He sticks to his own style and he never changed his filmmaking interests just to win any oscars. As one article on Slate put it, he waited for the academy to come to him.

Love seeing Nolan and Spielberg, 2 of the greatest directors, hug

Spielberg walking on Schindliers List theme.... absolute goosebumps

This is like when Leonardo finally got his well deserved Oscar back then

that hug he gave spielberg is everything

1st win on his 8th nom is wild. He should have many Oscars, one of the best film makers of our time.

it’s about damn time, he’s brilliant

Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan hugging it out?! Now I've seen everything!! 😁

I’ve never wanted anyone to win an Oscar more. This man is the reason I got into film. When I saw The Dark Knight on a poor quality DVD at home as a teenager, I remember thinking “Wow, okay.. that’s something I’ve never seen before”. It was the first time a film had truly captivated me. So when Inception came out a year later I decided to go see it in the cinema for a better experience - and I was completely blown away. It showed me the possibilities were endless with this art form and ever since I’ve been a massive fan of Chris’ work. I’m sure I’m not alone - Chris has raised an entire generation of film buffs and yet with Oppenheimer, he somehow raised the bar even further. An astonishing film from one of the very best filmmakers there’s ever been. So very well deserved.

This was a moment that so many of us have waited years to see happen!!!

I’m So Happy For Christopher Nolan Winning Best Director Seeing Steven And Christopher Hugging is a Classic Moment!

My favorite director for the past 15 years. I couldn’t be more proud of him.

One of my favorite moments of the night. Having Steven Spielberg announcing Nolan as Best Director was amazing to me. Then seeing Spielberg hand over the Oscar to Nolan spoke volumes to me. Very poetic in a way

@prissylily25 I don’t know if you were a fan of The Dark Knight or not, but assuming if you are, do you agree with me Nolan was snubbed a Best Director nod for it 15 years ago? Not saying he should have won it but I think he should have been nominated that year. This all makes it moot!

My two favorite directors, one handling the Oscar to the other. Congrats, Christopher Nolan! It's about time!

was waiting on this one! this man deserves all the awards he’s such a legend and he’ll go down as one of the best of all time!

One legend giving the award to another.

There is something poetic about seeing Steven Spielberg present the Oscar for best director to Christopher Nolan for Oppenheimer 25 years after Steven himself won his third Oscar for Saving Private Ryan.

This is a long time coming. I LOVE his films.

The award he should have won for The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, maybe even Dunkirk... ABOUT TIME!

One of the greatest directors in history presents the Oscar to another great director. A truly great moment and fine acceptance speech.

One of the most legendary presenter-to-winner combos in Oscar history

🎉🎉Very happy! Wish he would’ve won for Inception

"If you make yourself more than just a man and become an ideal. And if they can't stop you. You become something else entirely. A legend."

This award definitely deserves Chris🎉

Spielberg was the perfect choice of presenter for this Oscar. I went bananas when Christopher Nolan won Best Director. It was so well deserved.

Well deserved as he changed the way Hollywood makes films for ever.

I did a double take hearing this was his first ever Oscar win. I legit thought this guy would've had several by now.

I'm so proud and happy for Mr. Christopher Nolan finally winning an Oscar. I've been a fan of his work since Batman Begins in 2005. He is one of the filmmakers that has been an inspiration to me, and makes the kind of movies that I get excited about. Congratulations Mr. Nolan for your Oscar. Well deserved. Well done sir 👍.

I wonder what Spielberg said to him… he doesn’t just hug him he holds him

He is brilliant at directing and seems so cared for by the actors. Bravo

After 20 years of films like Memento, The Dark Night Trilogy, and Inception. Christopher Nolan's hard work finally paid off and earned him his long awaited and deserved Oscar

1 Christopher nolan 2 Yorgos lanthimos 3 Martin scorsese 4 Justine triet 5 Jonathan glazer At least since Inception he should have already had his Oscar for Best Director. They ate a lot of shit to give Christopher nolan his moment. I wasn't asking for Oppenheimer to win Best Picture, the only thing I was asking was for Christopher nolan to win Best Director.

Nolan has been one of my favorite working directors for so many years. So happy to see him finally get this Oscar.

1:33 goosebumps ❤️‍🔥

The world will remember this day.

Congratulations Christoper Nolan! Over 20 years of making incredible movies, well deserved Oscar win for best director. Oppenheimer is an absolute masterpiece. 👏👏👏👏

He finally won. Thank god. And announced by Spielberg? Bruh this award show was awesome.

"As it was written."

He was beautifully childlike in the way that he kept looking at that Oscar. I got the sense that he'd been dreaming of that moment for most of his life. One of the most hard-earned and well-deserved Oscars in film history...

People have chafed at Nolan being described as the next Kubrick or Malick -maybe because it’s obvious: he’s the next Spielberg! He’s already made his thriller, his 2001 inspired sci-fi movie, his action-adventure trilogy, his war film, his personal statement (I think that was Inception), and now his epic historical drama. Now when do we get the Nolan musical, or Nolan Peter Pan?

Steven Spielberg needs to be way more open about frequently collaborating with his previous actors. Christopher Nolan won 2 Oscars because he acknowledged the value and significance of collaborating in order to succeed.

That sound in the end is just incredible.

Brilliant man and beautiful on point speech

Nolan was my Scorsese. All these amazing films but always snubbed at the Oscars.

Finally it happened. Watching all of his masterpieces for last 20 years. He is an Absolute genius.

1:32 two GOATs of each generation. It’s like seeing a passing of torch. As much as I hopped to see him winning the oscar with one of his previous films, still happy to see Chirstopher Nolan finally winning best director.

One of the best director speeches in my opinion. Ibv biased, but this man has such love for good cinema

This one felt very surreal to me man watching my favorite Classic director like Spielberg presenting Best Director and awarding it to Nolan my favorite Modern day Director is just really something out of this world for me man and I absolutely loved witnessing it seriously

What a special moment for a special man. I'm so happy that Chris finally won an Oscar and the fact that Spielberg gave this to him is beautiful. In my opinion we may be seeing the greatest director of all time.

It’s something that Hitchcock and Kubrick couldn’t do. Congrats Nolan. A much deserved win.

About time, man. Wonderful job and a long time coming for an Oscar. Congrats Oppenhomies!!

Favorite nolan films. Interstellar, the dark knight, inception, memento, batman begins, oppenheimer.

So past due this Oscar to Chris Nolan. One of the greatest filmmakers of all times.

Out of everything to come from the Oscars this year, I'm glad Christopher Nolan won best director. Absolutely well deserved

Very very very deserved

In Loving Memory Of Julius Robert Oppenheimer (4/22/1904-2/18/1967)

One of the best film directors of our time, finally winning an Oscar is so incredibly thrilling to see! Congrats to Christopher Nolan, his movies are always an event to be experienced 🙌🏻🔥

It was a passing the torch moment. Two great directors on the same stage!

Oscars should title these "2024 winner for Best Director" so we can watch it and be surprised who wins for those who didn't tune in live.

From Sugarland Express to Schindler‘s List: 19 years. From Memento to Oppenheimer: 23 years. Spielberg had his Indiana Jones trilogy and had to wait unnecessarily to be rewarded by the Academy. Christopher Nolan had his Dark Knight trilogy and had to wait unnecessarily to be rewarded by the Academy. Two legends with similar trajectories.

1:34 so cool to see two of the greatest directors of all time hugging at the Oscar’s!

CHRISTOPHER NOLAN IS THE GOAT. All hail GOAT NOLAN!!!!!
