The highly anticipated and most-awaited 96th Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. Jimmy Kimmel, the show's host, took a moment at the Oscars, just before Al Pacino presented Best Picture, to read aloud Donald Trump's most recent social media slamming Jimmy Kimmel for hosting this year's Oscars. This year marked Jimmy's fourth time hosting the Oscars.

Apart from Jimmy Kimmel's dig before the final prize was given, the 2024 Oscars were fairly Trump-free. However, politics continued to play a significant role. Many Oscar-goers, like Mark Ruffalo and Billie Eilish, wore red pins to show their support for a Gaza ceasefire. Protests about the ongoing crisis in Gaza drove hundreds of people to the Kodak Theater, causing so much traffic that the event began five minutes late.
