The Academy Awards finally returned to Los Angeles this Sunday, and it was a night to remember for the team behind Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan’s latest film stole the show at the Oscars and walked away with a whopping seven statuettes, including best picture.

Oppenheimer was competing against Barbie, The Holdovers, Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives, and The Zone of Interest for the best picture prize and managed to defeat them all. Christopher Nolan also celebrated his very first best director win for his work on this film.

Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. collected acting accolades for best actor and best supporting actor, respectively, for their work in Oppenheimer. Poor Things’ Emma Stone (best actress) and The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph (best supporting actress) joined them as winners in the acting field.

Oppenheimer was also crowned as the winner in several technical categories, including best original score, best cinematography, and best film editing. The teams behind Poor Things and The Zone of Interest also had a reason to celebrate, since these films walked away with four and two Oscars, respectively.

The 96th Academy Awards aired live on ABC from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 10, with Jimmy Kimmel handling hosting duties for the fourth time.

After a lot of anticipation, the BAFTA Awards returned to London this Sunday night and gave us a night to remember. After coming into the ceremony with 13 nominations, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer emerged as the BAFTA’s biggest winner with seven wins.

Oppenheimer was the runner-up for the best film trophy at this year’s BAFTAs, and it lived up to the expectations, beating the likes of Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Poor Things to take this award home.

Nolan finally managed to win his first BAFTA for the best director, while the film’s stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. walked away with acting prizes. Oppenheimer was also honored in several technical categories, including best cinematography, editing, and original score.

Despite losing the best film award for Oppenheimer, the creative masterminds behind Poor Things still had a reason to celebrate. This film won five out of 11 awards it was nominated for, but it lost the coveted outstanding British film trophy to The Zone of Interest, which was also honored with the award for the best film not in the English language.

The 2024 BAFTA Awards took place on February 18 at the Royal Festival Hall in London, with David Tennant hosting the ceremony.
