“I can't say enough about the incredible crew that we got together on this film.”
Continuing, the visionary British filmmaker, renowned for crafting cinematic epics, expressed gratitude to "the incredible Emma Thomas, producer of all our films and our children. I love you."

Oppenheimer throughout the Awards season
Nolan’s 3-hour-long epic drama about the father of the atomic bomb remains one of the most acclaimed films of 2023. Apart from being on the receiving end of consistent critical acclaim, the film also reinvigorated the box office as one-half of last summer’s Barbeinheimer phenomenon.
Additionally, it went on to sweep numerous awards at the BAFTA and the Golden Globes, and won the top film awards at at least nine different guild or professional association awards shows, leading up to the domination of Oscar awards that took place on Sunday, March 10.
