Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan's epic film about the father of the creation of the atomic bomb, triumphed this evening in London at the Baftas, the highest awards in Anglo-Saxon cinema and a crucial indication towards the Oscars.
Nolan's portrait of the scientific genius, tortured by his creation of the atomic bomb, won seven awards, starting with best film, and then in the categories of best director, best actor (Cillian Murphy) and best supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.).

Jonathan Glazer's The Zone of Interest won, among other things, best English film and best non-English language film, while 20 Days in Maryupol was best documentary and The Boy and the Heron by Hayao Miyazaki for animation.
"Our film - said Nolan, the first Bafta winner in a long career of cult films - ends on a dramatically necessary note of desperation. 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. In recent times, things have been going in the wrong direction. And so, by accepting this award, I just want to recognize their efforts and highlight that they show the need and potential of peace efforts."
Less than a month before the Oscar night on March 11, Oppenheimer, who is nominated for 13 Academy statuettes, won in the most prestigious category of best film at the Royal Hall in London ahead of the Palme d'Or 2023 in Anatomy of a Fall by Justine Triet (a London won the Bafta for best original screenplay), The Holdovers by Alexander Payne, Killers of the Flower Moon by Martin Scorsese and "Poor Creatures!"
