The prestigious awards that are always creating significant moment, will certainly do it again. Only All About Eve (1950); La La Land (2016) and Titanic (1997) have received more nominations than Oppenheimer’s 13. Ben-Hur (1959); The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), and Titanic (1997) each won 11 Oscars and Christopher Nolan would love to see his film alongside those ‘winningest’ in history.
