Oscars 2024 recap: Biggest moments from the 96th Academy Awards

Justine Triet and Arthur Harari won the Oscar for best original screenplay for the film "Anatomy of a Fall," accepting the award from Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy.

In her opening remarks, Triet joked that winning an Oscar will "help me through my mid-life crisis, I think."

She recalled beginning to write "Anatomy of a Fall" with Harari, her husband, when they were stuck at home with their two kids during the COVID-19 lockdown, saying, "There was no line, I think, between work and diapers."

Triet also gave a shoutout to the film's star, Sandra Hüller, and the rest of the cast.

Other nominees in the category included David Hemingson for "The Holdovers," Bradley Cooper and Josh Singer for "Maestro," Samy Burch and Alex Mechanik for "May December" and Celine Song for "Past Lives."

“The Boy and the Heron” won the Oscar for best animated feature film. Presenters Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth accepted the award on behalf of director and writer Hayao Miyazaki and producer Toshio Suzuki.

Other nominees in the category included “Elemental,” “Nimona,” “Robot Dreams” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.”

Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth presented the Oscar for best animated short film to "War Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko."

Dave Mullins and Brad Booker accepted the award onstage. "John Lennon and Yoko Ono wrote a song that inspired us, that is an anti-war message that we tried to honor with this film," Mullins said.

Other nominees in the category included "Letter to a Pig," "Ninety-Five Senses," "Our Uniform" and "Pachyderme."

Da'Vine Joy Randolph won the Academy Award for best supporting actress.

Randolph took home the award for her performance as Mary Lamb in director Alexander Payne's "The Holdovers."

During her acceptance speech, she thanked those who believed in her, including her mother.

"God is so good, God is so good," she began. "You know, I didn't think I was supposed to be doing this as a career. I started off as a singer. And my mother said to me, 'Go across that street to that theatre department, there's something for you there.' And I thank my mother for doing that."

"I thank all the people who have stepped in my path and have been there for me, who have ushered me and guided me," she continued. "I am so grateful to all you beautiful people out here. For so long, I've always wanted to be different, and now I realize I just need to be myself. And I thank you. I thank you for seeing me."

The award was introduced by previous Oscar winners in the category, including Jamie Lee Curtis, Lupita Nyong'o, Mary Steenburgen, Rita Moreno and Regina King. They all shared words honoring each nominee before the Oscar was given to Randolph.

Other nominees up for best supporting actor this year included Emily Blunt for "Oppenheimer," Danielle Brooks for "The Color Purple," America Ferrera for "Barbie" and Jodie Foster for "Nyad."
