Christopher Nolan is one of the most accomplished filmmakers of his generation, but has he ever won an Oscar?
The Oppenheimer director has been nominated eight times for the Academy Awards, going all the way back to the 2002 ceremony where he was recognized with a Best Original Screenplay nomination for Memento.
However, he’s never won outright despite also being nominated for Inception (Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay) and Dunkirk (Best Picture, Best Director).
This year, Nolan got three nominations for Best Picture as one of Oppenheimer‘s producers, its director and its screenwriter in the adapted category.
It’s very possible Nolan could sweep all three of his nominations this year and win his first three Oscars in one night. Until then, he’s still searching for his first win at the Academy Awards.
