Oscars 2024: 'Oppenheimer' wins best picture, six other awards including best director, best actor

This has been CNBC's live blog covering the 96th annual Academy Awards.

Universal's "Oppenheimer" took home seven Academy Awards on Sunday, including best picture.

The Christopher Nolan-directed biopic about the father of the atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer, earned best actor, best supporting actor, best film editing, best cinematography, best score and best director.

Disney and Searchlight's "Poor Things" won four awards during the ceremony, including best actress, best makeup and hairstyling, best production design and best costume design.

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 96th annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, moving the night along with biting comedic beats often aimed at past Oscars mishaps, including the accidental announcement of "La La Land" as best picture.

There was also a jab at the 50th anniversary of an Oscar streaker in the form of a nearly naked John Cena announcing the best costume award.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph won the first Oscar of the night, picking up the best supporting actress award for her performance as a boarding school cafeteria manager mourning the death of her son in the Vietnam War in Alexander Payne's "The Holdovers."

Best supporting actor went to Robert Downey Jr. for his role as Lewis Strauss in "Oppeneheimer." His co-star Cillian Murphy won best actor.

Best actress went to Emma Stone, her second win in the category. She won for her role in "Poor Things."

"Barbie" director Greta Gerwig may have been snubbed from the directing category, but the film still snagged a win for best original song with "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell.
