The U.K. government says that the Oscar-winning “Oppenheimer” director Christopher Nolan and his producer wife Emma Thomas will receive a knighthood and damehood for their services to film.
Christopher Nolan, winner of the awards for best director and best picture for"Oppenheimer," left, and Emma Thomas, winner of the award for best picture for"Oppenheimer" pose at the Governors Ball after the Oscars on Sunday, March 10, 2024, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
The honors are formally awarded at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace, often by the U.K. monarch in person. However, the king is currently not undertaking any royal duties, because he is undergoing treatment for cancer. When Nolan was presented with the British Film Institute Fellowship earlier this year for being “one of the world’s most innovative and influential film directors,” he credited his wife.
Addressing the audience at this year's Academy Awards, Nolan noted cinema is just over a century old.
