Oscars 2024: Nominees In Position To Make History With Their Win

As the grand finale of the awards season approaches, anticipation surges for the 96th Academy Awards, set to dazzle audiences on Sunday, March 10, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Jimmy Kimmel returns as host for the fourth consecutive year, promising a night of glitz and glamour.

This year’s Oscars Oscars hold the promise of several groundbreaking moments. Renowned director Martin Scorsese stands to make history with his film ‘The Killers of the Flower Moon,’ as he vies for the Best Director award. Additionally, Lilly Gladstone’s stellar performance in the same film could mark a historic win, potentially making her the first Native American woman to claim an Oscar. Christopher Nolan’s epic ‘Oppenheimer’ boats an impressive 13 nominations, poised to potentially set a new record for the most wins by a single film in Oscar history.

Let’s delve into the potential milestones awaiting us at this year’s ceremony

Sandra Huller

Recognised for her role in ‘Anatomy of a Fall,’ Sandra Huller aims to break barriers. A win in the Best Actress category would make her the first German-born actress to claim the honour in over six decades.

Lily Gladstone

After garnering acclaim at prestigious events like the Golden Globes and BAFTA, Lily Gladstone aims to etch her name in Oscar history. Her standout performance in ‘The Killers of the Flower Moon’ could make her the first Native American woman to win the Best Actress award.

Christopher Nolan

With a staggering 13 nominations across major categories, including Best Director for Nolan and Best Actor for Cillian Murphy (From Cillian Murphy To Emily Blunt: Get To Know The Impressive Cast of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer), ‘Oppenheimer’ holds the promise of rewriting Oscar history. Should it sweep awards, it could surpass the current record of 11 wins, held by classics like ‘Ben-Hur,’ ‘Titanic,’ and ‘Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.’

Colman Domingo

With a nomination for Best Actor for his role in ‘Rustin,’ Colman Domingo eyes a historic victory. Should he triumph, he would be the first Afro-Latino descent actor to clinch the prestigious trophy in the category.
