Christopher Nolan Says ‘Oppenheimer’s Seven Oscar Wins, Including Directing and Best Picture, Is “A Wonderful Finish To An Incredible Year” – Oscars Backstage


'Oppenheimer's Christopher Nolan On Seven Oscar Wins, Including Directing and Best Picture: "A Wonderful Finish To An Incredible Year"

“It’s very important to me, it’s really a wonderful finish to what’s been an incredible year,” Christopher Nolan told press backstage at the Academy Awards in the wake of winning both his Best Director Oscar for Oppenheimer, along with the biggest prize of the night: Best Picture. In Oppenheimer, longtime Nolan collaborator Cillian Murphy enacts the history of a man who changed our world forever, with Robert Downey Jr. as his jealous nemesis Lewis Strauss—both of whom won Oscars for their lead and supporting performances respectively. “There was something about seeing Cillian with the hat on, and Robert Downey Jr. with his hair shaved back and Emily Blunt in old-age makeup,” Nolan said of his standout moments.
