Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has bagged the Best Drama Picture award at 2024 Golden Globes Awards.

On Sunday, Christopher marked his first victory at the Golden Globes with the best director - motion picture award for his hit movie.

Other nominees for the Best Drama Picture award were Anatomy of a Fall, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives and The Zone of Interest.

Oprah Winfrey handed the award to Oppenheimer's producer Emma Thomas, who is also the wife of director Christopher.

She began her accepting speech with, "That’s crazy. From Oprah! They weren’t kidding, this is a really intimidating room. Thank you so much to the Golden Globes — can you hear my heart beating because it’s going crazy?!. This was just an incredible experience making this film and this is just the smallest portion of the many people that made the film what it is.”

Emma continued, “and what I’ve learned sitting here, hearing everyone talk about their work, what’s so clear is that what we do is collaboration and that’s amazing, and it’s exciting and I find that to be completely magical. I have to say I am so pleased that Chris has been acknowledged because I just think that what he does is unlike anything anyone else is doing. All of this talent and these amazing actors.”

Oppenheimer producer then appreciated the team for giving their best, “the PAs, the camera assistants, everybody did their best on this film, and I think Chris sort of brings the best out of people by being the very best himself. You know, when I sort of look back on that moment when we sat down with you, I don't think it was a no-brainer by any stretch of the imagination to make a three-hour movie.”

Christopher’s movie made 953.8 million USD at the global box office.
