Sunday night March 10, 2024 the Academy celebrated the 96th celebration of the Oscars, at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.

Hollywood’s biggest night of the year for actors and actresses.

Television host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel was the host for the Oscars night, for his fourth time.

Nominations were announced on January 23, 2024, where we were able to see nominees that participated in movies like Oppenheimer, Maestro, The Zone of Interest, Poor Things and documentaries like The Last Repair Shop.

Oppenheimer led with the most nominations, 13 in total, followed by Poor Things with 11 nominations.

Along with these movies, Killers of the Flower Moon was the third movie to receive a lot of praise.

Oppenheimer won the most Oscars, with seven out of 13.

The event was praised by many with presentations from artists such as Ryan Gosling, Jon Batiste, Becky G, and Billie Eilish.

We look forward to next year’s Academy awards to recognize all the upcoming movies.

About the Contributor

Emily Aguilar, Staff Reporter

Hello, my name is Emily Aguilar, I am a Senior at Loretto Academy, and this is my third and last year at Loretto.

During my years of high school, I discovered my passion for writing and reporting.

This is the first time I am reporting for a newspaper and it is an honor to be able to do it with a team of talented classmates through the school's newspaper, The Prax.

Apart from writing I love reading and I enjoy investigating.

What I want to take from this year is the experience and hopefully expand my writing and reporting skills.

My plans after high school are to move with my parents and start full-time working in their businesses so I can expand my experience.

After settling my position at their companies, I intend to go to college and hopefully study more than one career.

I am eager to begin writing for The Prax!
