In what is arguably Hollywood’s most prestigious event of the year, Christopher Nolan’s directorial venture “Oppenheimer” emerged as the undisputed champion at the 96th Academy Awards. The biopic, starring Cillian Murphy in the titular role, secured a total of seven Oscars, sweeping some of the most coveted categories of the night.
“Oppenheimer” clinched major victories including Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, and Best Actor for Cillian Murphy’s remarkable portrayal of the renowned physicist. Adding to the accolades, Robert Downey Jr. earned his first Oscar win for Best Supporting Actor, delivering a compelling performance as Atomic Energy Commission head Lewis Strauss, triumphing over fan-favorite Ryan Gosling, nominated for his role in Margot Robbie’s “Barbie.”
The triumph of “Oppenheimer” comes as no surprise, given its consistent dominance throughout the awards season. The film had already secured victories at prestigious ceremonies such as the BAFTAs, Critics Choice Awards, and Golden Globes, solidifying its position as the frontrunner since the nominations were announced over a month ago. With an impressive total of 13 nominations, “Oppenheimer” entered the Oscars as the clear favorite in multiple categories.
In another notable win, Emma Stone took home the award for Best Actress for her exceptional performance in “Poor Things,” marking her second Oscar win following her previous success in “La La Land,” where she starred alongside Ryan Gosling.
Despite its critical and commercial success, “Barbie” faced disappointment at the Oscars, missing out on several major awards. Nominated in multiple categories including Best Picture, the film failed to secure any wins, with both America Ferrera and Ryan Gosling falling short in the supporting actor categories.
Released on the same day to widespread acclaim, both “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” captivated audiences with their unique storytelling and stellar performances. The Oscars ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, took place on March 11 in Los Angeles, marking a memorable celebration of cinematic excellence and achievement.
