If you watched the Academy Awards last Sunday night, then you know Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer won seven awards, including Best Picture. The question in our 2024 Oscar 55" Smart 4K TV Contest was "What is your choice as the Winner of the Best Picture category?"
Dean Tilden chose Oppenheimer for Best Picture and was randomly selected out of the entrants who got the question correct out of a total 246,000 entries received. He will receive a 55" Smart 4K TV worth $500. For a full list of our contest winners, click here. If you'd like to enter one of our current contests, click here.
The 96th Academy Awards drew 19.5 million viewers, which was a four percent increase over last year's 18.76 million viewers and ranked the highest for the show in the past four years. It may have been the earlier time slot, with the ceremony starting at 7 p.m. EST rather than 8 p.m. EST, and ending well before 11 p.m. Or it could have been the fact that the box office hit Barbie was nominated for several awards and had performances for two of the songs included -- “What Was I Made For" by Billie Eilish, which won Best Song and the much-buzzed about "I'm Not Ken," sung by Ryan Gosling, who play Ken in the movie. He was joined onstage by several of his co-stars, including Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Scott Adams and Ncuti Gatwa.
