Oppenheimer wins Best Picture at the Oscars

Oppenheimer wins Best Picture at the Oscars

The movie took home the coveted award for Best Picture, as well as Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor

Oppenheimer has won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

The movie took home the coveted award in what was an excellent night for Christopher Nolan's historical biopic about physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.

The announcement arrived a little sooner than expected after announcer Al Pacino skipped the usual part where they go through all the nominees.

Instead, Pacino got straight to the point, opening the envelope and said: "I'm seeing Oppenheimer."

Starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, and Robert Downey Jr., Oppenheimer received nominations in 13 different categories.

Star Cillian Murphy won the award for Best Actor for his portrayal of the physicist.

During his acceptance speech, he said: "I'm a very proud Irish man standing here tonight.

"We made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb, and for better or worse we're living in Oppenheimer's world, so I'd really to dedicate this to the peacemakers everywhere."

Murphy joined his cast member Robert Downey Jr. in scooping an Academy Award for Oppenheimer after Downey Jr. won the award for Best Supporting Actor.

Christopher Nolan also scooped the award for Best Director for Oppenheimer. This was the first time that Nolan had won an Academy award, though he had previously been nominated.

In the end, Oppenheimer won the awards for Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor.

Emily Blunt was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the movie, the first time she has been nominated for an Academy award.

Fellow winner and Oppenheimer alumnus Downey Jr. caught the sharp end of Kimmel's humor earlier in the evening when the comedian brought up his previous struggles with addiction.

Kimmel quipped: "This is the highest point of Robert Downey Jr's long and illustrious career. Well, one of the highest points."

Kimmel added: "Was that too on the nose or a drug motion you made?"

He then rowed things back a little, highlighting Downey Jr.'s many awards.

Kimmel said: "But look at him, he's so handsome, so talented, he's won every award there is to win.

"Is that an acceptance speech in your pocket or do you just have a very rectangular penis?"

The final scoop for Oppenheimer saw it take home seven awards in total, including for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.

Viewers were in for one surprise however, when Emma Stone took home her second award for Best Actress over supposed frontrunner Lily Gladstone.
