The countdown to the 2024 Oscars has already begun, and there are only a few months left until the current stars raise the golden statuettes. It will undoubtedly be one of the most challenging years for those who decide the awards, especially because there will be very talented actors and films competing in the same category.

It is estimated that Oppenheimer, Barbie and Poor Things will lead the nominations, along with their lead actors. These include Cillian Murphy, Margot Robbie and Emma Stone. The day when we will finally know who has secured a place on the lists will be January 23, and it can be watched through the official YouTube channel.

The 96th Academy Awards will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, who is already an iconic host of the event, marking his fourth time in the role. The fact that the comedian and presenter are returning has been widely discussed on social media, especially after the awkward moments Jo Koy experienced at the Golden Globes.

The 96th edition will take place on Sunday, March 10, and will be held at the legendary Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Since 1929, the organization and the event have recognized the work and excellence of the seventh art, providing artists with a new status among their peers.

This time will be no exception, and there may be several stars taking home their first Oscar, such as Margot Robbie and Cillian Murphy. Meanwhile, others might add one to their list, like Emma Stone, who previously won the Best Actress award for her performance in the movie “La La Land”.
