Christopher Nolan finally bagged an Oscar for Best Picture as his cerebral blockbuster Oppenheimer came away as last night’s big winner. Nolan also walked away with the Best Director gong while Irish actor Cillian Murphy won Best Actor for his role and Robert Downey Jr. won Best Supporting Actor.
Ryan Gosling was perhaps the evening’s biggest talking point for his stellar performance of Barbie song “I’m Just Ken”, although that film only received a single gong, the Best Original Song Oscar for Billie Eilish and Finneas What Was I Made For?
Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things was also handsomely rewarded, taking home statues for Best Production Design, Best Actress (Emma Stone), Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
Native American Lily Gladstone, hotly tipped by some to win Best Actress, missed out on the night, with Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon missing out in all 10 categories in which it was nominated.
