The 96th Academy Awards ended with seven prizes for Christopher Nolan's atomic bomb drama Oppenheimer, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr.

Among other highlights of this year's Oscars were Ryan Gosling's live performance to the Barbie ballad I'm Just Ken. He was joined by Guns N Roses legend Slash, guitarist Wolfgang Van Halen, and actors Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Ncuti Gtwa and Scott Evans. Other than that, RRR was also a part of the stunts reel that was shared during this year's ceremony. It was a part of a tribute given to stunt coordinators. Did we mention when John Cena attended the ceremony as a presenter at the Oscars?
