Nolan's Oppenheimer sweeps 96th Oscars, wins Best Movie award

Nolan's blockbuster biopic on the life of Oppenheimer, who was torn between a guilt conscience and remorsefulness over the atomic bomb's catastrophic effects after the bombs were dropped in Japan at the fag end of the Second World War, won the honors for best director (Nolan), best actor (Cillian Murphy), best supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.), best cinematography (Hoyte van Hoytema), best film editing (Jennifer Lame) and best original score (Ludwig Göransson).

Receiving the award, Murphy said, "We made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb and for better or for worse, we are all living in Oppenheimer's world, so I'd like to dedicate to the peacemakers everywhere."

Emma Stone won the best actress award for her role in Poor Things. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, Poor Things is based on the 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray of the same name.
