In a triumphant evening at the BAFTA Film Awards in London, Christopher Nolan’s epic film “Oppenheimer” stole the show, winning a total of seven awards. The film, centered on the creation of the atomic bomb, was a powerful statement ahead of the upcoming Oscars.
“Oppenheimer” took top honors, including Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr. Murphy played J. Robert Oppenheimer, the renowned American theoretical physicist often referred to as He is referred to as the “father of the atomic bomb”, dealing with the repercussions of its creation.
The film, which has already grossed more than a billion dollars, previously triumphed at the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards, consolidating its status as a favorite for the next Oscars.
Cillian Murphy, in his first BAFTA win, expressed gratitude to Nolan for recognizing his potential, saying, “seeing something in me that I probably didn’t see myself.” The actor, when collecting the award at the Royal Festival Hall in London, described the success as “amazing” and admitted to being excited and a little surprised.
For Robert Downey Jr., it marked his second BAFTA win, the previous award coming 31 years ago for playing Charlie Chaplin. Upon receiving the award, the American star humorously recalled Nolan’s advice to take a low-key approach to his role, with the goal of restoring “my waning credibility.”
Success of the “poor”
The surreal black comedy “Poor Things” also had a successful night, picking up five awards, including Best Actress for Emma Stone. Stone, who also won in 2017 for “La La Land,” gave a no-holds-barred performance in the film, portraying a reanimated Victorian corpse brought back to life.
BAFTA President Prince William represented the British royal family at the ceremony.
