Oppenheimer’s Robert Downey Jr. takes home the coveted Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture Golden Globe this year, so Christopher Nolan’s historical drama is off to a great start at the 2024 ceremony. Check out RDJ’s acceptance speech below:
Oppenheimer became one of the biggest movies of 2023, which was spurred on by its dual release with Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. Director Christopher Nolan scored one of the biggest hits of his career, both in terms of critical and box office success… to the tune of $952 million worldwide. While this wasn’t quite enough to surpass Nolan’s billion-dollar hits, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, the filmmaker himself called Oppenheimer “the most successful” of his career.
Oppenheimer became much more than a historical recount of the events surrounding Mr. Oppenheimer’s involvement on the Manhattan Project, delving into the ramifications behind the creator of the atomic bomb and its moral implications on the world. All of this was portrayed effortlessly by Cillian Murphy in a role that has already singled him out as a strong Oscar contender.
