Somehow, in a career that’s produced some of the most acclaimed and popular films of the 21st century, Christopher Nolan has never won an Oscar. While his films have picked up stray prizes here or there, Nolan himself has gone unrecognized by the Academy Awards until now. 2024 was finally Nolan’s moment. The man behind such modern classics as Memento, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Inception, and more took home the Academy Award for Best Director for his work on the blockbuster biopic Oppenheimer. Nolan prevailed in the face of major competition, beating out Anatomy of a Fall’s Justine Triet, ...

For the first time in his career, Robert Downey Jr. is an Oscar winner. Downey won this year’s Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his work as Lewis Strauss in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Downey’s performance was essential to the film; a large portion of it was built around Strauss’ Senate confirmation hearing for the position of Secretary of Commerce.

Robert Oppenheimer grew to lead the Manhattan Project which developed the world’s first atomic weapon, and then how hi...

Los Alamos (United States) (AFP) - Christopher Nolan's $1 billion-grossing "Oppenheimer" hasn't just lined the pockets of Hollywood studio executives -- it has also brought an unexpected windfall to the secretive community of Los Alamos.

"It definitely took on the air of secrecy," he recalled. A few mil...

White Sands (United States) (AFP) - Wesley Burris was fast asleep in bed when the world's first atomic bomb exploded just 25 miles from his front door. A blinding light filled the home in the New Mexico desert, before the impossible force of the blast shattered its windows, spraying glass across the four-year-old boy and his brother. "It was so bright, I couldn't see," Burris recalls. "I can remember asking, 'Dad, what happened? Did the Sun blow up?'" The events of 5:30 am on July 16, 1945 are now best known to millions from their dramatic re-enactment in the Oscar-tipped movie "Oppenheimer." ...
