Throughout the night, Nolan's epic won seven awards. That haul included some of the biggest prizes of the night, Best Picture; Best Director; Best Actor (Cillian Murphy); and Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.). The film also won some below-the-line categories such as Best Cinematography; Best Original Score; and Best Editing.

That means that Oppenheimer missed out on six awards that they were up for. Those were Best Supporting Actress (Emily Blunt); Best Costume Design; Best Makeup and Hairstyling; Best Adapted Screenplay; Best Production Design; and Best Sound.

Oppenheimer is the latest historical epic from Nolan. He wrote the script based on the novel American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. The film chronicles the career of J. Robert Oppenheimer, his part in the Manhattan Project, and the aftermath.
