Oscars 2024: 'Oppenheimer' wins best picture, Emma Stone takes best actress

Oppenheimer, a solemn three-hour biopic that became an unlikely billion-dollar box-office sensation, was crowned best picture at a 96th Academy Awards that doubled as a coronation for Christopher Nolan. After passing over arguably Hollywood's foremost big-screen auteur for years, the Oscars made up for lost time by heaping seven awards on Nolan's blockbuster biopic, including best actor for Cillian Murphy, best supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr. and best director for Nolan. In anointing Oppenheimer, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts did something it hasn't done for more than a decade: hand its top prize to a widely seen, big-budget studio film. In a film industry where a cape, dinosaur or Tom Cruise has often been a requirement for such box office, Oppenheimer brought droves of moviegoers to theaters with a complex, fission-filled drama about J. Robert Oppenheimer and the creation of the atomic bomb. For better or worse, we're all living in Robert Oppenheimer's world," said ..

Cillian Murphy bags his first Oscar as best actor for 'Oppenheimer'

Cillian Murphy came away with his first Oscar for portraying the man who created the atomic bomb in Christopher Nolan's blockbuster biopic Oppenheimer. A first-time nominee, Murphy won best actor for his stellar role as J. Robert Oppenheimer. The film tells the story of how Oppenheimer and his peers at Los Alamos would test the bomb on July 16, 1945, not knowing what was going to happen and the ensuing fallout. Murphy bested Colman Domingo for Rustin, Bradley Cooper for Maestro, Paul Giamatti for The Holdovers, and Jeffrey Wright for American Fiction. The Irish actor, though a regular presence in Nolan films going back almost two decades, had always been a supporting player. This time, Nolan wanted him to lead. He's so understated and self-deprecating and, in his very English manner, just said, Listen, I've written this script, it's about Oppenheimer. I'd like you to be my Oppenheimer,' Murphy, 47, told The Associated Press last year. It was a great day. For Murphy, he knows ther
