Oppenheimer has won countless trophies this award season, and it came into the Academy Awards on Sunday night as a clear front-runner. Christopher Nolan’s World War II epic won over Oscars voters, who honored it with seven trophies, including best picture.
Oppenheimer faced tough competition in Barbie, The Holdovers, Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives, and The Zone of Interest on its path to winning best picture, but managed to beat them all. Christopher Nolan also collected an Oscar for his work as the film’s director, his first in this category.
Oppenheimer stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. walked away with acting Oscars in their respective categories, alongside Poor Things’ Emma Stone (best actress) and The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph (best supporting actress).
Oppenheimer was also the main winner in the technical categories with three additional awards – best original score, best cinematography, and best film editing. The list of films with multiple wins also included Poor Things with four and The Zone of Interest with two, including best international feature film.
The 96th Academy Awards were held on March 10 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with Jimmy Kimmel serving as the host.
