Last summer director Christopher Nolan's latest feature Oppenheimer was a runaway success at the box office, nearly hitting $1 billion worldwide – which is even more impressive when you consider the fact that it's a three-hour-long R-rated biopic about the father of the atomic bomb.
Not only was it a hit at the box office, but critics lauded it with countless five-star reviews, meaning it's not exactly a surprise that it is currently leading the awards season race, receiving 13 nominations at both the BAFTAs and the Oscars. As well as earning nods in the Best Picture, Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), and Best Director (Nolan) categories, composer Ludwig Göransson has also been nominated for Best Original Score by both awards bodies, following his recent win at the Golden Globes.
