Christopher Nolan's film "Oppenheimer," depicting the story of the creation of the first atomic bomb, has secured nominations for 13 Academy Awards. The three-hour film by Nolan is a frontrunner in this year's Oscars.

Following "Oppenheimer," the film "Becoming" directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, with 11 Oscar nominations, claims the second position. These two films lead the Oscars competition, facing contenders like "Moonlit Killers," "Barbie," and "Maestro."

Christopher Nolan, nominated for Best Director for "Oppenheimer," expressed genuine excitement at the recognition of his film in multiple Oscar categories. Despite being one of Hollywood's most acclaimed filmmakers, Nolan has yet to win the Best Picture Oscar.

"Oppenheimer" also earned a nomination for the lead role, with Cillian Murphy nominated for his portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist behind the atomic bomb. Additionally, Millie Blunt and Robert Downey Jr., two other actors from the film, are nominated in the supporting role category at the Oscars.
