Oppenheimer wins Oscar for Best Picture

Oppenheimer wins Oscar for Best Picture

And the winner is...

It's the one you've all been waiting for, the Academy has finally announced which movie will take home the little golden statue for Best Picture.

It was one of the strongest categories for years this time around with plenty of movies which could have been Best Picture winners in other years, but this time around the gong has gone to Oppenheimer.

10 amazing films duked it out for the Oscar this year but at the end of the day there can only be one winner, and it's no surprise that the buzz had been around Oppenheimer for the longest time.

It started out with an amazing box office performance, helped in no small part by dovetailing with Barbie to form an unexpected cultural zeitgeist which had people hitting the cinemas in summer to see two very tonally different films.

Neither film disappointed as part as quality was concerned, so it's no surprise that both hit it big at the box office and the nominations list on the awards circuit.

However, with only one movie allowed to win it was Oppenheimer that romped home in a stunningly successful night for the Christopher Nolan-directed movie about the creation of the atomic bomb.

The three-hour long epic had already won the BAFTA for Best Film so it really wasn't any sort of surprise to see Oppenheimer take the win as it had left audiences and critics amazed in its wake.

Equal parts spectacular and devastating, some viewers were so stunned by the movie that they couldn't even speak after walking out of the theatre, and if that isn't testament to the power of cinema, I don't know what is.

The film starred Cillian Murphy as the titular scientist who became known as 'the father of the atomic bomb', as it follows his life from his early years in education through to his later days defending his complicated legacy.

It's been a very good night for Oppenheimer at the Oscars, as Cillian Murphy picked up the coveted Best Actor award.

Elsewhere, Robert Downey Jr picked up the Best Supporting Actor gong which ended up being his first win in three nominations throughout his career.

Oppenheimer also won Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography and Best Original Score, with many of the people who worked on the movie ending up being honoured for their work with Oscars.

Christopher Nolan also picked up his first Oscar win in eight nominations as he took the Best Director award for the film, as many had expected him to do.
