"Poor Things," Yorgos Lanthimos' steampunk quasi-feminist fantasy starring Emma Stone as a Victorian woman whose brain is replaced with that of her unborn baby, won five awards at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) on Sunday, including leading actress.

Stars of the silver screen will gather in London on Sunday for the annual BAFTA awards, often an indicator of Oscars glory, with "Oppenheimer" in the running for an unrivalled 13 awards.

"Oppenheimer" was named the best film of the year by Hollywood's directors on Saturday, boosting expectations that Christopher Nolan's long wait for success at the Oscars could soon be over.

Yorgos Lanthimos' black comedy fantasy "Poor Things" received 11 Oscar nominations on Tuesday, including best picture, director and actress. The novel-based movie, about an infant whose brain has been transplanted into the body of a grown woman, played by Emma Stone, was the second most nominated film behind Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," which led the field with 13 nods.

After a tumultuous movie year marred by strikes and work stoppages, the Academy Awards showered nominations yesterday on Christopher Nolan's blockbuster biopic, "Oppenheimer," which came away with a leading 13 nominations.

"Oppenheimer," Christopher Nolan's drama about the inventor of the atomic bomb, topped the Golden Globes on Sunday.

"Oppenheimer" took five prizes including best drama, best director for Nolan, best score, as well as acting wins for Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr.

Actress Florence Pugh has revealed that director Christopher Nolan was very apologetic about her role in his latest film, "Oppenheimer."

Pugh, 27, stars as psychiatrist and physician Jean Tatlock in the film about the life of the "father of the atomic bomb," J. Robert Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy in the lead role.

Warner Bros.' hit "Barbie" dominated North American box offices for a fourth consecutive week, industry estimates showed on Aug. 13, as director Greta Gerwig continues to bust industry records.

Internet memes referencing the films "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" have sparked anger online in Japan, the only country to ever have been attacked in wartime with nuclear weapons.

One film is about a wildly popular children's doll and the other is a biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the creators of atomic weapons.

The story of the invention of the atomic bomb told in the new film "Oppenheimer" is a "warning" to the world as we grapple with artificial intelligence, insists the movie's director Christopher Nolan.
