Cinema is back, baby! It might feel like a counterintuitive statement given the highs and lows of the last year for Hollywood (yes, we're talking about the strikes). But no one can deny the success of Barbenheimer, an unprecedented event that drew people back to the movie theatres and gave a promising glimpse into the future of film. But it's not the only film that got people talking in 2023. There was the emotional rollercoaster of Past Lives, an act of truth-telling with Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things, The Zone of Interest and May December. It's a strong list of contenders. So who has cut through, coming out on to for Hollywood's night of nights – the 96th Academy Awards, AKA the 2024 Oscars? Stay tuned for the full list of winners, below.
