What movie has the most Oscar nominations this year?
“Oppenheimer” has the most 2024 Oscar nominations with 13: Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr., Best Supporting Actress for Emily Blunt, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Score, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Sound, Best Hair and Makeup.
Who is hosting the Oscars?
Jimmy Kimmel is the host of the 2024 Oscars, the fourth time he’ll take the stage as emcee.
Who are the Oscar presenters this year?
The first slate of 2024 Oscar presenters was announced on February 26: Mahershala Ali, Nicolas Cage, Jamie Lee Curtis, Brendan Fraser, Jessica Lange, Matthew McConaughey, Lupita Nyong’o, Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ke Huy Quan, Sam Rockwell, Michelle Yeoh and Zendaya will present at the 96th Oscars. Fraser, Yeoh, Quan, and Curtis were last year’s acting winners.
The second slate of 2024 Oscar presenters was announced on February 29: Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Dwayne Johnson, Michael Keaton, Regina King, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate McKinnon, Rita Moreno, John Mulaney, Catherine O’Hara, Octavia Spencer, and Ramy Youssef.
The third and final slate of 2024 Oscar presenters was announced on March 5: Emily Blunt, Cynthia Erivo, America Ferrera, Sally Field, Ryan Gosling, Ariana Grande, Ben Kingsley, Melissa McCarthy, Issa Rae, Tim Robbins, Steven Spielberg, Mary Steenburgen, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlize Theron, Christoph Waltz, and Forest Whitaker.
As The Hollywood Reporter revealed on February 27, each acting Oscar will be announced by a group of five previous Oscar winners in the respective category — a callback to the 2009 ceremony. At the moment, here is how those categories could shake out:
Best Actor: Cage, Kingsley, Fraser, McConaughey, Pacino, Whitaker (there are six past Best Actor winners announced as presenters meaning one of these men will presumably handle another category)
Best Actress: Field, Lange, Lawrence, Theron, Yeoh
Best Supporting Actor: Ali, Quan, Robbins, Rockwell, Waltz
Best Supporting Actress: Curtis, King, Moreno, Nyong’o, Spencer, Steenburgen (there are six past Best Supporting Actress winners announced as presenters meaning one of these women will presumably handle another category)
It is not known which past Oscar winner would introduce which 2024 Oscar nominee.

Why is it called the Oscars?
The Academy Awards trophy is officially called the Academy Award of Merit. But everyone knows the statue and ceremony by its unofficial nickname: the Oscars. Why is the statue called an Oscar? According to the official Academy Awards website, “While the origins of the moniker aren’t clear, a popular story has it that upon seeing the trophy for the first time, Academy librarian (and eventual executive director) Margaret Herrick remarked that it resembled her Uncle Oscar. The Academy didn’t adopt the nickname officially until 1939, but it was widely known enough by 1934 that Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used it in a piece referring to Katharine Hepburn’s first Best Actress win.” Some other notes about the Oscars statue: it weighs just over eight-and-a-half pounds and stands 13 and a half inches tall.
