Oppenheimer swept the 2024 British Academy Film Awards, earning seven golden BAFTA masks on 18 February at the Royal Festival Hall in London, England.

The highest-grossing biopic of all time took home seven awards out of 13 nominations. This includes Best Picture, Best Director (Christopher Nolan), Best Leading Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Cinematography (van Hoytema), Best Editing (Lame) and Best Original Score (Göransson).

The acclaimed Oppenheimer director acknowledged the people he had worked with in the film as he collected his award: "I have so many people to thank for this incredible cause, led by the fearless of fearless Cillian Murphy. Thank you to all the others, an incredible crew… Thank you, BAFTA, for recognizing this incredible work they did for me."

"Thank you for letting us take home something 'quite dark' and seeing the potential in that," the multi-award-winning added.

Meanwhile, Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things came in second place with five wins, with Emma Stones winning the award for lead actress.

Apart from the Best Lead Actress, the dark comedy film also bagged the Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Special Visual Effects and Best Makeup and Hair.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph, who previously won a Golden Globe award for Best Supporting Actress, was once again recognized in the same category for her role in the acclaimed comedy-drama film The Holdovers.

"Thank you to BAFTA for this incredible honor. My first job as an actor was in London, so this is truly a full circle moment for me," Randolph said in a heartfelt and emotional speech. "This award is a beautiful reminder of how her [Vandolph's character] story has rippled through the world."
