Over 20 years of great films, and he finally gets what’s rightfully his. Congratulations Chris!

His first Oscar win? That is genuinely surprising. I'm always looking forward to whatever he makes next. Such a great director and storyteller.

The hug that Nolan gave Spielberg you could see it was like a kid meeting his favourite hero truly emotional.

Seeing Spielberg hand Nolan his first Oscar for directing has to be one of the best moments of Oscar History!! ⭐️ Huge congratulations to Christopher Nolan and the cast and crew of Oppenheimer for a successful evening!! 🎥

The way that hug with Spielberg turned into an embrace. You can just see Nolan transform into a little kid meeting his hero.

2:49 "Producer of all our films and all our children." Very witty line. Praise Nolan!

Nolan should’ve won for The Dark Knight. Glad he won.

This really is Christopher Nolan’s Schindler’s List moment. The man has been a directorial tour de force for over two decades and now he’s received the Oscar for it. Well earned Mr. Nolan.

[BatAmerica]

Christopher Nolan always knows how to engage the audience while commanding the scene. The thought that he finally gets the Oscar for a character who is so similar in perfectionism is so fitting.

Inception was one the BEST cinematic experiences ever so I am THRILLED this man actually won this well-deserved award

[Dripster]

He was about to shed a tear in the end. Good dude

1:35 The way he hugs Spielberg is like meeting his heroes for the first time, which is something that us who wants to be like filmmakers would do if we receive our Oscars from a director who we always looked up to.

[Howlingburd]

I’m honestly impressed at how… “smooth” and professional Nolan was when he made his speech :)

Wes Anderson & Nolan finally getting an Oscar on the same night is special

[abirzxz]

Robert looked so proud and happy for him

[steelwayne]

I’ve been Nolan’s fan for almost 20 years. This Oscar is long overdue. Congratulations!

Nolan winning is well deserved. The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, Momento, Dunkirk could have all won in some fashion or another. Legendary moment to see Spielberg hand Nolan his first gold statue.

[Bjorks]

Nolan has two wins in this video. Number one is getting a Best Director trophy and number two us having Steven Spielberg as the one who presented the award to him, that's such a huge honour

[wingsofx]

Why did Pirates of the Caribbean play him out?

I’ve waited a very long time to see Christopher Nolan win his first Oscar. My wish came true. And watching Steven Spielberg give him the award and hug him is icing on the cake.
