Winners of the 96th Academy Awards

Now, here are the winners of the 96th Academy Awards. Not as few as I predicted, Oppenheimer won not just four Oscars but seven in its categories, including Best Picture. As for Barbie, it only won Best Original Song, "What Was I Made For?, not Best Costume and Production Design as I hoped, and Godzilla Minus One won for Best Visual Effects. Surprisingly, Hayao Miyazaki won Best Animated Feature for The Boy and the Heron, marking his second consecutive Oscar for a 2D animated film (anime).

There are two moments of this ceremony, including when wrestler John Cena was naked while presenting the award for Best Costume Design and Emma Stone had a wardrobe malfunction as she was on her way to collect her second Best Actress Oscar for Poor Things.
