Oscars 2024 LIVE: Who is Christopher Nolan- director of Oppenheimer
Christopher Nolan is an indisputable Hollywood hitmaker whose ambitious and challenging blockbusters entice mainstream audiences and cult followings alike. The British-American filmmaker has been named 'Best Director' at the Academy Awards for Oppenheimer.
Nolan, 53, had come close to Oscars success in the past, most notably with his stunning 2017 war epic "Dunkirk." However, he never won an Oscar before "Oppenheimer".
Born in 1970, the son of a British advertising copywriter and an American air hostess, Nolan had a distinctly trans-Atlantic childhood.
After watching "Star Wars" and a re-release of "2001: A Space Odyssey" in theaters at the age of seven, Nolan quickly began making films on his father's old Super 8 camera.
Nolan attended an austere boarding school before studying English literature at University College London -- which he chose in part for its filmmaking facilities.
While there, he met and ran a movie society with his future wife and producer, Emma Thomas, who he followed to Los Angeles after graduating.
Nolan came to fame at age 30 with "Memento." Later, veteran director Steven Soderbergh recommended Nolan to Warner Bros.
The movie's success enabled Nolan to pitch Warner his gritty, realistic vision for the new Batman films the studio was planning.
The resulting "Batman Begins" kick-started a trilogy of Nolan-directed movies starring Christian Bale as the caped crusader.
Part two, "The Dark Knight," is often considered the greatest superhero film ever made. It was certainly the first to gross $1 billion, and the first to earn an acting Oscar, a posthumous prize for Heath Ledger as the villainous Joker.
The third, "The Dark Knight Rises," drew less critical acclaim, but remains the biggest commercial hit of Nolan's, in a career filmography that has grossed more than $6 billion.
"Inception" consolidated Nolan's reputation as a unique Hollywood filmmaker.
It won four Oscars, including for its stunning visual effects, and earned Nolan his first individual Academy Award nomination since "Memento."
His next original sci-fi, "Interstellar," claimed another visual effects Oscar, and kick-started Nolan's ongoing collaboration with esteemed theoretical physicist Kip Thorne.
Nolan then directed "Dunkirk", a story on World War II. The movie earned Nolan his first Best Director nomination.
Likewise, his next movie "Tenet" -- another ambitious, original sci-fi -- introduced Nolan's concern with nuclear armageddon.
