'Oppenheimer' Is Highest-Grossing Best Picture Winner Since 'Lord of the Rings'

Oppenheimer has just completed a magnificent evening of gold-plated glory at tonight's Academy Awards, topped off by its deserved award for Best Picture. Christopher Nolan's masterpiece has broken a number of records since release and claimed another one tonight — one which probably was not anticipated by anybody when it was first greenlit. Nolan's film, a three-hour biopic and historical thriller about the development of the first atomic bomb, wasn't just critically acclaimed, it was an unexpected commercial success.
