‘Oppenheimer’ is a historical movie on the ‘Father of the atomic bomb’, Julius Robert Oppenheimer. The film was released with another blockbuster movie, ‘Barbie’. This created excitement among fans and gave rise to the collaborating trend of ‘Barbenheimer’.
The mastermind Nolan did a fantastic job narrating the story and his efforts have paid off. The couple also shares a strong bond and this notable Royal honor is only possible because of their support towards each other.
“I think any of us who make movies know that you kind of dream of this moment. You know you do, right? I could deny it, but I have been dreaming about this moment for so long, but it seemed so unlikely that it would ever actually happen,” Thomas said after the Oscar win.
She continued, “And now I am standing here and everything has kind of gone out of my head. The reason this movie was the movie it was was because of Chris Nolan. He’s singular. He’s brilliant and I am so grateful for you.”
