Lily Gladstone officially broke her silence after losing the highly coveted Oscar for Best Actress to “Poor Things” lead Emma Stone.“Feeling the love big time today, especially from Indian Country,” the “Killers of the Flower Moon” star posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday. “Kittō”kuniikaakomimmō”po’waw — seriously, I love you all.” The actress — who made history by being the first Native American to be nominated in the Best Actress category — joked that she didn’t walk away totally empty-handed.

The 96th Academy Awards ceremony was so locked in and nearly pre-determined that we, and many other outlets like ours, didn’t bother with an annual Snubs and Surprises feature—90% of the winners were that expected. But the Oscars always manage to throw in at least one curveball, and that was the Best Actress race.

It wouldn’t be an Academy Award ceremony without some controversy. While Emma Stone’s (“Poor Things”) Best Actress win over Lily Gladstone (“Killers Of The Flower Moon”) caused a lot of drama over social media, one of the biggest blunders—or what some suspected to be one— was around the presentation of The Best Picture award.

Despite not winning the best lead actress category at the 2024 Oscars Sunday, Lily Gladstone says she is “feeling the love big time” following the ceremony. Gladstone was neck-and-neck throughout awards season for the honor in a race that was too close to call with Emma Stone, who eventually won the statuette for her amazing performance in Poor Things, and many expressed disappointment over her loss.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Lily Gladstone is in good spirits following the 2024 Oscars, where many awards pundits predicted she would take home the Oscar for best actress thanks to her acclaimed performance as Mollie Kyle in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Gladstone won prizes at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards prior to the Oscars, but Academy voters bestowed the best actress Oscar to Emma Stone from “Poor Things” instead. “Feeling the love big time today, especially from Indian Country.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Just minutes before the Oscars were set to begin, the show’s producers realized they had a problem: Some of the year’s key A-listers and nominees weren’t inside the Dolby Theatre just yet. The perfect storm of traffic delays, pro-Palestine protests, the first day of daylight saving time and an earlier start time had contributed to the last-minute crunch. “We were definitely stressed out, because we had to have certain celebrities in their seats,” Oscars producer Molly McNearney — also an EP on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” — tells Variety on Monday morning.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The Oscars ceremoniously wrapped a season dominated by blockbuster achievements, celebrating the extraordinary talents behind this year’s cinematic wonders. Despite the spotlight on artistic excellence, the awards season wasn’t without its missteps and controversies, notably influenced by voter apathy in the aftermath of prolonged industry strikes. This disengagement, particularly among American voters, may have bolstered the influence of the Academy’s sizable international constituency, aligning the Oscars’ outcomes more closely with the BAFTA selections than in years past.

The 96th Academy Awards on Sunday (10 March) was an emotional evening for actress Emma Stone, who bagged the second Oscar of her career by winning Best Actress in a Leading Role at the awards show. Winning the gong for her performance in comedy/sci-fi flick Poor Things, Emma, 35, was visibly overwhelmed as she took to the stage to accept. And while many fans were happy for her, not all agreed that it was the right decision.Taking to X, formerly Twitter, many shared their opinion that Lily Gladstone, who was the leading actress in crime/western release Killers Of The Flower Moon, was 'robbed' of the accolade.

the 2024 Oscars, beating the expected winner, Lily Gladstone, in an upset, didn’t appear pleased by host Jimmy Kimmel’s sex joke. In his opening monologue, Kimmel, 56, played a short clip from Stone’s film and cracked, “Those were all the parts of ‘Poor Things’ that we’re allowed to show on TV,” referring to the movie’s steamy R-rated content. Stone could be seen in the audience, turning to her husband, comedian and writer Dave McCary, whom she married in 2020.

The Oscars took place on Sunday night, with the ceremony celebrating the very best talent in film, design and sound.

Not every moment that happened at the 2024 Academy Awards was shown on TV, but luckily there were photographers stationed all over the room to capture all the moments.

2024 Oscars were hosted by Jimmy Kimmel on Sunday, March 10, airing on ABC (in the new earlier time slot of 7 p.m.). The Christopher Nolan flick starring Cillian Murphy was this year’s frontrunner, with a staggering 13 nominations — including for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., respectively.

Kimmel, 56, joked that he “always dreamed of hosting the Oscars exactly four times.”Of course, no award ceremony would be complete without controversy.

Hollywood, and Deadline’s live blog, are back for the 96th Academy Awards. The sunny skies, and the fact that the 10 Best Picture nominees include several that audiences have actually seen, bodes well for the festivities. Jimmy Kimmel is back as host, and because Donald Trump remains former president, there is every chance that the Red States won’t consider the event polarized and worth watching … all signs point to a ratings rebound.
