Christopher Nolan: Last News

The 2024 BAFTA Film Awards have come to a close, with all the gongs having been handed out during the star-studded ceremony. This year, Doctor Who star David Tennant was chosen to host the ceremony, taking over from last year's hosts Alison Hammond and Richard E.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor took to the stage at the BAFTA Film Awards tonight to perform her resurgent hit ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ – watch the footage below.The song features memorably over the now infamous final scene of Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn, and since the film’s release at the end of 2023, it has became a viral hit on TikTok and even entered the Billboard Hot 100 – her first-ever song to chart in the US. It also climbed the UK single charts, peaking at Number Two last month.The BAFTAs ceremony was hosted tonight (February 18) by David Tennant at London’s Royal Festival Hall in the Southbank Centre.

After a few years in limbo, the BAFTAs finally found a host to replace the much-missed Stephen Fry in David Tennant. The Doctor Who actor proved an amiable and funny emcee, although much of his humor would have gone way over the non-Brits in the audience, starting with a lengthy filmed skit riffing on his BBC TV series Staged, co-starring Michael Sheen. It was a night of surprises, not especially pleasant ones for the teams behind Barbie and Killers of the Flower Moon, and there were no egregious upsets. Neither were there any of the usual technical nightmares that have plagued the event in the past. 

77th British Academy Film Awards on Sunday. Gothic fantasia “Poor Things” took five prizes.Christopher Nolan was named best director for “Oppenheimer,” and Cillian Murphy won the best actor prize for playing J.

Given the number of high-wattage films garnering multiple nominations at the BAFTAs this year, the rationing of awards was always likely unpredictable on the night. And so it proved, meaning that The Zone of Interest and Poor Things had already nibbled away at Oppenheimer’s chances of a decent sweep before the Best Director award came round. With Poor Things director Yorgo Lanthimos inexplicably left out of the race, a category snub this year for Christopher Nolan would absolutely have sent a signal to the British-American director.

Prince William has admitted that he's watched fewer films than usual this year ahead of his appearance at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs). His confession comes as his wife Kate Middleton recovers from her recent abdominal surgery.

Ellise Shafer Hugh Grant channeled his inner Oompa Loompa at the BAFTA Awards on Sunday night, where the “Wonka” actor was on hand to present the award for best director. After taking the stage, Grant dryly recited a spoken-word version of his character’s song: “Oompa Loompa doompity dee/ now the best director category.

Cillian Murphy shouted out his “Oppenhomies” while accepting his leading actor BAFTA award. After thanking the film’s director Christopher Nolan, producer Emma Thomas and Universal Pictures chief Donna Langley, Murphy said: “I want to thank my fellow nominees and my Oppenhomies and, in fact, all of you in the room. I know it’s a cliché to say I’m in awe of you, but I genuinely am in awe.” Murphy played J.

Christopher Nolan has won the BAFTA Award for best director for “Oppenheimer.” In his acceptance speech, he said that while his film ended on a “dramatically necessary note of despair,” he wanted to spotlight the “individuals and organizations who have fought long and hard to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world.” “In accepting this I do just want to acknowledge their efforts and point out they show the necessity and potential of efforts for peace,” he added. The British director also said that it was an “incredible honor to be back home, to get this from BAFTA, in the festival hall where my my mum and dad used to drag me to make me have some culture.
