Give A Gift

Oscars 2024

This awards season had it all: Bradley Cooper spending six years in conducting school for a six-minute sequence that people pretended to care about; Cillian Murphy losing his title as Ireland’s Sweetheart to Ayo Edebiri; Barbie snubs probably heard around the ghost offices of the gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss co-working space, the Wing. All of that pandering and excitement and anger of the last cinematic calendar year came to a close with the 2024 Academy Awards on March 10. See all the winners here.
