Oscars 2024: The 39 Moments You Need To See From This Year's Awards
Of course, for even the most devoted of film fans, the idea of staying up all night to follow the action live can be a little off-putting, meaning lots of us might miss the annual ceremony.
Fortunately for you, we were following the whole thing as it happened, and we’ve rounded up 39 of the night’s stand-out moments.
Here’s what you missed at the 2024 Oscars...
1. Vanessa Hudgens debuted a pregnancy bump – announcing that she’s pregnant with her first child!
2. Poor Liza Koshy... The collective ‘OHHHHHH’
