Oscars 2024: How did the film “Oppenheimer” conquer the ceremony?

The rise of “Oppenheimer” at the 2024 Oscars

The evening of March 10, 2024 will remain engraved in the history of the 7th art as the consecration of the film “Oppenheimer”, which raided the awards during the prestigious Oscar ceremony held in Los Angeles, winning no less of seven Oscars. Have current cinematographic achievements found their leader? Our special correspondent on the Hollywood scene gives you his analysis.

A predestined success

Under the dome of the famous Dolby Theater, the triumph was announced for this cinematographic piece by Christopher Nolan, nominated thirteen times and crowned with the golden statuette for major categories such as best film, director, actor with the remarkable performance of Cillian Murphy, and other deserved technical awards. It is a much less fortunate rival, having received eleven nominations, “Poor Creatures”, which won four distinctions, while success was more mixed for other renowned competitors.

A consecration that resonates in the industry

Analyzing the results, we detect a Nolan who convinced the Academy with this exceptional historical and biographical opus. Furthermore, the evening’s awards were marked by strong speeches, such as that of Jonathan Glazer on the tense world situation, or the deserved ovation for the main interpreter of “Oppenheimer”, Cillian Murphy, whose talent is not matched only by British phlegm.

Other films noticed during the evening

Apart from the outbursts of “Oppenheimer”, France did not remain on the sidelines of the event. “Anatomy of a Fall”, although not chosen to represent France in the best foreign film category, was distinguished by the original screenplay prize, which it proudly obtained. The path traveled since its Palme d’Or in Cannes is exceptional, and remains proof that French talent knows how to export itself.
