Oppenheimer Wins the Best Picture Academy Award

 The 96th Academy Awards 


"Oppenheimer" wins the coveted Best Picture Award for 2023 as well as Best Director (Christopher Nola), Cillian Murphy (Best Actor), Robert Downey Jr. (Best Supporting Actor), Best Original Score (Ludwig Goransson), Best Cinematography (Hoyte van Hoytema) and Best Film Editing (Jennifer Lame).  


In an awkward announcement of the winner of Best Picture, presented by Al Pacino, reminiscent of the "La La Land" fiasco from 2017, he fumbled his way to announcing the winner. 


From 2017 (89th Academy Awards)



The climax of Hollywood's biggest night ended in what will surely be a long-remembered snafu, as the initial announcement that the best picture award went to "La La Land" had to be retracted on stage and corrected to the real winner, "Moonlight." The announcement of "La La Land" was followed by several moments of apparent chaos on stage that ended with a producer of "La La Land" announcing that it was not really his picture that won.
