Christopher Nolan's biopic 'Oppenheimer' was crowned best picture at the 96th Academy Awards, where Nolan also won best director. The Oscars made up for lost time by giving seven awards to the blockbuster biopic, including best actor for Cillian Murphy and best supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr. Host Jimmy Kimmel received a standing ovation for his monologue emphasizing Hollywood as a 'union town'.
" Oppenheimer ," a solemn three-hour biopic that became an unlikely billion-dollar box-office sensation, was crowned best picture at the 96th Academy Awards that doubled as a coronation for Christopher Nolan . After passing over arguably Hollywood ’s foremost big-screen auteur for years, the Oscars made up for lost time by heaping seven awards on Nolan’s blockbuster biopic, including best actor for Cillian Murphy , best supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr. and best director for Nolan.
Jimmy Kimmel, hosting the ABC telecast for the fourth time, opened the 96th Academy Awards with a monologue that drew a few cold looks (from Robert Downey Jr., Sandra Hüller and Messi, the dog from best-picture nominee "Anatomy of a Fall"). But Kimmel, emphasizing Hollywood as "a union town" following 2023's actor and writer strikes, drew a standing ovation for bringing out teamsters and behind-the-scenes workers — who are now entering their own labor negotiations
