¡°Oppenheimer¡± overwhelmed the competition at the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday, winning seven Oscars, including the one for best picture, and at long last cementing Christopher Nolan¡¯s status as the foremost filmmaker of his generation.
Nolan, 53, a previous five-time nominee for directing or writing but never a winner, was named best director. ¡°Oppenheimer¡± also won Oscars for actor (Cillian Murphy), supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.), film editing (Jennifer Lame), cinematography (Hoyte van Hoytema) and score (Ludwig G?ransson).
¡°Movies are just a little bit over 100 years old,¡± Nolan said in accepting the statuette for directing. ¡°Imagine being there 100 years into painting or theater. We don¡¯t know where this incredible journey is going from here. But to know that you think that I¡¯m a meaningful part of it means the world to me.¡±
