Oscars 2024 biggest moments: Ryan Gosling's epic 'I'm Just Ken' performance, inside details from Elton John's party and more

And the Oscar for Best Visual Effects goes to...Godzilla Minus One, specifically Takashi Yamazaki, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi, and Tatsuji Nojima.

The group made a splash on the red carpet when they appeared with a tiny gold Godzilla figurine, who even wore a bowtie to be as snazzy as everyone else on the carpet (and it was). Their win was clearly a crowd favorite, receiving enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

And the Oscar for Best Film Editing goes to...Oppenheimer, specifically Jennifer Lame, becoming only the second win so far for the movie that's expected to dominate the night.

Not a commercial for The Eras Tour as the Oscars go to commercial... Taylor Swift is really coming for the entire world.

Grammy-winning singer and performer Jon Batiste put on a beautiful show with his Oscar-nominated track "It Never Went Away" from the documentary American Symphony, which captures a year of his personal and professional life.

And the Oscar for Best Documentary Short Film is...The Last Repair Shop, specifically for Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers.

And the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film goes to...20 Days in Mariupol, specifically for Mstyslav Chernov, Michelle Mizner, and Raney Aronson-Rath. Director Chernov made a powerful speech, celebrating Ukraine's first ever win in the category while decrying Russia's invasion of the country, leaving the audience somber.

Nadia Stacey, the British make-up artist who won the Oscar for her work on Poor Things shared where the party is at tonight -- with Poor Things' cinematographer Robbie Ryan, who she said throws the best parties. 

Find us there with the champagne.

And the Oscar for Best Cinematography goes to...Oppenheimer, specifically Hoyte van Hoytema, who has frequently collaborated with Christopher Nolan and was last nominated for one of his movies, Dunkirk.

And the Oscar for Best Short Action Film goes to...The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, by Wes Anderson and Steven Rales. While acclaimed director Anderson wasn't in attendance to accept, he finally takes home his first Oscar after eight nominations, beginning way back in 2001.

Becky G took to the Oscars stage for a surprisingly brief performance (seems like a running theme looking at Jon Batiste's performance, no?) of "The Fire Inside" from the Eva Longoria-helmed film Flamin' Hot, penned by perennial Oscar favorite Diane Warren, and suitably hit the notes against a backdrop of flames.

Wes Anderson has never won an Oscar after eight nominations but he has finally won for Live Action Short - and he's not even there to collect.

I feel very sad for Wes. 

And the Oscar for Best Sound (after a dig at the hilarious Madame Webb courtesy of John Mulaney) goes to...The Zone of Interest, specifically Tarn Willers and Johnnie Burn.

Ryan Gosling shut down the ceremony in totality with his bombastic rendition of "I'm Just Ken" with co-writer and producer Mark Ronson, starting his set from the audience to a blushing Margot Robbie and Billie Eilish.

He took to the stage and was joined by other members of the Ken-dom in the Barbie movie, including Ncuti Gatwa and Simu Liu, before taking his show to the audience, singing with his co-stars (and an enthusiastic Emma Stone), and ending with a parade of original Barbie masks and a guitar solo from none other than Slash.

Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande presented the Score and Soundtrack awards, with the Oscar for Best Original Score going to...Oppenheimer's Ludwig Göransson, as he has done all season long.

And the Oscar for Best Original Song goes to...Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell for "What Was I Made For?" from the Barbie soundtrack, the second Oscar for the sibling duo after No Time to Die's title track.

The members of the film and TV industry we lost in the past year were honored with a touching In Memoriam segment with live orchestration and and an operatic arrangement, honoring the likes of Glenda Jackson, Carl Weathers, Michael Gambon, Alan Arkin, Harry Belafonte, Matthew Perry, and many more.

The way my heart just stopped thinking Jimmy Kimmel was telling the truth about NSync coming out...

Nicolas Cage, Matthew McConaughey, Brendan Fraser, Ben Kingsley, and Forest Whittaker (STACKED!) came out to present the Oscar for Best Actor to...Cillian Murphy for Oppenheimer (which included a sweet kiss for his wife, learn more about their relationship below...)

Cillian finally breaks out of a season-long battle with his closest competitor, The Holdovers' Paul Giamatti. And in the process, becomes the first Irish-born actor to win the prize.

And the Oscar for Best Director (presented by LEGEND Steven Spielberg) goes to...Christopher Nolan for Oppenheimer, a win that has been coming all season long, but a well deserved one all the same!

The filmmaker has received eight nominations throughout his career and finally takes a prize home (and is touted to take home one more as producer on Oppenheimer, a favorite for Best Picture). He also sweetly shouted out his wife Emma Thomas for being the "producer of four hour films and all our children). Read more about their sweet bond below...

Past Best Actress Oscar winners Sally Field, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron, Jessica Lange, and previous year's winner Michelle Yeoh come (icons only) came together to present this year's Best Actress trophy to...Emma Stone in Poor Things!

The honor makes Emma the 27th actor to win two acting Oscars, winning her first in the category for La La Land. The star joked about her dress breaking, saying it happened during "I'm Just Ken," and lovingly closed out her speech by thanking her family, including husband Dave McCary and their daughter. Read more about them below...

Al Pacino presented the final award for Best Picture, in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of The Godfather Part II's victory, and the top prize went to...Oppenheimer!

It's an early Easter miracle!

Thank you for sticking around with us for tonight's Oscars race! We hope you had fun, we most certainly did!

While I'm wrapping up on updates from the show (well, it's over, there's only so much I can add), we will have some more coming in from the winners room, so keep checking this space for more! But for now, from the Dolby Theater, signing off!

Or am I just numb now?

We're still waiting for (hopefully) Emma Stone, Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr and the crew of Oppenheimer to join us...

Turns out Christopher went to school with a journalist in this room, and now they are discussing 'Trotsky Turnball,' their History teacher.

Amazing.

"I think as with any story you have to go through a process of looking at all the details... and trying to settle on what is practical to tell," Christopher said of the challenges he faced in what to leave out and what to keep in.,

"I was guided by my initial emotional reaction..  but one particular issue in that struggle [was] there were facets in all the characters,  there were so my characters who could have a film made about their life, so it was a constant struggle."

Cillian notoriously isn't a fan of the "Hollywood" of it all, but he answered several questions, and seemed genuinely overwhelmed.

"It's really really meaningful to me," to be the first Irish-born Oscar winner, he said, "and I don't know if I said this in my speech - I cant remember what I said -  but I did want to say, that I think in Ireland we are great at supporting artists and we need to continue to support the next generation, and that's all I have to say."

"They sewed me back in! I genuinely think I busted it during 'I'm Just Ken,'  Ryan just blew my mind and things happened!"
