It was a big night for Christopher Nolan’s biographical war film Oppenheimer, which won seven prizes, including Best Picture and Best Director. The film continued its winning streak by securing wins for Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Junior), Best Cinematography, and Best Film Editing among others. Although Greta Gerwig’s Barbie came into the evening with eight nominations, it took home only one win- Original Song. LA Times reports: “The conversation on nominations morning in January was dominated instead by what “Barbie” wasn’t nominated for. Gerwig was left off the directing list, and Margot Robbie, the titular star, who also executive produced the film, wasn’t nominated for lead actress.
