Oscars: Full List of Winners for 2024!

Even before the Oscars, many had already started predicting what movie would win the best picture this year. Many had already predicted it to be Oppenheimer, as the movie took the internet and cinemas by storm right after its release. With close to no marketing needed, for many, the movie was one of the best cinema experiences that they have had so far. But the Oscars are more than just the best film, so here is the full list of the Oscar winners for 2024!

Best Picture

That’s right. We all guessed it. Oppenheimer featuring Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt and all the other stars that we know and love took home the Best Picture award at Oscars 2024. The movie was an amazing production by Emma Thomas, Charles Roven, and Christopher Nolan which had people hooked to the screens for three straight hours!

Another major guess for this category was Barbie, which was produced by David Heyman, Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley and Robbie Brenner. Although Barbie did not win the best picture, the movie did win the hearts of many in 2023 as pink became a popular colour following its launch. Some of the other movies that competed in the category include:

American Fiction produced by Ben LeClair, Nikos Karamigios, Cord Jefferson, and Jermaine Johnson
Anatomy of a Fall produced by Marie-Ange Luciani and David Thion
The Holdovers produced by Mark Johnson
Killers of the Flower Moon produced by Dan Friedkin, Bradley Thomas, Martin Scorsese, and Daniel Lupi
Maestro by Bradley Cooper, Steven Spielberg, Fred berner, Amy Durning and Kristie Macosko Krieger
Past Lives by David Hinojosa, Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler
Poor Things by Andre Lowe, Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone
The Zone of Interest by James Wilson

Best Actor & Actress in a Leading Role

With Oppenheimer taking the spot for Best Picture, it’s barely a surprise that Cillian Murphy won Best Actor in a Leading Role. Cillian has been gaining extra fame since his role in Oppenheimer. This, however, is not his first role garnering such popularity. Prior to this, Cillian has also been noted for his astonishing acting in Peaky Blinders.

To many people’s surprise, Emma Stone won the Best Actress for Poor Things. Although the movie just came out, Emma Stone has been an actress loved by many in all her previous roles as well.

Best Feature Films

There were three different categories under feature films. So here are the winners. The Boy and the Heron won the place for Best Animated Feature Film. Again, this is no surprise as everyone likes anything by Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki!

20 Days in Mariupol won the Best Documentary Film while The Zone of Interest won the Best International Film.

Best Short Film

The Best Short Film Category also had three sub-categories. The winner of Best Animated Short Film at the Oscars was War Is Over! This short film was inspired by the Music of John & Yoko.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar won the Best Live-Action Short Film. This film was directed by the popular Wes Anderson and Steven Rales. The Last Repair by Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers took home the Oscar for Best Documentary Short Film.

Best Cinematography, Costume Design, Makeup & Hairstyling

Best Cinematography was yet another Oscar category that Oppenheimer managed to win! In competition were movies such as Maestro and Poor Things. When it came to Best Costume Design as well as Best Makeup and Hairstyling Poor Things took first place.

Best Original Song

The Oscar for Best Original Song went to ‘What Was I Made For?’ by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell. The song was featured in the Barbie Movie, and became a popular hit alongside ‘I’m Just Ken’. If you watched the Oscars, you might have also caught the moment when Billie Eilish met Ariana Grande, who attended in a beautiful pink gown!

Best Original Score, Production Design, Film Editing, Sound & Visual Effects

The Oscar for Best Original Score and Best Film Editing also went to Oppenheimer. The movie appears to have made an impact since its release, winning more Oscars than any other nominees. The Best Production Design went to Poor Things, while Best Sound went to The Zone of Interest. The last Oscar category to be announced was the Best Visual Effects. This category was won by Godzilla: Minus One!

OYO Hotels & Homes has come a long way from its start in 2013. What began as a small-budget hotel aggregator in India is now one of the world’s fastest-growing hospitality brands. Despite challenges, OYO continues to expand, innovate, and refine its business model to stay ahead.

Expanding in Key Markets

OYO is doubling down on India’s booming spiritual tourism sector, with plans to add 500 hotels in major pilgrimage destinations like Ayodhya, Varanasi, and Haridwar. The move aligns with the country’s push to improve infrastructure for religious travelers.

Globally, OYO is making a bold push in North America. It recently acquired G6 Hospitality, the parent company of Motel 6 and Studio 6, for $525 million. This deal strengthens OYO’s foothold in the U.S. budget hotel market, expanding its portfolio and revenue potential.

Tech-Driven Hospitality

OYO’s success isn’t just about expansion—it’s about innovation. The company continues to enhance its technology to improve both hotel management and guest experiences:

OYO OS: A management system that helps hotel partners streamline operations.
AI-Powered Pricing: Uses machine learning to adjust room rates dynamically.
Self Check-in via OYO App: Guests can skip the front desk with digital ID verification.
AI Chatbots for Customer Support: Faster, 24/7 assistance for guests.

By leveraging automation and AI, OYO is making budget stays more efficient and accessible.

IPO on the Horizon

After restructuring to focus on profitability, OYO Hotels & Homes is reviving its IPO plans. Reports suggest early investors, including Lightspeed Venture Partners, may sell part of their stake, valuing OYO at $3.9 billion. The IPO, expected in the next financial year, could provide a fresh capital boost for expansion and tech investments.

Navigating Market Challenges

OYO has had its fair share of challenges, from regulatory hurdles to quality control issues. Recently, a new policy in Meerut, India, requiring unmarried couples to show proof of their relationship before check-in sparked debate. Moves like these highlight the delicate balance OYO must strike between local sensitivities and customer expectations.

The Road Ahead

OYO isn’t just growing—it’s evolving. With a stronger focus on profitability, a major U.S. expansion, and an IPO in sight, the next phase of OYO’s journey will be one to watch. Whether you’re a traveler looking for affordable stays or an investor betting on the future of hospitality, OYO’s story is far from over.
