Cillian Murphy has just won his first Oscar, as Best Actor for his riveting turn in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. After five collaborations with Nolan, this was Murphy’s first time in a lead role in one of the director’s films — and nabbed him his first-ever Oscar nomination, and the first win in the category for an Irish-born actor. In a shoutout to his homeland from the Dolby stage, Murphy said, “I’m a very proud Irishman standing here tonight.” 

Before the 96th Academy Awards 14 women had won the Best Actress Oscar more than once. That list has now expanded by one after Emma Stone won her second trophy in the category for Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.” She previously won in 2017 for “La La Land.” READ MORE: Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos are ready for you to experience the fantastical world of “Poor Things” [Interview] As Bella Baxter, Stone portrays a young woman coming to terms with misogyny in a fantastical version of late 1800s Europe.

There have been numerous times over the course of Cillian Murphy’s career when he could have easily earned his first Academy Award nomination. There was his transformative performance in “Breakfast on Pluto.” His harrowing turn in “28 Days Later.” Or even his acclaimed performance in “The Wind That Shakes the Barley.” But after 20 years into his feature film career, that moment finally arrived with longtime collaborator Christopher Nolan and “Oppenheimer.” And now, Murphy has caped that achievement by winning Best Actor at the 96th Academy Awards.

Don’t call it a career win because few would argue that Robert Downey, Jr. didn’t deliver one of his best performances ever as Lewis Strauss in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” That immense talent was rewarded with his first Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category at the 96th Academy Awards.
