Judging from the results of this year's awards, there are almost no upsets to speak of, but the competition between evenly matched nominees is still interesting. Let’s take a look at the most fiercely contested Best Actress award first. In the end, Emma Stone defeated Lily Gladstone of "Killers of the Flower Moon" for "Poor Thing" and won her second Oscar for Best Actress after "La La Land".

In the field of best animated feature film, according to various previous predictions, "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" was slightly ahead, but the final winner was Hayao Miyazaki's "How Do You Want to Live" - Hayao Miyazaki himself and Producer Toshio Suzuki didn't even come to the scene.
Shortly after the award was awarded, actor Shameik Moore, who voiced Miles in "Spider-Man: Across the Universe," posted "robbed" on his personal social media. The screenwriter and producer of the film responded on social media: "If you want to lose, let's lose to the top player."
In addition, "Zone of Interest" defeated "Oppenheimer" to win the Best Sound Award, which is quite extraordinary for a low-cost film. "American Novel" came from behind during this awards season, defeating the two favorites "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie" to win the Best Adapted Screenplay Award.
Although this year's Oscars ceremony started earlier than in previous years, the entire process still lasted nearly three and a half hours. The first is the endless opening remarks of this year.
Jimmy Kimmel, who served as the host for the fourth time, not only specifically mentioned last year's two popular movies "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer", but also introduced Macy, the dog who performed superbly in "Judgment" - —There was originally news that Messi was unable to attend the award ceremony because he was too good at stealing the spotlight and was complained by competitors. Now it seems to be groundless.
Kimmel also mentioned some interesting aspects of this year. For example, Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, and Martin Scorsese, who were nominated for the Oscar for "Taxi Driver" back then, were all nominated this year; among the ten shortlisted works for the Best Picture Award, Three of the films have non-English dialogue, which is the first time in history. It was also mentioned that the next Best Casting Director Award will be added and last year's Hollywood strike was mentioned.
This year's performance awards were presented together by five actors who had won the same award in the past. These five also served as introducers to the nominees, so the presentation time for the performance awards was increased a lot.
As for the most eye-catching awards moment, it was undoubtedly John Cena, nicknamed "Xina Zhao" by Chinese fans, who appeared naked on stage to "pay tribute" to the accidental streaking incident that occurred at the Oscars 50 years ago. Then he quickly changed his costume and presented the final award. Best Costume Design Award. As for whether the above designs will help improve the Oscar's declining ratings, we have to wait until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to let the data speak for itself.
