And the Oscar goes to... On Monday night, the famous Academy Awards, better known as the “Oscars,” will take place for the 96th time.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ceremony honors the most outstanding films.
The cinema year 2023 was particularly notable for successful films such as Christopher Nolan's “Oppenheimer”, Greta Gerwig's “Barbie” and “Poor Things” with Emma Stone, which means that the anticipation for this year's Oscars is particularly great.
The Oscar ceremony is traditionally held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the program in 2017, 2018 and most recently in 2023, will be the host of the night.
In total, prizes will be awarded in 23 categories, for which there are 120 nominations this year.
Particular attention is paid to the awards for the best film, best leading and supporting actors and best director.

Oscars 2024: the favorites in the
Best Film category
There are a total of 10 nominations in the most important category “Best Film”: Christopher Nolan’s autobiography “Oppenheimer” is considered the absolute favorite, and the film received a whopping 13 nominations in total.
Co-favorites are “Poor Things” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” by Martin Scorsese, which have 11 and 10 nominations, respectively.
Oppenheimer:
J. Robert Oppenheimer, played by Cilian Murphy, is the inventor of the atomic bomb. The autobiography of the same name tells the exciting life story of the “father” of the most dangerous weapon in the world.
The film became a blockbuster and grossed a total of $954 million.
The favorite for the best film at the 2024 Oscars can currently be streamed on Amazon Prime Video for just 4.99 euros.

Poor Things:
In May 2023, the film starring Emma Stone won the highest award at the Venice Film Festival, the “Golden Lion”.
Two Golden Globes were recently added, and an Oscar accolade may follow this weekend.
In the film adaptation, a woman's corpse is brought to life by an eccentric scientist and in the future lives like the female version of Frankenstein's monster.
11 nominations for the Oscar speak for themselves.
You can't stream the cinema hit yet, but some streaming services offer “Poor Things” for purchase for home cinema.
Possibly the best film of last year costs 13.99 euros on Amazon Prime and the Sky Store.
Killers of the Flower Moon:
The book adaptation by director Martin Scorsese has 10 Oscar nominations, including for Best Picture.
The film is about a series of murders of an indigenous people in Oklahoma in the 1920s after oil was discovered on the people's land.
Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio star in the two main roles.
“Killers of The Flower Moon” is available to stream on AppleTV+.

Barbie:
Who would have thought that a Barbie film would spark a true cinema revival?
The production grossed a whopping $1.4 billion last year, making the film the most numerically successful film of the 10 nominees for Best Film.
Of course, the film with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken is about the exciting life of the famous pink doll.
Despite its sensational success, “Barbie” is only an outsider to win the Oscar.
Seven nominations for other categories should still bring the film one or two Golden Oscars.
You can watch Barbie via Sky's WOW program with a subscription, the first seven days are even free.
