  • Oscars 2024 Christopher Nolan signs his revenge after more than two decades of traveling in the desert: Oppenheimer gives him his first Oscar

It was sung.

After winning the Golden Globe and the Bafta for best film (

Oppenheimer

) and best director,

Christopher Nolan

(53) gave his all in the Oscar pools by winning the award in the same categories.

In addition, the film won another 5 statuettes

out of a total of 13 nominations

.

Who was going to tell the British-American director that he started making his first shorts with an 8 mm camera using his dolls as protagonists.

Despite having graduated in English literature, Christopher preferred to transmit his knowledge through images and participate in various festivals with his short films.

In his first year of study at University College London he met

Emma Thomas

, who at that time was headed to work in public administration like his father.

But everything changed overnight when Christopher

invited her to go to the university's Film Society

.

From that moment on they did not stop watching movies and the young woman fell in love with the stories that were told.

They married in 1997 and the following year they debuted on the big screen with

Following

, where she was the producer and also had a small role.

That was the embryo for the couple to start

a joint project together as director and producer

.

With

Memento

(2000) Nolan achieved international recognition and then came blockbusters such as The

Black Knight

trilogy (2005-2012) -2,465.3 million dollars in collection-,

Inception

(2010) -839 million dollars-,

The Man of steel

(2013) -668 million dollars-

The Nolan-Thomas marriage is powerful.

When Cillian Murphy won the Bafta for best performer she noted that it was "

the most dynamic, decent and friendly producer-director partnership

in Hollywood."

If they are successful in business, they are not short on a personal level either because they have formed an adorable family with four children, Flora, Rory, Oliver and Magnus.

They have all participated as performers in some of their parents' films.

Such is the devotion that Christopher feels for his family that after becoming a millionaire and successful filmmaker, he decided to protect his films by

including the names of his children

in all the titles.

For example,

The Dark Knight

was filmed under the working title of

Rory's First Kiss,

Inception

was called

Oliver's Arrow

, and

Interstellar

was called

Flora's Letter

.

Little given to talking about his private life, Nolan once confessed that "I have come to believe in

the concept of love at first sight

because I have realized that it has really happened to me."

If in his public appearances he always shows a stern and slow countenance, Emma defines him as a "fun" being and points out that "people believe that he is very serious and they accuse his films of also being very serious."

The family lives in Los Angeles.

According to the

Celebrity Net Worth

portal , Nolan has a fortune of 250 million dollars.
