Fresh off a year of box office dominance, Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” cemented its place in awards history by claiming the coveted Best Picture award at the 96th Academy Awards. The historical drama, chronicling the development of the atomic bomb, capped off a triumphant night, adding Best Picture to its collection of seven Oscars.
