How many Academy Awards did Oppenheimer win at the 96th Oscars?

The story behind the answer

Oppenheimer won seven Academy Awards at the 96th Oscars.

At the ceremony held on March 10, 2024, Oppenheimer won seven Oscars from 13 nominations. Its awards included Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr.

The film also won awards for Film Editing, Original Score and Cinematography. Its success made it the leading winner of the ceremony and marked major first Academy Awards for Nolan, Murphy and Downey Jr. The result capped a long career in which Nolan had previously received nominations but had not won in the directing category.

The number seven refers to competitive Academy Awards won by the film at that ceremony. It should not be confused with nominations, which numbered 13, or with awards from other organisations such as the Golden Globes and BAFTAs.
