Atom bomb epic Oppenheimer won seven prizes — including best picture, director and actor — at the 77th British Academy Film Awards on Sunday. Gothic fantasia Poor Things took five prizes.
Christopher Nolan was named best director, and Cillian Murphy won the best actor prize for playing J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb.
Emma Stone was named best actress for Poor Things, which also won several craft and design prizes at Britain’s equivalent of the Oscars.
Oppenheimer had 13 nominations but missed out on the record of nine trophies, set half a century ago by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
