dog Snoop in the Best Original Screenplay-winning film - Anatomy of a Fall.

Thanks to his acting and adorable appearance, this Border Collie dog has always captured the hearts of audiences since the Cannes Film Festival.

Messi also won the Cannes Film Festival's Palm Dog award for best performance by a dog in a movie...
