Christopher Nolan Recognizes Those Who Have ‘Fought Long and Hard to Reduce the Number of Nuclear Weapons’ After Winning First-Ever BAFTA for ‘Oppenheimer’
Christopher Nolan has won the BAFTA Award for best director for 'Oppenheimer.'
In his acceptance speech, he said that while his film ended on a “dramatically necessary note of despair” he wanted to spotlight the organizations who have worked over the years to “reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world.” The filmmaker’s epic biopic of the “father of the atomic bomb,” J. Robert Oppenheimer, has been both a commercial and critical smash hit, earning close to $1 billon for Universal and dominating the awards season. In the director category, Nolan was up against Andrew Haigh for “All of Us Strangers,” Justine Triet for “Anatomy of a Fall,” Alexander Payne for “The Holdovers,” Bradley Cooper for “Maestro” and Jonathan Glazer for “The Zone of Interest.”
