Jennifer Lawrence was as elegant as ever as she arrived at the 2024 Academy Awards on Sunday, marking her grand return to the ceremony for the first time since 2018.

 

The 96th Academy Awards honored the best films of 2023, with the glittering ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The most hotly anticipated movies of the past year — Barbie and Oppenheimer — led the nominations, and Christopher Nolan’s biopic about the father of the atomic bomb took home the top award.

Jennifer’s stunned on the red carpet in the shoulder-baring ensemble, with one half-sleeve draped over a shoulder and the other wrapped around her arm.

 

 

The actress was seen just the day before as she went to a hair salon appointment to get her glamorous look ready.

 

 

 

 

Oscars 2024 winners: AT A GLANCE

 

 

Oppenheimer bagged 13 nods this year, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Cillian Murphy — who won after being the favorite to win the major category after scooping a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and a SAG award for his role as physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.

The impressive total — which include Best Supporting Actor and Actress for Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt, as well as Best Director for Christopher Nolan — is just one nomination short of the all-time record set by Titanic in 1998.

 

Last year’s other smash hit movie, Barbie, was nominated for eight awards, but also missed out on some notable categories.

Its star Margot Robbie was not nominated for Best Actress, while Greta Gerwig was not nominated for Best Director.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last year’s other smash hit movie, Barbie, was nominated for eight awards, but also missed out on some notable categories.

Its star Margot Robbie was not nominated for Best Actress, while Greta Gerwig was not nominated for Best Director.

 

Barbie’s other nominations included Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling and two nods for Best Song, including Gosling’s famed I’m Just Ken.

 

For Best Actor in a leading role, Bradley Cooper and Cillian Murphy duked it out for the award, with Murphy winning his first Oscar for Oppenheimer. Colman Domingo, Paul Giamatti and Jeffrey Wright received nominations as well.

Leonardo DiCaprio was snubbed for his acting in Martin Scorsese’s critically acclaimed Western crime epic Killers Of The Flower Moon.

 

 

Annette Bening, Lily Gladstone, Sandra Huller, Carey Mulligan and Emma Stone were nominated for Best Actress in a leading role.

Gladstone was the first Native American nominated for Best Actress — and only the second Indigenous actress — for her performance in Killers Of The Flower Moon, and she had been the favorite in the category thanks to her wins at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards, though Emma won after previously taking home the Bafta.

 

Sterling K. Brown, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Gosling and Mark Ruffalo received nominations for Best Supporting Actor, with Downey emerging triumphant.

Emily Blunt, Danielle Brooks, America Ferrera, Jodie Foster and Da’Vine Joy Randolph received nominations for Best Supporting Actress.

 

Gerwig was nominated for Best Director in 2018 for her solo directorial debut, Lady Bird. Only three women have won Oscars for Best Director: Kathryn Bigelow, Chloe Zhao and Jane Campion.

 

 

 

 

Bradley Cooper was not nominated for directing Maestro but he was recognized for his acting in that biopic.
