BAFTA Says Security Removed Prankster Who Gatecrashed ‘Oppenheimer’ Best Film Speech

Charles Oppenheimer Christopher Nolan called Robert Oppenheimer “the most important person who ever lived.” It’s hard to know how he would have responded. Pleased with the recognition, modest demurral, or a caustic retort? What we do know: he certainly felt his work and the significance of it — and felt the weight of it. As he described it: “We knew the world would never be the same.” He spent the rest of his life trying to share that insight with the world.

Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy was forced to have his head “glued shut” due to an accident involving a pillow given to him by Emily Blunt.The stars play couple J. Robert Oppenheimer and Kitty Oppenheimer in the Christopher Nolan film, and Blunt revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live that she decided to gift the sleep item to her co-star as she felt he needed good rest in making the film.“I just felt Cillian needed, probably even more than food, was sleep on this movie,” she began.

Justine Triet’s Anatomy of A Fall won Best Film and Director at the 49th edition of the French César awards on Friday.

“Oppenheimer” co-star, Cillian Murphy, smashed his head open while fluffing a pillow she gave him to help him sleep while shooting the boffo box-office movie.Blunt, 41, was on ABC’s “JKL!” with Murphy, 47, and “Oppenheimer” co-star Robert Downey Jr., 58.She told Kimmel how she bought Murphy, who stars as J. Robert Oppenheimer — the so-called “Father of the Atomic Bomb” — a special pillow to help him get a good night’s sleep.But things went awry from there in the middle of the night.“I just felt [what] Cillian needed, even more than food, was sleep on this movie,” Blunt said in reference to the “Peaky Blinders” star losing a lot of weight for the role to play the rail-thin Oppenheimer.“So I got him this very beautiful pillow that I’m obsessed with … it’s a Hästens pillow.

On its way to the Oscars, Christopher Nolan’s historical epic Oppenheimer has set a record at Peacock, landing the biggest launch weekend for any film on the platform.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Helen Mirren recently told Entertainment Tonight that you can’t get too upset about Oscar snubs, especially when your movie is a historic and record-breaking box office phenomenon. Mirren, who won the Oscar for best actress thanks to her performance in “The Queen,” served as the narrator of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” which earned eight Oscar noms, including best picture, but failed to land Gerwig a best director nomination or Margot Robbie a best actress nomination. These omissions were widely considered the most shocking Oscar snubs of the year, not that Mirren is in too much of an uproar.

David Tennant hosted the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards and, during his opening monologue, took a jab at Donald Trump as he makes a presidential run in the U.S.

The 2024 BAFTA Film Awards have come to a close, with all the gongs having been handed out during the star-studded ceremony. This year, Doctor Who star David Tennant was chosen to host the ceremony, taking over from last year's hosts Alison Hammond and Richard E.

After a few years in limbo, the BAFTAs finally found a host to replace the much-missed Stephen Fry in David Tennant. The Doctor Who actor proved an amiable and funny emcee, although much of his humor would have gone way over the non-Brits in the audience, starting with a lengthy filmed skit riffing on his BBC TV series Staged, co-starring Michael Sheen. It was a night of surprises, not especially pleasant ones for the teams behind Barbie and Killers of the Flower Moon, and there were no egregious upsets. Neither were there any of the usual technical nightmares that have plagued the event in the past.
