Accepting the Best Director BAFTA Award for his historical biographical film Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan said, “Thank you for letting us take on something quite dark and seeing the potential in that.

Oppenheimer, which clocks in at 3 hours, chronicles the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer (played by Cillian Murphy), the father of the atomic bomb.
