Seeing Spielberg hand Nolan his first Oscar for directing has to be one of the best moments of Oscar History!! ⭐️ Huge congratulations to Christopher Nolan and the cast and crew of Oppenheimer for a successful evening!! 🎥
Okay relax, idk about "best moment of Oscar history" lmao. But I'm sure it's a moment Nolan will cherish for a long time; I do feel really happy for him.
This really is Christopher Nolan’s Schindler’s List moment. The man has been a directorial tour de force for over two decades and now he’s received the Oscar for it. Well earned Mr. Nolan.
@@EthanDuran-xx5pu Additionally, Spielberg and Nolan also had a huge sentiment around them prior to their wins that they were massively overdue, and it wasn't until they made a World War II-set film (that also happened to be a huge box office hit) that they finally won.
Man that’s exactly what I said way before the movie came out when I saw the 5 minute video of the movie I thought that it was gonna something on the same lines as Schindler’s List I’m glad i called it all those months ago
@@EthanDuran-xx5pu Jurassic Park was a Technical Achievement Masterpiece and Schindler’s List was a historical piece that was a double edged sword which was a made within the same timeframe of each other that guaranteed him Oscar “gold”.
1:35 The way he hugs Spielberg is like meeting his heroes for the first time, which is something that us who wants to be like filmmakers would do if we receive our Oscars from a director who we always looked up to.
He has many Golden Globes, SAG, BAFTA and countless others. But it's about time he finally won his first Academy Award. That one seemed to escape him for so many years. 8 nominations. He deserved this for so many other movies he made as well
Christopher Nolan always knows how to engage the audience while commanding the scene. The thought that he finally gets the Oscar for a character who is so similar in perfectionism is so fitting.
Yes. It was a very elegant speech. But I've heard many interviews with Christopher Nolan and I'm always impressed with how articulate and erudite he is.
I’ve never wanted anyone to win an Oscar more. This man is the reason I got into film. When I saw The Dark Knight on a poor quality DVD at home as a teenager, I remember thinking “Wow, okay.. that’s something I’ve never seen before”. It was the first time a film had truly captivated me. So when Inception came out a year later I decided to go see it in the cinema for a better experience - and I was completely blown away. It showed me the possibilities were endless with this art form and ever since I’ve been a massive fan of Chris’ work. I’m sure I’m not alone - Chris has raised an entire generation of film buffs and yet with Oppenheimer, he somehow raised the bar even further. An astonishing film from one of the very best filmmakers there’s ever been. So very well deserved.
I’ve waited a very long time to see Christopher Nolan win his first Oscar. My wish came true. And watching Steven Spielberg give him the award and hug him is icing on the cake.
@@trappedintimesurroundedbye5477 gonna give that person the benefit of the doubt and say they probably know Wes Anderson but didn't know he won an oscar for his short tonight
Nolan has two wins in this video. Number one is getting a Best Director trophy and number two us having Steven Spielberg as the one who presented the award to him, that's such a huge honour
Yes he's one of those. If you can work with him, you probably try to get the gig...In any capacity, actor, editor, etc. Because it will enrich your experience, plus a chance to make something artistically satisfying. Robert Downey talked about how he felt improved for having worked with Nolan and the other actors.
@@scottb3034yeah but hes done such incredible pieces in nolan movies. I think time is the greatest piece of film music since once upon a time in America. Even if not that, interstellar or the dark knight would make more sense. Either way pirates is cool so not mad
because Nolan is a bit of a pirate in the eyes of the academy. He has never longed for or romanticized over winning an oscar. It's just not something that he cared about as much as everyone else, and he never sought approval from the academy. He sticks to his own style and he never changed his filmmaking interests just to win any oscars. As one article on Slate put it, he waited for the academy to come to him. Or just because it's a nice Hans Zimmer piece.
Nolan winning is well deserved. The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, Momento, Dunkirk could have all won in some fashion or another. Legendary moment to see Spielberg hand Nolan his first gold statue.
I absolutely love that embrace between Nolan and Spielberg. The interaction between them and Speilberg presenting the award truly feels like a passing of the torch
From Sugarland Express to Schindler‘s List: 19 years. From Memento to Oppenheimer: 23 years. Spielberg had his Indiana Jones trilogy and had to wait unnecessarily to be rewarded by the Academy. Christopher Nolan had his Dark Knight trilogy and had to wait unnecessarily to be rewarded by the Academy. Two legends with similar trajectories.
@@Abigblueworld Here we go 🙄🙄🙄. These awards shouldn’t be about race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. There’s always going to be snubs and someone who deserved it more. This brilliant director is one of those individuals. It’s been a long time coming. The academy is now setting rules for more minorities to get nominated, and women have won Best Director even before that rule was put into place. It should be about the art and not about the individual who makes it.
One of my favorite moments of the night. Having Steven Spielberg announcing Nolan as Best Director was amazing to me. Then seeing Spielberg hand over the Oscar to Nolan spoke volumes to me. Very poetic in a way
Nolan couldn't have picked a better time to win the Oscar. Getting it from Steven Spielberg must have been a dream come true! Also that speech was just class!
@prissylily25 I don’t know if you were a fan of The Dark Knight or not, but assuming if you are, do you agree with me Nolan was snubbed a Best Director nod for it 15 years ago? Not saying he should have won it but I think he should have been nominated that year. This all makes it moot!
What?? I’ve been a fan for quite a while but never realized that he’s never won an Oscar! Genuinely surprised! He’s one of the most deserving directors to ever receive the award 🎉
This was the best moment of the night for me. My favourite director Steven Spielberg presenting my favourite award to my second favourite director Christopher Nolan.
1:32 two GOATs of each generation. It’s like seeing a passing of torch. As much as I hopped to see him winning the oscar with one of his previous films, still happy to see Chirstopher Nolan finally winning best director.
Both Nolan and Spielberg won their Best Director Oscars same ages as each other; Spielberg won for Saving Private Ryan at 52, and also at 47 for Schindler's List, while Nolan won his at 53.
Why were they playing Pirates of the Caribbean as he exited the stage? 😭😭 Also congrats to my favorite director of all time getting an award he didn’t need because we all know how masterful he is.

I'm still so fuxking happy Chris Nolan got the Award he deserved since inception. HES a great film director. He's constantly growing and getting better at his craft
My favorite part of Spielberg being there to hand Nolan the award is the fact that Spielberg said before that "The Dark Knight" totally should have been nominated for Best Picture.
I'm so proud and happy for Mr. Christopher Nolan finally winning an Oscar. I've been a fan of his work since Batman Begins in 2005. He is one of the filmmakers that has been an inspiration to me, and makes the kind of movies that I get excited about. Congratulations Mr. Nolan for your Oscar. Well deserved. Well done sir 👍.
After 20 years of films like Memento, The Dark Night Trilogy, and Inception. Christopher Nolan's hard work finally paid off and earned him his long awaited and deserved Oscar
It took the Academy that long to finally give this talented and ambitious director the recognition he deserves. Even though he was robbed for Inception and The Dark Knight, I'm glad he got his due. Like gravity, all it took was a push.
Finally! Fans have known he is the benchmark in Hollywood for many years. No other director is associated to quality like him, never need to wait for a review, just book your ticket. Just glad we get to witness his body of work.
Soon-to-be Sir Christopher Nolan. Thank you so much for all you've done to take cinema to the next level. He is the 70s-90s Steven Spielberg of our age.
Congratulations Christoper Nolan! Over 20 years of making incredible movies, well deserved Oscar win for best director. Oppenheimer is an absolute masterpiece. 👏👏👏👏
Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan are my favorite movie directors ever. It must have been a great honor for Nolan to have recieved an Oscar by my favorite movie director ever
It really is surprising it’s his first Oscar. Interstellar, The Dark Knight, Inception?! Like really? They are all iconic films and he does it without CGI. Unreal in todays films
People have chafed at Nolan being described as the next Kubrick or Malick -maybe because it’s obvious: he’s the next Spielberg! He’s already made his thriller, his 2001 inspired sci-fi movie, his action-adventure trilogy, his war film, his personal statement (I think that was Inception), and now his epic historical drama. Now when do we get the Nolan musical, or Nolan Peter Pan?
Memento Insomnia The Prestige Batman Begins The Dark Knight Inception The Dark Knight Rises Interstellar Dunkirk Tenet Oppenheimer That's a hell of a resume to have.
There is something poetic about seeing Steven Spielberg present the Oscar for best director to Christopher Nolan for Oppenheimer 25 years after Steven himself won his third Oscar for Saving Private Ryan.
The hug that Nolan gave Spielberg you could see it was like a kid meeting his favourite hero truly emotional.
He's always spoke about how highly he looks up to Spielberg

@@Abigblueworldsomeone’s upset that Barbie didn’t win best picture
Yes I agree 100% but I wasn’t the biggest fan of Oppenheimer
AGREED! HE PUT SO MUCH EFFORT IN EVERY FILM HE HAS DONE SO FAR, BUT OPPENHEIMER, HE PUT THE MOST EFFORT THAN ANY OTHER FILM IMYO!
Absolutely
The way that hug with Spielberg turned into an embrace. You can just see Nolan transform into a little kid meeting his hero.
That is the part that gets me
They were friends before this took place, but yes, that embrace was definitely special for Chris.
His first Oscar win? That is genuinely surprising. I'm always looking forward to whatever he makes next. Such a great director and storyteller.
@@Abigblueworld cry 🤣
@@Abigblueworld ok
@@Abigblueworld You're so salty lmaooooo. How are you gonna hate on Poor Things for winning 4 times
He's very good and also very popular with the public. But the the strength of this film is like his Magnus Opus, I think.
Not really, his movies usually aren't up the academy's alley. This one was, so he could finally be rewarded with one.

What's cooler is that Spielberg was one of the first people Nolan showed the completed film to, on 70mm. This moment brought things full circle.
it’s about time he won an award 😭
Right 😂
He has many Golden Globes, SAG, BAFTA and countless others. But it's about time he finally won his first Academy Award. That one seemed to escape him for so many years. 8 nominations. He deserved this for so many other movies he made as well
Shows how hard it is to win an Oscar
@@IcemenMike45 Agreed!
EXACTLY!
Nolan should’ve won for The Dark Knight. Glad he won.
Exactly and About Time Christopher Nolan Won a Best Director!
That was his MVP movie right there. Oppenheimer made sure that no other movies will ever win it.
@@PeanutButterAndJellyBros Christopher Nolan is Fantastic For a Film Director!
Actually, he should have won for Inception. But I’m glad he finally won because he definitely deserves it.
He should have won for Inception too.
Christopher Nolan always knows how to engage the audience while commanding the scene. The thought that he finally gets the Oscar for a character who is so similar in perfectionism is so fitting.
I’m honestly impressed at how… “smooth” and professional Nolan was when he made his speech :)
Yes. It was a very elegant speech. But I've heard many interviews with Christopher Nolan and I'm always impressed with how articulate and erudite he is.

From directing 3 Batman movies back in the 2000s to Oppenheimer, he deserves it man well deserved. Man he’s a real London HERO.
I mean Memento showed us what Nolan could do early on. Hell Following was an early teaser of his prowess, and Nolan filmed that on a budget of $7,000.
Spielberg walking on Schindliers List theme.... absolute goosebumps
I genuinely believe some actors/actresses will volunteer to work freely for him even if he doesn't agree to it. What a GOAT!
Yes he's one of those.

Oppenheimer drew Matt Damon out of Semi-retirement for today exact reason. 👍
@@francescaa8331 yeah he's a master at work, even experienced actors can learn a lot working with him
