Biggest Winners Of 2024
1. Oppenheimer
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer swept the awards season by getting their hands on most trophies across the ceremonies. The winning streak began with the Golden Globes, where the film won in five categories. Cillian Murphy led the best actor list, while Nolan won best director. The streak continued across the BAFTAs, too, as the story of Robert Oppenheimer grabbed seven awards. It was also a big win for the film at the SAG Awards. With the Oscars approaching, watching if the team could continue with the winning spirit would be interesting.
2. Lily Gladstone
The Killers of the Flower Moon’s leading lady emerged as a winner in the best actress category in multiple award ceremonies. Lily Gladstone picked up a total of four awards for her character, Mollie Burkhart, in the film. Gladstone left behind all the other nominations as she grabbed the SAG Awards, a Golden Globe, and the Gotham Awards and was also recognized for her work at the National Board of Review. The actress had been competing against Emma Stone, Margot Robbie, and Carey Mulligan, amongst others. The next target would surely be the Oscars.
3. The Bear
The Bear leads the TV categories in most of the award shows. The comedy-drama series won at all the major ceremonies, including the Emmy Awards, SAGs, Golden Globes, and Critic’s Choice, among others. Ayo Edibiri was considered the winner in the supporting actress categories across the show, while Jeremy Allen White led in the best actor category. The show as a whole, too, won the award for Outstanding Comedy Series at the Emmys and Golden Globes.
4. Poor Things
Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo starrer won big awards at the shows. Poor Things stood strong against Oppenheimer in most of the award nominations. The movie bagged multiple accolades, including Critic's Choice, the BAFTA Awards, and the Golden Globes. The most trophies the movie cast members picked up were at the BAFTAs, where Emma Stone got her hands on the Best Actress award. The film will be in the spotlight among the other nobles as it managed to grab eleven nominations at the Oscars.
5. Da'Vine Joy Randolph
The Holdovers was one of the films in the spotlight at the award ceremonies. Though the movie did not do too well at the shows, Da’Vine Joy Randolph stood out among them all. The actress was awarded the Best Supporting Role category at the Astra Film Awards, the BAFTAs, the SAGs, and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

The film has bagged seven nominations at the Academy Awards, and the actor would look forward to it.
3. Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
The comedy-drama series that followed the story of one of the first female comics was up for nominations at multiple award shows. While the previous seasons of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel picked up various awards, the final season was left behind at the ceremonies. The Bear gave tough competition to the series by bagging most of the awards from the hands of the show. Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein were the two ladies on the selection list, while the other cast members were ruled out.
4. Only Murders In The Building
With Meryl Streep joining the cast of Only Murders in the Building, the show grabbed the attention of the viewers at the award ceremony.

Paul Rudd entered the show to add spice to the mystery and laughs.
5. Leonardo DiCaprio
While the Killers of the Flower Moon's leading lady emerged as the winner in multiple award shows, Leonardo DiCaprio missed his chance of picking up the trophies.
