Oscars 2024: ‘Oppenheimer’ wins award for Best Original Score

Los Angeles [US], March 11 (ANI): Director Christopher Nolan’s biopic film ‘Oppenheimer’ continued its unstoppable run at the Oscars 2024.

After winning the awards for Best Supporting Actor, Best Film Editing and Best Cinematography, the Cillian Murphy starrer film bagged the Oscar for Best Original Score.

Taking to X, The Academy shared a post and wrote, “Music to our ears! Ludwig Goransson is the winner of this year’s Best Original Score Oscar for ‘Oppenheimer’.”

The biopic, set during World War II, follows Oppenheimer, known as the “Father of the Atomic Bomb,” during a period in history when he understood that testing the atomic bomb would ignite the atmosphere and destroy the world, yet he pushed the button anyway.

‘Oppenheimer’ is played by Cillian Murphy, who is securing the lead for the first time in a Christopher Nolan film. Having previously starred in ‘Inception,’ ‘Batman Begins,’ ‘The Dark Knight,’ ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ and ‘Dunkirk,’ Murphy has been a mainstay in many of Nolan’s movies.

The star-studded cast includes Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, Benny Safdie, Dane DeHaan, Jack Quaid, Matthew Modine, Alden Ehrenreich, Josh Peck, Jason Clarke, David Dastmalchian, Alex Wolff, James D’Arcy, and many others. Florence Pugh plays Jean Tatlock, Emily Blunt plays Kitty Oppenheimer, Robert Downey Jr. plays Lewis Strauss and Matt Damon.
