Summary
- Oppenheimer and Poor Things dominated the 2024 Oscars, winning seven and four awards respectively.
- Redoing the Oscars so each movie can only win one Oscar changes the outcomes of many categories.
- Some categories remain the same, but many others get different winners.
The 2024 Oscars were dominated by Oppenheimer and Poor Things, and the Academy Awards would look very different if each movie could only win one Oscar. The 96th Academy Awards was one of the biggest in recent memory. Thanks to box office hits like Oppenheimer and Barbie contending in multiple categories, interest was much higher than the rest of this decade. It also helped that new movies from Martin Scorsese and Yorgos Lanthimos racked up nominations. Ultimately, it was Oppenheimer's 13 nominations and seven Oscar wins that led the way during the actual ceremony.
Oppenheimer's seven wins at the 2024 Oscars was only comparable for Poor Things, which won four awards. This means that of the 19 categories for feature films, Oppenheimer and Poor Things were responsible for winning all but eight. The remaining eight categories all went to different movies, meaning only 10 of the 33 movies nominated for Oscars won an award this year. This meant some major shutouts like Killers of the Flower Moon losing all 10 nominations. While each winner was deserving, redoing the 2024 Oscars so each movie can only win once spreads out the love.
How Many Oscars Christopher Nolan Has Won
Christopher Nolan is often regarded as one of the best filmmakers of this generation, but how many Academy Awards nominations and wins does he have?The Redoing Oscars Rules:
- Each movie can only win one Oscar. Once a movie is given an Academy Award, it is ineligible for all other categories.
- The original Oscar nominees are used to determine winners. In a situation where all nominees have already won in other categories, another eligible movie from the same year can be selected.

Best Picture: Oppenheimer
Oppenheimer hangs on to its Best Picture win
Oppenheimer winning Best Picture is the best way to stay true to how the 2024 Oscars played out and give the most dominant movie the biggest award. Christopher Nolan's movie was long viewed as the frontrunner for the category and never lost any steam. In a situation where the movie could only win one Oscar, Best Picture makes the most sense for Oppenheimer. This does create several challenges, though, as the movie is now ineligible to win in 12 other categories, including those it won in real life, like Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.
Best Director: Martin Scorsese (Killers of the Flower Moon)
Scorsese replaces Christopher Nolan to get his second directing Oscar
Christopher Nolan won Best Director in real life, but the award now goes to Martin Scorsese for his work on Killers of the Flower Moon since Nolan becomes ineligible. This outcome would have finally given Scorsese his second Best Director Oscar. He's only won the category once before with The Departed despite 10 nominations. With Killers of the Flower Moon heralded as another masterpiece, its only right to acknowledge his filmmaking ability here. This does rule out the movie from winning in eight upcoming categories, like Lily Gladstone for Best Actress, but Scorses is due for another Oscar win now.
How Many Oscars Martin Scorsese Has Won
Martin Scorsese is one of the most celebrated directors of all time, and his long list of accolades is proof of this, but how many wins does he have?Best Actor: Bradley Cooper (Maestro)
Cillian Murphy was the original winner
Since Cillian Murphy is not eligible for the award, the best outcome when redoing the 2024 Oscars is for Bradley Cooper to win Best Actor for Maestro. His movie did not win a single award at the real Academy Awards, extending Bradley Cooper's Oscars losing streak to zero wins in 12 nominations, five of which came for acting. While this award could also go to Colman Domingo for Rustin, Cooper has the body of work and prior nominations to make this Oscar win past due. This does rule Maestro out of five additional categories, but its star gets a major win.
Best Actress: Annette Bening (Nyad)
Emma Stone loses her second Oscar win
Nyad
-
- Director
- Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi , Jimmy Chin
- Release Date
- September 1, 2023
- Writers
- Julia Cox
- Runtime
- 121 Minutes
Even though real-life winner Emma Stone is not disqualified from the category yet due to Poor Things winning elsewhere, keeping her as the winner has too large of an impact to hold with Gladstone and Carey Mulligan already out of the running. That is why Annette Bening is selected to receive the Best Actress Oscar in this scenario, as Sandra Hüller winning would take Anatomy of a Fall out in later categories. Nyad only had two Oscar nominations, and Bening is more than deserving of her first Oscar win by now. She lost all four times she was nominated previously.
Best Supporting Actor: Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things)
Robert Downey Jr. is not eligible anymore
Poor Things
-
- Director
- Yorgos Lanthimos
- Release Date
- September 8, 2023
- Writers
- Tony McNamara
- Runtime
- 141 Minutes
Taking away Robert Downey Jr.'s Oscar win is difficult, but that has to happen based on Oppenheimer winning Best Picture. At this point, Robert De Niro is the only other nominee disqualified, leaving Ryan Gosling, Sterling K. Brown, and Mark Ruffalo to win. Due to Barbie and American Fiction's nominations elsewhere, it is Ruffalo who now becomes responsible for Poor Things' lone Oscar win. He gives a strong performance as Duncan Wedderburn, so the fact that Mark Ruffalo did not win from his previous three Oscar nominations gives him a strong case to win now.
Best Supporting Actress: Da'Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers)
She holds onto her first Oscar win
The Holdovers
-
- Director
- Alexander Payne
- Release Date
- November 10, 2023
- Writers
- David Hemingson
- Cast
- Paul Giamatti , Da'Vine Joy Randolph , Dominic Sessa , Carrie Preston
- Runtime
- 133 Minutes
Da'Vine Joy Randolph won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar at the real awards show, and there is no reason to take it from her now. She became The Holdovers' best chance to win throughout awards season thanks to her powerful performance. Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple) and America Ferrera (Barbie) both were still eligible to win in the category. The Holdovers is only ruled out from two upcoming categories as a result. So unless Paul Giamatti was switched to win Best Actor, there is no significant reason to switch the winner here.
Best Adapted Screenplay: American Fiction
Cord Jefferson's movie keeps its Oscar
American Fiction
-
- Director
- Cord Jefferson
- Release Date
- September 8, 2023
- Writers
- Cord Jefferson
- Cast
- Jeffrey Wright , Tracee Ellis Ross , John Ortiz , erika alexander , Leslie Uggams , Adam Brody , Keith David , Issa Rae , Sterling K. Brown
- Runtime
- 117 Minutes
American Fiction won Best Adapted Screenplay in real life, and it makes sense to keep Cord Jefferson as the winner here. Oppenheimer and Poor Things are ineligible at this point, while Barbie and The Zone of Interest have other categories to win later on. However, this does not mean American Fiction wins Best Adapted Screenplay because it is a default answer. Jefferson's script is funny, insightful, and deals with important themes. His screenplay is more than deserving of winning this award, which is why it did in real life too.
Best Original Screenplay: Past Lives
Celine Song's script takes the Oscar from Anatomy of a Fall
Past Lives
-
- Director
- Celine Song
- Release Date
- January 21, 2023
- Writers
- Celine Song
- Cast
- Greta Lee , Teo Yoo , John Magaro
- Runtime
- 106 minutes
Instead of Anatomy of a Fall winning Best Original Screenplay, redoing the 2024 Oscars means that it can be given to Past Lives. Celine Song's moving romantic drama was a strong contender in the category and a clear favorite of the Academy as evident by its Best Picture nomination. With The Holdovers and Maestro ineligible at this point and May December not having as strong of a case to win, Past Lives replacing Anatomy of a Fall allows Song's script to get recognition now, while Justine Triet's movie can find a win elsewhere.
Best Animated Movie: The Boy and the Heron
Hayao Miyazaki keeps his Oscar
The Boy and the Heron
-
- Release Date
- July 14, 2023
- Cast
- Soma Santoki , Masaki Suda , Aimyon , Shōhei Hino , Kô Shibasaki , Takuya Kimura , Yoshino Kimura
- Runtime
- 124 Minutes
Redoing the 2024 Oscars is easy for Best Animated Movie, as The Boy and the Heron remains the winner. This is largely due to the fact that Hayao Miyazaki's movie and the other four nominees - Elemental, Nimona, Robot Dreams, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - did not receive any nominations in other categories. There is no reason then to swap out the official result here, especially since it gives a legendary filmmaker like Miyazaki another well-deserved Oscar win.
Best International Film: The Zone of Interest
Jonathan Glazer's movie retains its Oscar
The Zone of Interest
-
- Director
- Jonathan Glazer
- Release Date
- December 15, 2023
- Writers
- Jonathan Glazer
- Cast
- Christian Friedel , Sandra Hüller , Ralph Herforth , Luis Noah Witte , Johann Karthaus
- Runtime
- 105 Minutes
The Zone of Interest wins Best International Film in this hypothetical scenario just as it did during the real awards ceremony. Jonathan Glazer's movie was passed up in three previous categories - Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay - to keep this win the same. This does make The Zone of Interest ineligible for winning Best Sound as it did in real life, though. Since other International Film nominees - Io Capitano, Perfect Days, Society of the Snow, and The Teacher’s Lounge - don't have strong cases to switch the real results, it's best to leave this as it is.
Best Cinematography: El Conde
Oppenheimer originally won in this category
With each movie only eligible to win one Oscar, El Conde becomes the Best Cinematography winner in 2024. Pablo Larraín's movie was shot by longtime cinematographer Edward Lachman, who has two previous Oscar nominations for Carol and Far From Heaven. While he lost the award in real life, Lachman's stunning black-and-white imagery becomes the basis for his first win here. This is partially due to Oppenheimer, Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Maestro already winning their Oscars, but El Conde is nonetheless deserving of this recognition.
Best Editing: Anatomy Of A Fall
Oppenheimer is replaced by Anatomy of a Fall
Anatomy of a Fall
-
- Director
- Justine Triet
- Release Date
- August 23, 2023
- Writers
- Justine Triet , Arthur Harari
- Cast
- Sandra Hüller , Swann Arlaud , Milo Machado-Graner , Antoine Reinartz , Samuel Theis , Jehnny Beth , Saadia Bentaieb , Camille Rutherford , Anne Rotger , Sophie Fillières
- Runtime
- 150 Minutes
Anatomy of a Fall did not win Best Editing at the real Academy Awards, as its lone Oscar win came for Best Original Screenplay. However, with that award going to Past Lives in this scenario, Anatomy of a Fall now becomes the winner in Best Editing. Laurent Sénéchal was responsible for editing Justine Triet's movie, with this being her first Oscar nomination. Now, she becomes a hypothetical Oscar winner with Oppenheimer, Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, and The Holdovers all ineligible at this stage.
Best Production Design: Napoleon
Poor Things won the award originally
Poor Things dominated many of the below-the-line categories at the Oscars, but with the film now ineligible thanks to Mark Ruffalo's acting win, Napoleon steps into the winner's spot for Production Design. Production Designer Arthur Max and Set Decoration Elli Griff brought early 1800s architecture and interiors to life with great accuracy. As one of only three nominations for Napoleon, the film's win in this category is a chance to recognize another excellent part of an Oscar-nominated movie. The only other eligible nominee at this stage was Barbie.
Best Costume Design: Barbie
The movie featured several impeccable costumes

- July 21, 2023

- Margot Robbie , Ryan Gosling , Simu Liu , Ariana Greenblatt , Helen Mirren , Nicola Coughlan , John Cena , Will Ferrell , Ritu Arya , Michael Cera , America Ferrera , Alexandra Shipp , Kate McKinnon
- Runtime
- 114 Minutes
Barbie was a favorite of the Academy during the voting process for nominations, as the film collected eight nominations. One of the reasons why Barbie felt just like the Mattel dolls in live-action was through the incredible costume design led by Jacqueline Durran. Margot Robbie's Barbie outfits and Ryan Gosling's Ken outfits were stunning and worth recognizing in this fashion. With Barbie being the only eligible original nominee at this point, that does mean it winning Best Costume Design rules out "What Was I Made For?" and "I'm Just Ken" for Best Original Song.
16 Best Outfits From The Barbie Movie
Barbie hit the nail on the head with its many iconic costumes. Here are 16 of the movie's most memorable looks among all of the characters.Best Makeup & Hairstyling: Society of the Snow
Poor Things can't win again
Society of the Snow
-
- Director
- J.A. Bayona
- Release Date
- December 15, 2023
- Cast
- Matías Recalt , Agustin Pardella , Felipe González Otaño , Luciano Chatton , Valentino Alonso , Francisco Romero , Agustín Berruti , Andy Pruss
- Runtime
- 144 Minutes
Poor Things originally won Best Makeup & Hairstyling thanks to the stellar work done on the entire cast, but especially with Willem Dafoe's character. However, the film is now unavailable to win in the category, which opens up a spot to recognize the work done on Society of the Snow. Ana López-Puigcerver, David Martí, and Montse Ribé were all nominated for their contributions to bringing Society of the Snow's true story to life and transforming the cast to match the harsh conditions. Now, they get the Oscar in this hypothetical scenario.
Best Score: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
John Williams gets another Oscar at last
Another category that Oppenheimer originally won, Best Original Score is now open to go to the legendary John Williams for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. He is a five-time Oscar winner, but it has been 30 years since John Williams' last win for Schindler's List. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny marked his 22nd Best Score nomination since then. With Williams winding down his composing career and the Indiana Jones franchise coming to an end, it would be fitting to have him finally win an Oscar for one of his most iconic scores.
Best Original Song: American Symphony
Sorry, Barbie
The Best Original Song category at the 2024 Oscars was a surefire lock for Barbie to win thanks to its double nomination for "What Was I Made For?" and "I'm Just Ken." However, with Barbie already winning elsewhere, it unfortunately is eliminated from contention here. With Killers of the Flower Moon also already winning, that leaves American Symphony and Flamin' Hot to be the winner. While Flamin' Hot winning would finally give Diane Warren the award after 15 nominations, Jon Batiste's "It Never Went Away" is the stronger musical number.
Best Sound: The Creator
The Zone of Interest won the Oscar originally
The Creator
-
- Director
- Gareth Edwards
- Release Date
- September 29, 2023
- Writers
- Gareth Edwards
- Cast
- John David Washington , Gemma Chan , Ken Watanabe , Sturgill Simpson , Allison Janney , Madeleine Yuna Voyles
The 2024 Oscars made a great choice originally in selecting The Zone of Interest to win the Best Sound award, but the movie's Best International Film win makes it ineligible here. Oppenheimer and Maestro winning elsewhere leaves just The Creator and Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning. While both have strong cases, the work done by Ian Voigt, Erik Aadahl, Ethan Van der Ryn, Tom Ozanich, and Dean Zupancic on The Creator was very impressive.
Best Visual Effects: Godzilla Minus One
Godzilla remains the King of Visual Effects
Godzilla Minus One
-
- Director
- Takashi Yamazaki
- Release Date
- December 1, 2023
- Writers
- Takashi Yamazaki
- Cast
- Ryûnosuke Kamiki , Minami Hamabe , Yûki Yamada , Munetaka Aoki , Hidetaka Yoshioka , Sakura Andō , Kuranosuke Sasaki
- Runtime
- 125 Minutes
Godzilla Minus One won the Best Visual Effects Oscar in one of the most pleasant surprises of the ceremony to cap off its incredible run. As the first Oscar-winning Godzilla movie and the movie not having nominations elsewhere, it is only right to keep this award the same. Takashi Yamazaki, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi, and Tatsuji Nojima did an incredible job on the film's visual effects especially considering Godzilla Minus One's budget. The movie is more than deserving to keep this 2024 Oscars win.
