A night full of glamour, excitement and tears, the 2024 Oscars embraced the drama of Hollywood during an entertaining three-hour ceremony.
While Oppenheimer took home the most prizes on the night, it certainly wasn't the star of the show. Performances from the likes of Billie Eilish and Ryan Gosling captured attention around the world, while nudity from former wrestler John Cena won't be easily forgotten.
But if you missed out on watching the 96th Academy Awards live, here are 12 of the best moments from the night in pictures.

3. Jimmy Kimmel recognises Hollywood workers
During an opening monologue full of jokes which more or less landed, host Jimmy Kimmel took a moment to recognise the workers in Hollywood who pulled through despite actors’ and writers' strike in 2023. He brought out members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Workers (IATSE) which refused to cross picket lines. | AFP via Getty Images
4. Da’Vine Joy Randolph brings audience to tears after winning Best Supporting Actress
Winning Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Holdovers, Da'Vine Joy Randolph was brought to tears by a warm introduction from past winner Lupita Nyong'o. Shortly after, the actress then brought audiences to tears with her heartfelt acceptance speech. She said: “I didn't think I was supposed to do this as a career. For so long, I've always wanted to be different, and now I realise I just need to be myself. And I thank you. I thank you for seeing me.” | Getty Images
