The 2024 Oscars are buzzin’ with chatter, y’all. ‘Barbie’, ‘Oppenheimer’, and ‘Poor Things’—they’re the big shots gunnin’ for Best Picture. But hey, they ain’t the only contenders in this rodeo. We’ve got ‘American Fiction’, ‘Anatomy of a Fall’, and a bunch more struttin’ their stuff.
Now, here’s a slice of history for ya. For the first time ever, we’ve got not one, not two, but three flicks directed by women in the Best Picture lineup. That’s what Variety’s shoutin’ from the rooftops. And the glitz and glam? It’s all goin’ down on March 10, right in the heart of Los Angeles.
Last year’s shindig? Oh, it was a doozy. ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ scooped up the Best Picture like a champ. The tunes? Courtesy of Son Lux. And the cast? They cleaned house with Oscars left and right – Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis, they all nabbed one. Plus, they snagged the gold for Best Directing, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Screenplay to boot.
