After previously being nominated for 2018's Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan has won his first Best Director Oscar
Christopher Nolan has finally won an Oscar for Best Director. After years of trying—consciously or not—to crack this particular nut from a variety of angles the man has finally scored the prize for his 2023 film Oppenheimer. Nolan’s win tonight comes after an awards season that has all but paved the way for victory: He previously won in similar categories at the Golden Globes, his native BAFTAs, and, most tellingly, from his peers at the Director’s Guild.
And it’s hard to say he didn’t earn it: Oppenheimer is an incredibly ambitious piece of cinematic spectacle, whether you’re watching star Cillian Murphy suffer an immensely claustrophobic panic attack in the midst of a cheering crowd, or trying to avert your eyes from the massive explosion of the first Los Alamos test. Nolan wrangled a massive production to get this thing done, crafting a story of a man who defined the generation he lived in—for good and ill.
