Oscars 2024: Christopher Nolan Finally Breaks Jinx, Wins Best Director Award For Oppenheimer

Celebrated filmmaker Christopher Nolan clinched his first Academy Award of his illustrious career for 'Oppenheimer' at the 96th Academy Awards. 

New Delhi: Celebrated filmmaker Christopher Nolan clinched his first Academy Award of his illustrious career for 'Oppenheimer' at the 96th Academy Awards. 

Despite earning eight nominations over two decades, including recognition for 'Memento' (screenwriting) in the 2000s, 'Inception' (best picture, screenwriting) in 2010, and 'Dunkirk' (best picture, directing) in 2017, Nolan finally received the long-awaited honour. 

Upon receiving the prestigious award, Nolan said, “Movies are just a little bit over 100 years old.”  

Reflecting on the unpredictable trajectory of the film industry, he added, “We don’t know where this incredible journey is going from here. But to know that you think I’m a meaningful part of it means the world to me.” 

Nolan faced tough competition in the category, contending against Justine Triet ('Anatomy of a Fall'), Martin Scorsese ('Killers of the Flower Moon'), Yorgos Lanthimos ('Poor Things'), and Jonathan Glazer ('The Zone of Interest'). 

Oppenheimer wins big
Nolan’s film ‘Oppenheimer’ bagged seven Oscars including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Editing, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture. 

In the Best Picture category, the film had competition from ‘American Fiction’, ‘Anatomy of a Fall’, ‘Barbie’, ‘The Holdovers’, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’, ‘Maestro’, ‘Past Lives’, ‘Poor Things’ and ‘The Zone of Interest’. 

About Oppenheimer
'Oppenheimer' intricately unfolds the fascinating career of J. Robert Oppenheimer, delving into key aspects of his life, from his academic pursuits to his pivotal role in overseeing the Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II and the subsequent challenges he faced during the 1954 security hearing, leading to a notable fall from grace. 

Christopher Nolan's cinematic creation offers a compelling narrative that sheds light on Oppenheimer's accomplishments and tribulations, providing audiences with a comprehensive glimpse into the complex life of the renowned scientist. 

The stellar ensemble cast included Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh.
