Oppenheimer is one of the biggest cinematic masterpieces of the past year, and it certainly blew the Oscars voters away. Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed historical epic walked away with seven statuettes at the Academy Awards on Sunday night, including best picture.

The Holdovers, Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Barbie, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives, and The Zone of Interest were also in the running for the best picture award, but none of them could stand their ground to Oppenheimer. In addition to winning best picture award, Christopher Nolan was also named the best director for the first time.

Oppenheimer’s Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. collected acting Oscars for best actor and best supporting actor, respectively. They were joined by Poor Things’ Emma Stone (best actress) and The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph (best supporting actress).

Oppenheimer did pretty well in the technical categories, as well, and collected three more trophies – best original score, best cinematography, and best film editing. Poor Things was also one of the major winners with four awards, while The Zone of Interest collected two, including best international feature film.

The 96th Academy Awards took place at Los Angeles’ iconic Dolby Theatre on March 10, with Jimmy Kimmel returning to host for the fourth time.

“Oppenheimer” Walks Away With Seven Trophies at the 2024 BAFTA

Dave S — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 06:52:00 +0000

Oppenheimer came into this year’s award season as an early front-runner, and it lived up to this reputation at the BAFTA Awards on Sunday night. Christopher Nolan’s historic blockbuster came into the night with 13 nominations and eventually walked away with seven trophies.

Oppenheimer was one of the nominees for the coveted best film trophy at this year’s BAFTAs and defeated Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Poor Things to take this award home.

Its director Christopher Nolan finally won his first BAFTA for the best director, while Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. picked up acting accolades for their work on this film. Oppenheimer was also one of the leaders in the technical categories with three awards – best cinematography, editing, and original score.

Poor Things was right behind with five wins, most notably the best actress trophy, collected by its leading lady Emma Stone. Despite its impressive track record, Yorgos Lanthimos’s film struggled in all the other main categories and lost the outstanding British film award to The Zone of Interest.

The 2024 BAFTA Awards celebrated the best cinematic achievements of the past year at the Royal Festival Hall on February 18, with David Tennant hosting the show.
