Oppenheimer has swept this year's Oscars, winning seven Oscars including best lead actor, best director and best picture. The top prize of the night was presented by Al Pacino - who seemed to jump the gun by announcing the winner before listing the nominees. Director Christopher Nolan - who is one of Britain's most commercially successful filmmakers - won his first Oscar for his three-hour epic about J Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb.
Accepting the prize, writer and director Cord Jefferson thanked his collaborators on the film for 'trusting a 40-year-old black guy who'd never directed anything before,' and gave a shout out to the next generation of writer and directors out there hoping to bring their work to the screen.
