"Oppenheimer" swept the board on Sunday at the Oscars, Hollywood's biggest night of the year, with seven awards including best picture and best director, crowning a triumphant year for filmmaker Christopher Nolan.

The film received a total of eight Oscar nominations, including categories for "Best Picture", "Best Supporting Actor", and "Best Supporting Actress". However, fans were disappointed by her omission from the lead role.
