Oscars 2024 winners list in full as historic achievements marked with huge triumph

The 2024 Oscars saw a series of historic firsts and achievements, as well as a few missed chances to make history.

British filmmaker Christopher Nolan was the star of the show, finally winning an Academy Award after a 22-year wait. Nolan had been nominated twice before for best original screenplay – for Memento in 2002 and Inception in 2011 – but didn’t win either time.

He was also up for best director for Dunkirk in 2018, but again left without a trophy. This year, however, he took home the award for best director for his film Oppenheimer.

Oppenheimer also led to two more Oscar firsts. Cillian Murphy, who played the lead role of J Robert Oppenheimer the American physicist who helped create the atomic bomb won best actor, becoming the first Irish person to do so.

Robert Downey Jr also won his first Oscar, taking home the award for best supporting actor for his role as Lewis Strauss in the film. Downey Jr had been waiting even longer than Nolan for an Oscar, having received his first acting nomination in 1993 for Chaplin.

Another British filmmaker, Jonathan Glazer, made history when his film The Zone of Interest became the first UK production to win the Oscar for best international feature.

The film, set in and around the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War Two, features dialogue that is mostly in German and Polish which made it eligible for the award.

Another historic moment came when 20 Days in Mariupol was named best documentary feature, marking the first Oscar to be won by Ukraine.

Oppenheimer was the big winner of the night, taking home seven Oscars. This put it ahead of Poor Things (four wins) and The Zone of Interest (two).

Oppenheimer had received a total of 13 nominations. If it had won in all these categories, it would have set a new record for the most wins by a single film.

The current record of 11 is held jointly by Ben-Hur (in 1960), Titanic (1998) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2004).
