Christopher Nolan Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

“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.

2024 Oscars were hosted by Jimmy Kimmel on Sunday, March 10, airing on ABC (in the new earlier time slot of 7 p.m.). The Christopher Nolan flick starring Cillian Murphy was this year’s frontrunner, with a staggering 13 nominations — including for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., respectively. The Best Actor race was a battle between Murphy, Bradley Cooper (“Maestro”), Paul Giamatti (“The Holdovers”), Colman Domingo (“Rustin”) and Jeffrey Wright (“American Fiction”).Murphy took home the expected win, and Nolan and Downey Jr.

The cast and crew of Oppenheimer has a lot to celebrate after the 2024 Academy Awards on Sunday (March 10).

Looks like fourth time is truly a charm for Jimmy Kimmel and the Academy Awards.

Cillian Murphy has just won his first Oscar, as Best Actor for his riveting turn in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. After five collaborations with Nolan, this was Murphy’s first time in a lead role in one of the director’s films — and nabbed him his first-ever Oscar nomination, and the first win in the category for an Irish-born actor. In a shoutout to his homeland from the Dolby stage, Murphy said, “I’m a very proud Irishman standing here tonight.” 

Following his front-running award season where he won every award he was up for, Christopher Nolan completed the sweep as he took home Best Directing Oscar for Oppenheimer. The historic night was capped off by her being presented the award by Steven Spielberg, who many people compare Nolan too.

Oppenheimer capped a big night at the 96th Academy Awards with a Best Picture win.

The 96th Academy Awards are finally here. And after a strike-affected awards season, with little controversy (well, maybe), Jimmy Kimmel is ready to emcee a ceremony that promises a massive “I’m Just Ken” musical number and a lot of wins for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” In fact, one of the only big questions remaining for the night is in one of the few categories where the blockbuster didn’t earn a nomination: Best Actress.

In a very competitive race, Cord Jefferson won his first Academy Award in the Adapted Screenplay category for the dramedy “American Fiction.” Based on the 2001 novel “Erasure“ by Percival Everett, “Fiction” overcame a slew of worthy nominees such as Christopher Nolan‘s screenplay for “Oppenheimer,” Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach‘s bizarrely categorized script for “Barbie,” and Tony McNamara’s adaptation of “Poor Things” to take the prize.

“Barbenheimer” is officially over. While Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” may have outdueled its release date mate by a little under $500 million at the worldwide box office, Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” has taken the most coveted award of them all, the Oscar for Best Picture.

After so many snubs and just not close enough, Christopher Nolan is finally an Oscar winner. The American-British filmmaker had earned eight nominations before the night began.

Don’t call it a career win because few would argue that Robert Downey, Jr. didn’t deliver one of his best performances ever as Lewis Strauss in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” That immense talent was rewarded with his first Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category at the 96th Academy Awards.

John Cena made a big splash at the Oscars when he showed up on stage with no clothes on. As the 96th Academy Awards got underway, host Jimmy Kimmel recalled a moment from Oscars history, which saw David Niven's 1974 speech interrupted by a streaker, who ran across the stage. Referencing the moment, Jimmy said that would never happen today.

Robert Downey Jr. has won the Oscar for best supporting actor for his work in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” The night completed an awards season sweep for the star, with his victory at the Oscars joining his previous supporting actor wins at the Golden Globes, Critic’s Choice Awards, SAG Awards and BAFTA Film Awards. “I’d like to thank my terrible childhood and the Academy — in that order,” Downey quipped at the start of his speech, before throwing in another joke.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “The Fall Guy” stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt brought the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon to the Oscars stage while presenting a special tribute to stunt performers. The two co-stars, who were both nominated for supporting actor Oscars this year — Blunt for “Oppenheimer,” Gosling for “Barbie” — playfully roasted the rivalry between the two blockbusters, which famously opened in the theaters on the same date last summer. “I’m just happy that we can finally put this ‘Barbenheimer’ rivalry aside,” Gosling told Blunt.

Three times a charm for Robert Downey Jr. who finally won an Oscar on this third nomination tonight for his turn as Lewis Strauss, the hostile United States Atomic Energy Commissioner in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.

Robert Downey Jr. is finally an Oscar winner. The 58-year-old “Oppenheimer” star took home the Best Supporting Actor Oscar at the 96th Academy Awardslive from the Dolby Theater in LA on Sunday.
