BAFTA Awards 2024 | ‘Oppenheimer’ wins seven prizes, including best picture

The Hindu  

Atom bomb epic Oppenheimer won seven prizes, including best picture, director and actor, at the 77th British Academy Film Awards on Sunday, cementing its front-runner status for the Oscars next month. British-born filmmaker Christopher Nolan won his first best director BAFTA for Oppenheimer,” and Irish performer Cillian Murphy won the best actor prize for playing physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. Nolan noted that nuclear weapons are “a nihilistic subject and the film inevitably reflects that," telling the movie's backers: "Thank you for taking on something dark.” Emma Stone was named best actress for playing the wild and spirited Bella Baxter in Poor Things, a steampunk-style visual extravaganza that won prizes for visual effects, production design, makeup and hair and costume design. Cord Jefferson won the adapted screenplay prize for the satirical American Fiction, about the struggles of an African-American novelist Jefferson said he hoped the success of the movie "maybe changes the minds of the people who are in charge of greenlighting films and TV shows, allows them to be less risk-averse.” Historical epic Killers of the Flower Moon, Leonard Bernstein biopic Maestro, grief-flecked love story All of Us Strangers and class-war dramedy Saltburn all won nothing despite multiple nominations.
