Come one, come all. The most important show in awards season is finally here. Who will take home the statues of gold men? Will it be Bradley Cooper for his performance in “Maestro”? Could it be “Barbie” for Best Picture? Or perhaps the real winners are the head-turning fashion moments on the Oscars 2024 red carpet.
Sunday, March 10 2024 marks the 96th annual Academy Awards — more commonly known as the Oscars. This night of nights brings together all the heavy hitters in the film industry to celebrate the cinematic achievements of the past year. Movie buffs, film professionals and your favourite celebrities will gather at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre for the ceremony.
2023 was the year of “Barbenheimer” and the cultural phenomena’s Oscar nominations are proof of its impact. “Barbie” picked up eight nominations, alongside a snub for Margot Robbie in the category of Best Actress in a Leading Role, much to fans’ dismay. As for the “Oppenhomies” as Robert Downey Jr. refers to them, the historical biopic has been nominated for 13 Academy Awards. But let’s be real, “Poor Things” might throw a spanner in the works for an “Oppenheimer” clean sweep.
It might be all about movies at the Academy Awards but one thing we’re really keeping an eye on is the fashion. In the past, the Oscars treated us to Zendaya’s Valentino button up and sequinned skirt in 2022, 2002 Halle Berry in a sheer Elie Saab gown to make history as the first Black woman to win Best Actress and how could we forget every single glittering Cher look. Famously, the celebrities bring it and so far, the Oscars 2024 red carpet is proving that nothing’s changed.
If you’re on the look out for where to watch the Oscars in Australia, catch the glitz, glam and fashion on Monday, March 11 2024 on Channel 7 and 7Plus. The red carpet kicks off at 9:30am and the ceremony will take place shortly after. Taking on the evening’s hosting duties for the fourth time is late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.
Here are all of the best looks from the Oscars 2024 red carpet.
