The 96th Academy Awards ceremony ended in Los Angeles. The main triumph of the ceremony was the historical drama directed by Christopher Nolan about the creator of the atomic bomb – the film “Oppenheimer”. Both Nolan and leading man Cillian Murphy also took home two of the Big Five Oscar awards – Best Director and Best Actor, respectively.
Out of 13 nominations, the film won seven, including the main award – Best Film. Following him is the film “The Poor and Unfortunate,” which managed to win four awards, and “Zone of Interests,” which received two statuettes.
“20 days in Mariupol” was named “Best Documentary Film”. The highest-grossing Ukrainian documentary in history was filmed by Ukrainian journalist and war correspondent Mstislav Chernov in the first three weeks of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Emma Stone, who played the main character in the film “The Unfortunate,” received the Oscar for “Best Actress.” She is the only one among today’s nominees who already has an Oscar in her collection (we are talking about the award for La La Land). In Lanthimos’s film, he played one of his most unusual roles – a rapidly maturing girl who finds herself at the center of a dubious biological experiment: her on-screen “father” (played by Willem Dafoe) decided to transplant the brain of an unborn child into the body of his dead mother – an unusual reimagining of its own. Frankenstein stories.
