Does anyone know if Nolan is a Brian De Palma fan?

I was watching Carrie (1976) last night and couldn't help but notice that the sound design during the prom climax is eerily similar to when Oppie is addressing the crowd in the stands and having his breakdown moment. The similar classical nature of the suspenseful score kind of took me aback too. I realize these techniques are used often, but I know Nolan is a huge Hitchcock fan and so is De Palma, so I can't help but wonder if Nolan was looking at a lot of Hitchcockian influences here.

Also, digging further, the actors Nolan has worked with compared to the same ones De Palma has worked with, it starts to paint a picture for me...

Insomnia / Al Pacino (Scarface, Carlito's Way)
Dark Knight Trilogy, The Prestige, Inception, Interstellar, Tenet / Michael Caine (Dressed to Kill)
The Prestige / Scarlett Johansson (The Black Dahlia)
Interstellar / John Lithgow (Raising Cain)
Oppenheimer / Josh Hartnett (The Black Dahlia)
Dark Knight Trilogy / Morgan Freeman (The Bonfire of the Vanities)
The Dark Knight / Aaron Eckhart (The Black Dahlia)
Insomnia / Hilary Swank (The Black Dahlia)

Just got out of IMAX 70mm showing in NYC. Pretty big crowd! I thought the aspect ratio jumping was actually really cool and effective in this. I hope Nolan’s next film is entirely in IMAX, I really hope he can successfully pull it off.

For the Southern California people here, looks like this'll be the last few days of Universal Citywalk having Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX (last day being Sunday the 24th).

Looking at their showtimes, starting on Monday, they're putting Barbie in IMAX

Editing to add:

Appears to be the same case across the board, with Regal Irvine Spectrum 70mm IMAX and TCL Chinese 70mm IMAX also ending Oppenheimer showings after this Sunday.

This is correct. I just received officially via TCL Chinese Theatre e-mail.

Imax Sydney is reopening tomorrow after being closed for many years. And they are screening Oppenheimer.
