Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan and wife Emma Thomas to get British knighthood and damehood. The Oscar-winning director of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan, and his wife and producer Emma Thomas, will receive a knighthood and damehood for their services to film, according to a statement on Thursday from the UK government.

The honours are formally awarded at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace, often by the UK 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.
