event that gave oppenheimer seven academy awards, including best picture and best director for christopher nolanbeen a huge fan of nolan's work, and it was fascinating to get the opportunity to sit down with him and talk about the craft of film—making. he's a very thoughtful and personable individual. and despite his reputation on set for seriousness, i found him warm and quite relaxed. how important was it to make this film an entertaining film? it's notjust a dry kind of biopic. how important was it to bring that kind of level of entertainment for an audience to you? well, entertainment is a tricky word to use on the face of it, with such dark subject matter, but entertainment is just about engagement. you know, you can be entertained by a horror story the same way as by a comedy. we wanted to engage the audience. i wanted it to race along. you are the man who gave them the power to destroy themselves. away from hollywood, one of my favourite experiences of the year was travelling to south korea and exploring the movie scene there. it was fascinating to see the changes that are going on there,

and i thought those were absolutely fair enough, because what christopher nolan has done, not just for film, but also for the prestige of britain in that regard, is astonishing and unparalleled. so i think there is a place for the honours system, i think, especially knighthoods rather than peerages, because peerages, as we all know, are just basically the creation of party leaders who want to get their friends into the house of lords. whereas knighthoods can recognise significant achievement. and at this point, i would say that i'm continually surprised that david beckham has not been recognised, because probably no man has done more for british sport than david beckham. he clearly really wants a knighthood. i mean, he spends a lot of time with the royal family. he went to the state banquet with the emir of qatar the other day. he's done a huge amount as an ambassador for this country. and the knighthood is not coming. and you think, well, if sir sadiq and sir stephen fry can step up, why not sir david beckham alexander? >> you often hear from commentators and critics that the honours
