One of the most influential and visionary filmmakers of the current generation, Christopher Nolan currently stands on the verge of earning his first-ever Oscar win with <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/oppenheimer/">Oppenheimer.</a> A director who started making films at the age as early as seven, he has won international acclaim and repute for his mind-bending story-telling, awe-inspiring, and mostly practical visuals, as well as putting together a cast that brings the finest possible performance out of the script and onto the screens.
In the time that he prepares to grace the red carpet at the 96th Academy Awards, ardent fans as well as film admirers, in general, believe that an Oscar win for Christopher Nolan remains long overdue. A large group of those took to social media such as X (formerly Twitter) to recall the long history of ‘snubs’ to the director starting from 2002 while whole-heartedly pinning their hopes on Oppenheimer to not only break the over two decades&#8217; worth of wait but also ensure one of his strongest winning streaks at the most coveted platform in the film industry.

Christopher Nolan received his first Oscar nomination for the 2000 film Memento, winning a Best Screenplay nod in 2002. Thereafter, he received two nods for Best Picture and Best Screenplay in 2011 for Inception, followed by two more in 2018 for Best Director and Best Picture for Dunkirk.

In strong unison of support, fans predicted the number of wins coming the filmmaker’s way and their plausible reactions if he loses.
<h2>Fans stand through thick and skin for Christopher Nolan to win his first Oscar with Oppenheimer</h2>
Nolan’s ability to craft a non-linear storyline about a rather grim subject and turn it into a visual masterpiece has brought him the backing of cinema lovers who are going as far as to say that he should win all thirteen of his nominations even as others pointed out other of his popular movies that should have already won one before. Famed movies like Interstellar not earning the director even one Oscar nomination had fans questioning the rationale while crossing their fingers for Oppenheimer.
