'Oppenheimer' Continues Win Streak for Accolades
Last month, Nolan won the Best Director of a Motion Picture, while Cillian Murphy bagged the Best Actor award at the Golden Globes. Robert Downey Jr. also got an award as Best Supporting Actor and Ludwig Göransson for Best Original Score.
Recently, Murphy was awarded the BAFTA and is expected to win at this year's Oscars. Downey is also continuing his win streak as the supporting actor.
"We've been through a period where it was wonderfully reassuring for studio executives to feel that their franchise properties could go on forever and be predictably successful. But you can't deny filmgoers' desire for novelty," Nolan previously shared on the continuous success of "Oppenheimer."
