The 96th Academy Awards were presented on Sunday night in Los Angeles, where many of Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered to celebrate the year’s best in film.
Christopher Nolan’s sweeping epic about J. Robert Oppenheimer — the American physicist credited with being the “father of the atomic bomb” — came into the night with the most Oscar nominations (13) and won seven, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.
“We made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb,” Cillian Murphy, who won Best Actor for his portrayal of Oppenheimer, said in his acceptance speech. “And for better or worse, we’re all living in Oppenheimer’s world. So I would like to dedicate this to the peacemakers everywhere.”
