It feels like backstage, but technically it's not: the Oscars interview room, where Consequence It had a seat for the 96th Academy Awards, it is located in a building adjacent to the Dolby Theater, where journalists from around the world gather around the tables to ask questions to the winners fresh from their latest victory. Holding their new trophy (or two, in Christopher Nolan's case), the happiest people in a five-block radius told the press all about the importance of this night to them, the meaning of their victory, and much more. The ceremony progressed.
If you see someone missing below (::cough cough:: Robert Downey Jr.), it's because they decided to skip the interview room, which, fair enough! Oscar night is a party, after all, and not everyone has a party idea that includes a brief stop at a press conference. But many winners emerged and below are some of their best quotes.

With the conflict in Gaza on many people's minds this afternoon, Christopher Nolan and the producers of oppenheimer They were asked what kind of message people might find in the Oscar-winning film.
“I don't like to talk too specifically about the messages of the films I make because I feel like if film is didactic, it tends to not work as well dramatically,” Nolan responded. “In terms of any kind of broader message, what I would like to point out is that the film ends in what I consider a dramatically necessary moment of desperation, but I don't actually think that desperation is the answer to the nuclear problem. question… It is very important that instead of despairing, people actually look for advocacy, look for organizations that are working to pressure politicians and leaders to reduce the number of nuclear weapons on our planet and make the world be safer.”
Recalling their most memorable moments making the film, producers Emma Thomas and Charles Roven mentioned their “profound” reactions upon seeing the first cut. For Nolan, however, he mentioned “the first hair and makeup tests. There was something about seeing Cillian put on that hat and Robert Downey Jr. with his head shaved and Emily Blunt in old age makeup.”
Nolan added: “We did all that in the first test. We shot it on the first black-and-white IMAX film ever made and projected it on an IMAX screen at Universal's Citywalk, and that was a very special, special moment to realize what the actors were about. was going to do, and that the thing was going to work, and see that technical side of the things that Hoyte [van Hoytema] was bringing to the table with the photograph. It was extraordinary and I will always remember that.”
