Cillian Murphy has become the first Irish-born winner of the best actor award, as Oppenheimer swept the Oscars.
He thanked Nolan and producer Emma Thomas for "the wildest, most exhilarating, most creatively satisfying journey you've taken me on".He concluded: "We made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb, and for better or for worse, we are all living in Oppenheimer's world, so I'd like to dedicate this to the peacemakers everywhere."
"I needed this job more than it needed me," he continued. "I stand here before you a better man because of it." As he accepted his first ever best director Oscar, Nolan said: "Thank you to those who have been there for me, believed in me for my whole career." The Yorgos Lanthimos film follows an infant whose brain has been implanted into the body of an adult woman, who then goes on an adventure of discovery across the world.

The critically acclaimed Holocaust drama follows a German family who live next to the Auschwitz concentration camp.Best documentary feature went to 20 Days In Mariupol. Its director Mstyslav Chernov told the audience that he was "honoured" to become the first Ukrainian Oscar winner.
