Oppenheimer raffle, international triumph of Justine Triet, John Cena in the buff and Depardieu lynched... Here are 8 already iconic moments from the Oscars 2024 ceremony.

An edition full of color. Last night held the 96th Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles, the annual meeting of industry professionals at the top of the 7th art and movie enthusiasts who savor their talent. A suspenseful awards ceremony, unusual prize-giving, successful hosting by Jimmy Kimmel: if you have to remember some highlights of the ceremony, it's these. Oppenheimer crushes the competition Not surprisingly, Oppenheimer, the grand portrait of the father of the atomic bomb, leaves with a shower of statuettes. Best film, best direction, best actor for Cillian Murphy, best supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr, best editing, best.re photography and best original music (well deserved for Ludwig Göransson); it's a consecration for Christopher Nolan who, believe it or not, had never (personally) received an award in 25 years of career.


Emma Stone crowned Best Actress 

Emma Stone shines once again as an actress of "Oscar-worthy roles". The actress, who had already been crowned for her role as a romantic bohemian in La La Land, wins the Oscar for Best Actress for the second time. Her interpretation of Bella Baxter in Pauvres Créatures was particularly noteworthy, a role she describes as "joyful", but also "the most demanding" of her career.

It is impossible not to mention the actress's speech, visibly embarrassed by her dress, whose zipper broke in the back during the ceremony. A classic.

Luckily, Emma Stone knows how to bounce back, and quickly teased her co-star Ryan Gosling: "I think it happened during I'm Just Ken."


Justine Triet wins Best Original Screenplay

Competing in five categories, Anatomy of a Fall only managed to snag one award, that of Best Screenplay. Still, it's a triumph for Justine Triet, who has already won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Best Screenplay award (also) at the Golden Globes. And for good reason: it had been since 2011 (and The Artist by Michel Hazanavicius) that a French film had not won an Oscar.

"I think it will help me get through my midlife crisis," said the director as she took the stage, out of breath, to accept her precious trophy alongside her partner, Arthur Harari. It was during the lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic that the couple co-wrote the screenplay. A major award for a low-budget film of 6.2 million euros.


Messi, star of Anatomy of a Fall, learns to applaud 

The image is circulating on Twitter right now: Messi, the famous dog from Anatomy of a Fall, may even be stealing the show, right after Sandra Hüller's performance, with a dedicated seat at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The beloved doggy had everyone laughing, filmed clapping with his two paws as Robert Downey Jr. received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Surely the most adorable edit of all ceremonies (don't tell me you didn't fall for it...).


Gérard Depardieu gets tackled by Jimmy Kimmel 

It was free, and extremely delicious. Yesterday, Jimmy Kimmel, the ceremony host, didn't hold back and tackled Gérard Depardieu, charged with rape and sexual assault. In what context? We come back once again to Messi: “The dog from Anatomy of a Fall is there. He's incredible, I haven't seen a French actor eat vomit like that since Gérard Depardieu” stated the American comedian in front of the cinema stars. A great moment to watch over and over again. 


Ryan Gosling lights up the stage with I'm Just Ken 

If there were an Oscar for best musical performance, Ryan Gosling would have been the victorious one. Last night, the actor set the stage on fire, dressed in a glittery bubblegum pink suit, performing I'm Just Ken, one of the iconic songs from Barbie, overlooked by the awards. His only prize? The best original song, won by What was I made for ? by Billie Eilish (and not I'm Just Ken, ironic!).

John Cena unveils an Oscar... in the buff It seems like guys just love showing off their birthday suit when no one even expects it. And John Cena is no different: in a surprise moment, the actor and ex-wrestler popped up on stage in the buff to give out the prize for best costumes. To keep things PG, he cleverly covered up with a giant envelope. Luckily, the audience was spared from seeing too much and he promptly got dressed in a toga for the rest of the show. Whew.


Jonathan Glazer denounces the situation in Gaza  

This is one of the strongest statements of the ceremony. Jonathan Glazer, winner of the best foreign film for The Zone of Interest - a film about the Holocaust - denounced on stage the situation in Gaza and the horror of the war between Israel and Hamas.   " Whether it's the victims in Israel on October 7, or the ongoing attack in Gaza, they are all victims of dehumanization », he argued, recalling the theme of his film, in which Nazis live without emotions on the outskirts of a concentration camp. At the Oscars, other stars like Mark Ruffalo and Billie Eilish wore red badges calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
