Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” ruled the 96th Academy Awards, winning seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Director. The film claimed an impressive seven awards, securing top honors for best picture and best director. The film also won Oscars for Robert Downey Jr.’s supporting role as a vindictive bureaucrat and Cillian Murphy’s haunting lead performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer.
The picture had extra significance during a period of world strife. In his victory speech, Murphy said, “For better or worse, we’re all living in Oppenheimer’s world. We made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb.” Concrete reminders of that history, as well as the worldwide upheaval, provided the immediate shock factor for Nolan’s historical drama about the development of the nuclear bomb.
A few hundred demonstrators demonstrated in front of the Oscars red carpet, demanding an end to Israel’s conflict in Gaza, while winners of the Oscars used their speeches to condemn the humanitarian catastrophe in the region and the one caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. A-listers hurried to get to their seats as the ceremony got underway later than planned due to the traffic jams caused by the pro-Palestinian protests in the center of Hollywood outside the Dolby Theatre, the location of the event.
