LOS ANGELES (AP) — Christopher Nolan stood as staid and nonchalant as ever as crowds surrounded him and music pulsed.
His celebration was limited to casually holding a best directing Oscar, his first, and one of seven on the night for his film.
The “Oppenheimer” crowd were hardly the hardest partiers at the Vanity Fair post- Oscars party on Sunday night, but they hardly needed to be, their hardware did all the preening for them.
Nolan's wife, “Oppenheimer” producer Emma Thomas, held her own statuette, for best picture, and did most of the talking as waves of well-wishers descended on the couple.
