Christian Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' sweeps the BAFTAs and Juan Antonio Bayona leaves empty-handed

The 'Oppenheimer' film, by director Christopher Nolan, won the BAFTA award this Sunday of British cinema for best film, in addition to also winning six other awards, becoming the great winner of this edition of the gala, with a total of 7 awards. Very close came the Poor Creatures, by the Greek Yiorgos Lanthimos, which won five golden masks, including best actress for Emma Stone.

The three-hour film 'Oppenheimer' delves into the mind of the creator of the atomic bomb, the American theoretical physicist of Jewish origin J.Robert Oppenheimer, while posing moral dilemmas.

The film 'Oppenheimer' won today at the 77th edition of the BAFTAs with a total of seven awards for best director (Christopher Nolan), best film, best leading actor (Cillian Murphy), best original score, best photography, best editing and best supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr).

The film The Zone of Interest, by British director Jonathan Glazer, won the BAFTA this Sunday in London for best foreign language film, a category in which it competed with The Snow Society, by spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona.

The Spanish director, who had just won the Goya for best direction for this film, his fourth Goya as a director in his artistic career, was just short of the BAFTAs, just as he did at the last Golden Globes, where that film also started as one of the candidates in non-English speaking.
