Before the ceremony, Hollywood’s hottest stars and A-listers will walk the red carpet. Celebrities will be dressed in fashion’s top brands from head to toe as they pose for photos and stop for interviews. However, this year marks a huge change for the Oscars. The carpet’s color will be champagne, not red. This marks the first time since 1961 that the carpet isn’t red.

2024 Oscar winners: Oppenheimer wins 7 awards, including Best Picture
A man looks away in Oppenheimer.

There weren't a lot of surprise winners or upsets at the 2024 Oscars, but that doesn't mean it wasn't an entertaining show. As expected, Oppenheimer was the big winner at the 96th Academy Awards, with Christopher Nolan scoring his first wins for Best Picture and Best Director. Out of 11 nominations, Oppenheimer took home seven Oscars, including Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr., and the awards for original score, cinematography, and film editing.

Best Actress went to Emma Stone for her role in Poor Things, a film that also won best costume design, production design, and makeup and hairstyling. The Holdovers' Da’Vine Joy Randolph was named Best Supporting Actress in the first award that was given during the ceremony.

The best films of 2023 will be honored at the 2024 Oscars. Also known as the 96th Academy Awards, the 2024 Oscars will feature some of the biggest and brightest stars Hollywood has to offer, including Margot Robbie, Robert Downey Jr., Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Lily Gladstone, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and more. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will award Oscars in 23 categories, with the top prize being Best Picture. Jimmy Kimmel returns to host for the fourth time.

Oppenheimer leads the field with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things with 11, Killers of the Flower Moon with 10, and Barbie with eight. Can Oppenheimer complete its dominant awards season run with a Best Picture prize, or can The Zone of Interest or Poor Things pull off the improbable upset?
What channel is the Oscars on?
The 2024 Oscars will air on ABC starting at a new time of 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Sunday, March 10. This is a significant change from the regular 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT start time. However, ABC has decided to start the Oscars at 7 p.m. ET so it can air a new episode of Abbott Elementary upon the ceremony's completion at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT. This strategy is similar to how the network airing the Super Bowl airs an episode of television following the Big Game.

It's become a time-honored tradition at the Academy Awards for the tunes nominated for Best Original Song to be performed onstage at the Oscars, often by the very artists who provided their vocals for the film in question. The 96th annual Academy Awards will be no exception, and one of the most anticipated parts of this year's show will be the live performances.

While we can't predict the exact times that the songs will be performed, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the full lineup of artists who will take the stage this Sunday, March 10, at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California.
