After hitting the headlines when it was released last summer, the Oppenheimer film was talked about again last night, since the latest feature film by famous director Christopher Nolan won everything at the 2024 Oscars.
Back in the famous Dolby Theater located on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, the 96th Academy Awards ceremony was held on the night of March 10 to 11, 2024. An unmissable event for movie buffs, which rewards the best films of 2023, and which also marks the return of Jimmy Kimmel who officiated as master of ceremonies, a role he already held last year.
Many projects were thus highlighted during this ceremony, such as Anatomy of a Fall by Justine Triet, which had already received the Palme d’Or at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, and which this time won the Oscar for best original screenplay.
But if there was one film that stole the show at the 2024 Oscars, it was that of Christopher Nolan, winning numerous awards.

Oppenheimer is therefore positioned as the flagship film of this 96th edition. Indeed, the biopic telling the story of the man nicknamed the “father of the atomic bomb” is not only the most nominated film with its 13 nominations, but it is also and above all the most awarded at the 2024 Oscars, receiving no less than 7 awards.
