Hollywood’s biggest night of the year has come to a close yet again, with this year's Academy Awards giving us plenty to think about, and plenty of Monday morning office gossip. Don’t worry if you missed out on all the glamour though, as we stayed up extra late so we could share everything you need to know about this year's winners and where to watch them.

The bookies will have woken up happy this morning, as front-runner Oppenheimer did, in fact, sweep the awards as predicted, although it didn’t get quite as many statutes as some would have thought. The historic biopic snapped up four of the biggest awards of the night with Christopher Nolan winning Best Director, Cillian Murphy winning Best Actor in a Lead Role, Robert Downey Jr. winning Best Supporting Actor and, of course, Best Picture, meaning it walked away with an impressive seven of its 13 nominations.

It was Poor Things, the wacky comedy-drama, that won many of the awards that were assumed to go to Oppenheimer, taking home a respectable four of its 11 nominations. Meanwhile, arguably the biggest film of last year walked away with just one award, as Barbie snagged Best Original Song thanks to the hauntingly beautiful musical stylings of Billie Eilish and her brother Phineas, making it the singer's second Oscar before the age of 23.

As always there was a lot more to talk about than just the statues. The ceremony gave us many firsts, like Cillian Murphy becoming the first Irishman to win Lead Actor, both iconic directors Wes Anderson and Christopher Nolan shockingly receiving their first-ever Oscars, and Zone of Interest becoming the first British movie to win Best International Film.

If that isn't enough to entice you, here is everything you need to know about how to watch this year's Oscar winners.

This year's Best Picture winner, Oppenheimer, came out on top, winning half of its nominated categories, and four of the biggest awards of the night. Despite an illustruious and iconic film career, this was in fact a first win for director Christopher Nolan, who also picked up the statues alongside producer/wife Emma Thomas. The film is now available for all to see on the majority of streaming sites.

Despite being the highest-grossing film of 2023, breaking countless records and out-selling Oppenheimer, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie was arguably snubbed when it came to Oscar nominations and ended the night with one statue for the song“What Was I Made For” by Billie Eilish and her brother, Phineas. That being said, Barbie provided some of the biggest highlights throughout the ceremony, we really can’t talk enough about Ryan Gosling’s pink leather-clad performance.

A fan favourite of the night, Japan took home the win for Best Visual Effects, thanks to the iconic city-destroying monster. Crowds were delighted when the acceptees of the award took to the stage grasping miniature Godzillas along with their new Oscars. Sadly there have been no announcements about the film’s streaming destination yet, so the best chance to catch the epic blockbuster is by finding a screening near you at your local Vue or Odeon.

How to watch The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

The much loved auteur director Wes Anderson won his first Oscar last night, after receiving eight nominations for awards over the last 22 years.
