Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo both walked the 2024 Oscars red carpet channeling their Wicked characters Sunday night (March 10). The pair, presenters at this year’s awards ceremony and co-stars in the upcoming film adaptation of the musical Wicked — in which Grande portrays Glinda and Erivo portrays Elphaba — arrived in shades of pink […]
As one of the world’s biggest global music stars, it was only fitting that Bad Bunny helped present best international feature film at the 2024 Oscars on Sunday (March 10) — which just so happens to be the “MIA” artist’s birthday.
Taking the stage alongside Dwayne Johnson at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, the Puerto Rican artist began his portion of the presentation by speaking in Spanish. He poignantly noted, “Cinema is a universal language,” after which The Rock joked, “See? He’s not such a bad bunny.”
Then, after running through the category’s nominees, Benito — looking dapper in a black suit ensemble — got to read the winner off of the cue card. “And the Oscar goes to The Zone of Interest!” he declared, switching over to English.

Johnson — who charted on the Billboard Hot 100 with his 2016 Moana song “You’re Welcome” — also made sure to wish the singer-rapper, who turned 30 on March 10, a happy birthday.
Directed by Jonathan Glazer, the winning film takes place in German-occupied Poland during World War II, where “Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden beside the camp,” according to IMDb.
Brought to theater screens from a U.K. production team, Zone of Interest beat out Italy’s Io Capitano, Japan’s Perfect Days, Spain’s Society of the Snow and Germany’s The Teachers’ Lounge. It marks the first British film to win best international film at the Oscars.
During his acceptance speech, Glazer took a moment to remind the audience about the ongoing violence in the Middle East. “Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has lead to conflict for so many innocent people, whether the victims of Oct. 7 in Israel or the ongoing attack in Gaza,” he said.
In October, Bad Bunny released his fifth studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. The 22-track project debuted atop the Billboard 200.

The Oscars are here, and many are hate watching just for the sake of complaining what actor of color got jerked. It is what it is, and sometimes they do get it right, and here are the Black actors we’re rooting for that actually won.
After the 2016 #OscarsSoWhite hashtag went viral, thanks to April Reign, the Academy took notice and began to diversify its members. While they may have gotten a little better at making sure actors of color get their do, it’s not by much.
But here’s who won in 2024, so far.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph won for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her star-making turn at Mary Lamb in The Holdovers. It is her first Oscar.
Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction won for Best Adapted Screenplay. Splendid.
And that’s it, so far…
At Sunday’s (March 10) 2024 Oscars, Scott George led a powerful performance with the Osage Tribal Singers of “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People),” his nominated song from Killers of the Flower Moon. A scene from the Martin Scorsese-directed film introduced the performance, leading into a wide shot of a large drum that had nine […]
Sunday (March 10) marked the date of the 2024 Oscars, but it’s also Mother’s Day in the U.K. And during Dave Mullins and Brad Booker’s emotional best animated short win for WAR IS OVER! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko, Sean Ono Lennon — the son of Yoko Ono and late Beatles legend […]
The mood of the 2024 Oscars turned a bit existential when Billie Eilish and Finneas took the Dolby Theatre stage in Los Angeles Sunday night (March 10), impressing the crowd with an angelic performance of their Barbie soundtrack hit “What Was I Made For?”
Dressed in an oversized black-and-white tweed jacket, white shirt, pink neck bow and long black skirt, the fresh-faced 22-year-old pop star turned in a delicate rendition of the song as Finneas accompanied her on the piano as the stage was bathed in Barbie-pink lighting. The nine-time Grammy winner’s soft, emotional vocals were highlighted by the sparse piano accompaniment, then elevated even more as an orchestra kicked in midsong.
“Taking a drive, I was an ideal/ Looked so alive, turns out I’m not real,” Eilish sang. “Just something you paid for/ What was I made for?”

After the performance, Finneas turned from the piano and clapped for his sister, while the audience — including Barbie director Greta Gerwig and stars Margot Robbie, America Ferrera and Kate McKinnon — gave her a standing ovation. Fellow pop superstar Ariana Grande, who is a 2024 Oscars presenter and dressed in Barbie pink, also got up on her feet to cheer the set.
The track is one of five best original song nominees this year, along with Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson’s fellow Barbie ballad “I’m Just Ken,” Becky G‘s “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot, Jon Batiste‘s “It Never Went Away” from American Symphony and Scott George and the Osage Singers’ “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” from Killers of the Flower Moon. Eilish and her brother previously won the category in 2022 for their James Bond franchise hit “No Time to Die.”
In February, the siblings won song of the year at the 2024 Grammys with “What Was I Made For?,” putting them in a rare class of artists to score major nominations for the same song from both the Recording Academy and the Oscars. “That was a crazy list of incredible people, incredible artists, incredible music,” Eilish said while accepting the award.
“I feel crazy right now,” she added at the time. “Thank you to my brother who’s my best friend in the world and makes me the person that I am today.”
The stars shined bright in their best looks on Hollywood’s Biggest Night on Sunday, March 10, as they descended upon the 2024 Oscars red carpet at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles. Among the early arrivals for the 96th annual Academy Awards were members of the Osage Nation, who are performing “Wahzhazhe […]

She accentuated her shape […]
