Oppenheimer

In his role as physicist Robert Oppenheimer in the film of the same name by Christopher Nolan, Cillian Murphy has won several prestigious awards. Among them is the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama, the Acting Achievement prize at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in January, accolades from New York and Boston critics, as well as a BAFTA received at the end of last week.

Oppenheimer wins best film at this year's BAFTA film awards ceremony

In "White Dwarf," Greek film producer Yolanda Markopoulou explores a fragment of the history of the birth of the first atomic bomb by physicist Robert J. Oppenheimer, inviting the audience to a VR performance installation at the Benaki Museum - Pireos (138 Pireos).

The films "Oppenheimer" and "Poor Things" won the most awards at the BAFTA ceremony, which took place on Sunday evening (February 18) in London.

"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.

It has, by the account of many pundits, been a remarkably strong year for "Oppenheimer" with 2023 easily offering the most packed lineup of commercial and critical hits since before the pandemic.

That strength makes the seemingly unstoppable awards success of Nolan's "Oppenheimer" all the more impressive.

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.

"Poor Things" by Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos will compete with "Oppenheimer," "Barbie" and other films for best picture at this year's Academy Awards.

Other best picture nominees announced for the 96th Oscars included "Killers of the Flower Moon," "The Holdovers," "Maestro" and "American Fiction."
