Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan's epic film about the father of the atomic bomb, triumphed at the Baftas in London tonight, the highest honor in Anglo-Saxon cinema and a crucial lead in the Oscars. Nolan's portrait of the scientific genius tormented by his creation of the atomic bomb won seven awards, first for best picture and then in the categories of best director, best actor (Cillian Murphy) and best supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.). .
Video What are the Baftas, the Oscars with an English accent?
Best Actress Emma Stone for Poor Creatures! by Yorgos Lanthimos. Jonathan Glazer's “The Zone of Interest” won best English-language film and best non-English-language film, among others, while “20 Days in Maryupol” won best documentary and Hayao Miyazaki's “The Boy and the Heron” won animation were awarded.
“Our film – said Nolan, the first Bafta winner in a long career of cult films – ends on a dramatically necessary note of despair. But in the real world, there are many people and organizations who have fought long and hard to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world. Things have been going in the wrong direction lately. Therefore, in accepting this award, I just want to recognize their efforts and emphasize that they show the need and potential of peace efforts.”
