Oscars 2024: Full List of Winners and the Most Shocking Moments
The 96th annual Academy Awards are over, officially ending the awards season. (About time, right?) And what a season it has been. From Barbie snubs to Oppenheimer domination, it's been a season of highs, a few lows, and a lot of surprises. Let's break down the winners, losers and the most shocking moments from this year's Oscars.
Before we get to that, make sure you're subscribed to the Parting Shot podcast and my newsletter, For the Culture. And if you missed my red carpet reactions, check that out, because the looks this year were wow.

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the ceremony this year, and honestly he was fine. I do feel like he'll go down in history as one of the best Oscar hosts, up there with Bob Hope, Whoopi Goldberg, and, of course, Billy Crystal. He sets the right tone yet is able to make fun of the celebrities in a way that feels fun, not mean. And he somehow got John Cena to walk across the Oscars stage naked, who else can do that? (I don't think anybody had John Cena appearing naked at the ceremony on their Oscar scorecard.)
