Christopher Nolan’s nuclear war drama Oppenheimer has crowned its awards season run with seven Academy Awards, including best picture. As best director, Nolan has won his first Oscar, while leading man Cillian Murphy is named best actor and Robert Downey Jr is best supporting actor. Its editing, cinematography and score all also came out on top.

Emma Stone won best actress for her turn as Bella Baxter in Yorgos Lanthimos’s period fantasy Poor Things, which also swept up three craft categories: production design, costume design, and makeup and hairstyling. Best supporting actress was Da’Vine Joy Randolph for the 1970s-set comedy drama The Holdovers.

Jonathan Glazer’s German-language Holocaust drama The Zone of Interest won best international film (the first time a British film has won this award), and also won best sound. 

In the writing categories, the French courtroom drama Anatomy of a Fall won best original screenplay, while American Fiction, the publishing satire based on Percival Everett’s 2001 novel Erasure, won best adapted screenplay.

Best animated feature is Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron, with best documentary feature going to the eyewitness Ukraine war story 20 Days in Mariupol, directed by war reporter Mstyslav Chernov.

Winning films which first screened to UK audiences at the BFI London Film Festival include Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Poor Things, The Zone of Interest, and The Boy and the Heron.
