British director Jonathan Glazer's speech at the Oscars turned the celebrity world upside down. Glazer rejected that his Jewishness be used to justify stripping people of their humanity and permitting their killing.

The telecast of the 96th Annual Academy Awards broadcast on March 14, 2024 was watched by up to 19.5 million people. The next day, the media is usually preoccupied with what has been said about what the presenters and attendees look and wear, who behaved poorly, and who won an Oscar.
