Cillian Murphy’s first Oscar for “Oppenheimer”
In Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated biopic “Oppenheimer,” Cillian Murphy won his first Oscar by trotting on stage and addressing the audience as a “very proud Irishman.” Murphy played the guy who built the atomic bomb.
“After winning Cillian Murphy’s first Oscar best actor for his outstanding performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer, I’m a little overwhelmed,” Murphy remarked. The movie narrates how Oppenheimer and his colleagues at Los Alamos would test the bomb on July 16, 1945, without understanding what would happen, and the consequences that followed.
Backstage, he remarked, “I’m very humbled.” “Thank you so much.”
Murphy had always been a supporting role, even though he had appeared in many of the almost two decades of Nolan films. Nolan desired that he takes the lead this time.
Murphy expressed his gratitude to Nolan and Emma Thomas, the director’s wife and the movie’s producer.
Murphy told Nolan, “It’s been the wildest, most exciting, most creatively satisfying journey you’ve taken me on over the last 20 years.” “I can’t express how much I owe you.”
The Irish actor claimed that when he was younger, he tried out for a film with Christopher Nolan and believed it would be his only chance to work with him.
“I assumed that would be the end,” he remarked. “I believed spending a few hours in a room with Chris would be sufficient. I’m appreciative of this.
For “Rustin,” Colman Domingo defeated Bradley Cooper; Paul Giamatti defeated Murphy for “The Holdovers”; and Jeffrey Wright defeated Murphy for “American Fiction.”
On Sunday, “Oppenheimer” took home seven Oscars, including best picture, best director for Christopher Nolan, and an Oscar for supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr.
Murphy referred to Nolan as an amazing writer and producer in addition to being the ideal director.
Murphy stated, “We made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb.” We all live in Oppenheimer’s world, for better or worse, so I would really like to dedicate this to the peacemakers. everywhere.
Presenter Ben Kingsley praised Murphy’s bravery and faith in Nolan for accepting the part without having seen the script.
Kingsley praised the performance, saying it was outstanding. Murphy’s depiction of Oppenheimer, he admitted, had “layers of humanity whilst his character created something inhumane.”
Kingsley went on, “It’s fascinating to watch.”
Last year, Murphy told The Associated Press that when Nolan approached him to star as Oppenheimer, he called it was a “great day.”
Murphy said to The Associated Press last year that it was a “great day” when Nolan asked him to play Oppenheimer.
“He just said, in his very English way, ‘Listen, I wrote this script, it’s about Oppenheimer.'” He is very modest and self-deprecating. He said, “I want you to be my Oppenheimer.”
Murphy is aware that he is not a good fit for every movie, and there are some that he is.
“I’ve always told Chris, both in public and in private, that if you want me in a movie and I’m available, I’m there. The magnitude of the part doesn’t really matter to me,” he declared the previous year. However, I must admit that I was secretly itching to play a lead for him.
After winning prizes at the BAFTA Film Awards, SAG Awards, and Golden Globes, Murphy was a serious contender going into the Academy Awards.
