Academy Awards 2024: Despite acclaim from film scholars and movie critics throughout awards season, it was a rough Sunday night for writer-director Martin Scorsese’s historical epic Killers of the Flower Moon at the 96th annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles.
The film — which chronicles the mysterious murders of several indigenous residents living on Oklahoma’s Osage Nation Reservation after oil is discovered on tribal land in the 1920s — suffered a complete shutout at the 2024 Oscars. Star Lily Gladstone appeared to have the best chance of winning a major Oscar going into the ceremonies with her Best Female Actor win at the 2024 SAG Awards.
Academy Awards 2024, Gladstone’s chief competitor Emma Stone, however, took the Best Actress trophy at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, and won again in the category at the Oscars Sunday night. Gladstone did make Oscar history, though, by becoming the first Native American performer to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar.
Oppenheimer dominated the Oscars with seven wins, including Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr.
