As had been widely expected, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer won the coveted Best Picture trophy at last night's 96th Academy Awards in Hollywood, the crowning jewel of a superb night that saw the film take home a total of seven awards.

The ceremony also saw Nolan pick up his first Best Director gong, while stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr were victorious in the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories, respectively, and the film was also successful in various craft categories – including cinematography and film editing.

One of the big talking points before the ceremony had been whether Killers of the Flower Moon's Lily Gladstone or Poor Things star Emma Stone would win in the Best Actor category and in the end, it was Stone who took home the Oscar, while The Holdovers star Da'Vine Joy Randolph capped off an incredible awards season by picking up a golden statuette for Best Supporting Actress.

Elsewhere, there were also wins for the likes of The Boy and the Heron for Best Animated Feature and Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell's What Was I Made For? picking up the award for Best Original Song for Barbie, while The Zone of Interest was crowned Best International Film.

Meanwhile, few high-profile films ultimately wound up empty-handed, with the likes of Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon failing to convert their nominations into wins in any categories.
