Just moments after Cillian Murphy was named best actor, Christopher Nolan took home best director, his first time winning the award.

Fresh off winning the best actor in a leading role award last year, Brendan Fraser presented this year’s award to Cillian Murphy for his performance in Oppenheimer. “I’m a very proud Irishman standing here tonight,” Murphy said.

Ludwig Göransson won for best score with Oppenheimer, while “What Was I Made For” — one of two Barbie songs nominated — grabbed best original song.

The Zone of Interest picked up another Oscar, this time for best sound — beating out The Creator, Maestro, Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One, and Oppenheimer.

Wes Anderson’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar — which is streaming on Netflix — won for best live-action short film.

After snagging best editing, Oppenheimer also nabbed the cinematography award with Hoyte van Hoytema accepting the award.

There were some great documentaries nominated this year, and the winners were The Last Repair Shop (short film) and 20 Days in Mariupol (feature film). If you need to catch up, they’re pretty accessible to stream from home.

And I’m not just saying that because I am one. Oppenheimer’s Jennifer Lame took home the best editing award this year, beating out Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Poor Things.

As with the best supporting actress award, a quintet of past winners were on stage to present Robert Downey Jr. with the best supporting actor statue for his performance in Oppenheimer. He beat out a pretty stacked group including Sterling K. Brown (American Fiction), Robert De Niro (Killers of the Flower Moon), Ryan Gosling (Barbie), and Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things).

Jonathan Glazer’s movie won best international film, its first award of the night so far, and in his speech the director connected the film’s themes to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
