Small grammatical correction and no offense intended, but "Oppenheimer with Nolan at helm" would be a better way to express that thought. "At the helm of Nolan" doesn't really make sense, due to the fact that Christopher Nolan is a human, not a ship, and therefore doesn't have a helm.

Started as a young child/teenage actor in the late ‘70’s and 80’s, had big success, then had his massive downfall with jail time, then cleaned himself up and rose again to greatness! He can portray just about any character he puts his heart into and he has and always will be one of my favourite actors ever! Not to mention that he is a phenomenal singer as well!

he and cillian were amazing in the movie it's about time they both get the oscars
