Somehow, in a career that’s produced some of the most acclaimed and popular films of the 21st century, Christopher Nolan has never won an Oscar. While his films have picked up stray prizes here or there, Nolan himself has gone unrecognized by the Academy Awards until now. 2024 was finally Nolan’s moment. The man behind such modern classics as Memento, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Inception, and more took home the Academy Award for Best Director for his work on the blockbuster biopic Oppenheimer. Nolan prevailed in the face of major competition, beating out Anatomy of a Fall’s Justine Triet, ...

The song of the summer from the movie of the summer was “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie. The best part of the film getting a much deserved Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song was the fact that all the nominees in that category get performed live at the Oscars — which meant that Ryan Gosling would get to sing “I’m Just Ken” for a worldwide audience. He did not disappoint. Starting off in the audience at the Academy Awards seated behind Barbie herself, Margot Robbie, he then took the stage of the Dolby Theatre, flanked by numerous other Kens from the movie (including Simu Liu and Kingsley...

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito are best known together as the stars of the hit comedy Twins. But they have something else in common: They both played Batman villains in the 1990s. DeVito played the Penguin in Batman Returns. Arnold was Mr. Freeze in Batman & Robin. And so, very reasonably, they both despise Batman with a passion. At least that was the premise of their very funny Oscar presentation speech. DeVito said they were presenting together for “the obvious reason”; Schwarzenegger quipped back “We both tried to kill Batman!” After exchanging the ways Batman beat them — Batman bea...

For the first time in his career, Robert Downey Jr. is an Oscar winner. Downey won this year’s Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his work as Lewis Strauss in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Downey’s performance was essential to the film; a large portion of it was built around Strauss’ Senate confirmation hearing for the position of Secretary of Commerce. Strauss’ testimony, and the testimony of others, sparks flashbacks to the past, revealing how Cillian Murphy’s J. Robert Oppenheimer grew to lead the Manhattan Project which developed the world’s first atomic weapon, and then how hi...

Every year something happens at the Oscars that everyone talks about. This year, it’s John Cena “streaking.” (Technically he did not streak. But only by the thinnest of margins.) As it turns out, this year’s Academy Awards was the 50th anniversary of one of the most infamous moments in Oscar history: When an actual streaker ran across the stage in the middle of the presentation of one of the awards. If you’ve never seen it, here is that iconic, shocking sequence of events… Subscribe to ScreenCrush on Youtube To pay, uh, tribute to that moment this year’s Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel basically cued ...

The Oscars are upon us once again. After a season filled with drama, excitement, great movies, and fake noses, the winners will finally be revealed. This year’s frontrunners include Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, the presumptive favorite in many categories including Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr., Best Director for Nolan himself, and Best Picture of the year. The winners will be announced on Sunday, March 6 on ABC, and at an earlier-than-usual time: 7PM ET (4PM ET). Jimmy Kimmel hosts this year’s Academy Awards for the fourth time...

The Razzies’ latest round of winners is here. (Winners might be a bad choice of words in this case.) Since 1981, the Golden Raspberry Awards — better known to bad movie lovers (and bad movie makers) as “The Razzie Awards” — have given out prizes to the worst films, directors, writers, and actors of the year. Their picks aren’t always the best, but they are definitely the #1 name in the bad movie award space. And this year their #1 bad movie was Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey, the horror movie version of the beloved children’s classic, which was enabled by the original Winnie book going into th...

The Oscars are the unofficial conclusion to a year of movies. Yes, a calendar year technically ends on December 31. But for cinephiles, the year is not done until the thousands of members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have their say, and name the winners of their annual awards. Only then can we all collectively move on to the new year’s crop of movies. But history gets the true final word on any and every film, not the Academy. Just because a title wins Oscars — even if a title wins the prize for Best Picture of the year — doesn’t mean it will graduate to canonical masterp...
