Viewers worldwide held their breath in anticipation last night as the winners of the 96th Annual Academy Awards were unveiled. Not only a celebration of cinema but a means of shaping it, the annual Oscar's event was held at the Dolby Theatre on March 10th 2024. Rolex were the proud sponsors of the award show for the eighth year in a row.
Guaranteed to be a star-studded event, the 2024 Oscar Awards were attended by an ardent cast of famous faces, but what about the timepieces accompanying them?
We’ve rounded up the most dazzling watches worn at the prestigious event and one of them even took centre stage in a ‘Kentastic’ performance…

Pretty in pink was the aesthetic of choice for Ryan Gosling as he performed “I’m Just Ken” live at the Oscars and donned a pink suit almost as dazzling as the TAG Heuer Plasma on his wrist. Arguably a very fitting look for the Barbie actor, who unfortunately lost out to his unlikely counterpart Oppenheimer in the bid for the Best Supporting Actor category.
Matt Bomer

Glen Powell, star of the loosely Shakespearean Anyone but You, looked dapper as ever sporting the Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph. Inspired by models of the 1970s with its bold black dial and sunray-brushed appearance, the elegant Monaco model stunned in its iconic squared case.
Bradley Cooper
Spotted Wearing: Louis Vuitton Tambour
One of 2024's most-nominated candidates, Bradley Cooper unfortunately failed to take home a single statuette for his role in Netflix's Maestro. His outfit was a winner though, with the actor choosing a stylish, custom Louis Vuitton suit to pair with the Tambour timepiece.

Cillian Murphy
Spotted Wearing: Omega De Ville Prestige
All eyes were on the Oppenheimer actor as he became the first Irish-born winner of the Best Actor award in the Oscar's 94-year history. A lucky charm perhaps was his Omega De VIlle Prestige, proudly worn as the Oppenheimer cast and crew took home a whopping seven Oscar awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.

The Stranger Things star turned heads on the Oscars red carpet by suspectedly ‘hard launching’ his potential involvement with his The Quiet Place: Day One co-star Lupita Nyong’o. Turning the heads of the WatchGecko team though was his IWC Portofino Automatic timepiece. Following suit, British actor Callum Turner attended the glamorous Vanity Fair event solo but he did have the impeccable company of the IWC Portofino Automatic, paired stylishly with a classic black suit.
Sterling K. Brown
Spotted Wearing: IWC Portugieser Regulateur Tourbillon
Sterling K. Brown attended the 2024 Oscars as one of the nominees for Best Supporting Actor. His role in American Fiction earned him his first ever Oscar nomination, he unfortunately lost out to Robert Downey Jr. but looked as dapper as ever on the red carpet, accompanied by the IWC Portugieser Regulatuer Tourbillon.
