Yeah sure. & There are also more deserving actors like Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes who never got a single oscar for their terrific performances in movies like Schindler's list. Robbed off. That's how oscars are.

[@setriq784]

Absolutely. His performance was so natural, didn't feel like an actor playing Oppenheimer, he was Oppenheimer. Love how he kept the performance subtle and quite internal, and didn't make it one of those dramatic Oscar-bait performances. That is what great acting is for me, the actor forgetting himself and becoming his character.

Rooting for Cillian Murphy to win the Oscar. His performance was so subtle and natural, you could totally forget this is an actor playing a role. It is good to see that this kind of internal performance is getting recognition, not only dramatic Oscar-bait style ones. He clearly is very handsome, intelligent and has a great voice too, hope to see him in more great films in future. I also like how he is just his introverted self in these interviews, not anymore reluctant and disappointed like he was when he was younger, but still himself, not trying to turn into a funny extrovert - there is no need, people on social media seem to love him as he is, and it is good news for all of us introverts too.

That one moment where its exposed he had an affair and hes like "he didnt die of a broken heart cause he never found out" was WILD

[@graziemille2454]

I missed it the first time but I laugh at the scene where Oppenheimer is in front of a group and someone wants more info. He glances at Groves and then subtly crosses his legs. In a few scenes earlier, Groves had told him he could talk until he felt Groves foot on a rather delicate body area.

Cillian Murphy should get the Oscar for Oppenheimer. I love his sense of containment, self sufficiency and stillness that's such a part of him even here, it enables him to be a minimalist in front of the camera which the camera loves and which commands the attention of an audience. Andrew Scott is so talented too, both are very understated and real, and have lovely vocal tones - well done Ireland. Delightful and insightful.

Cillian is dead on about Nolan's respect for the intelligence of his audience - Interstellar, Inception, and Tenet were definitely daring you to keep up.

[@kristinalfc5846]

I would say Tenet is more convoluted than intelligent

Cillian on the opening wearing all back on a black background that is a whole new atomic charisma..

Cillian, o Oscar vem !!!

One thing that occurred to me as they spoke on Ai was the significance of the movie star. We appreciate actors as they act, but we also love them for who they are outside of their roles, how they are on press junkets, on Instagram, and we love the possibility of seeing or meeting them in person. You could never meet Ai. Hopefully that will uphold the significance of human actors.

Cillian center stage ... truly deserved masterpiece performance ❤

To whoever's watching, I dare you to close your eyes for the entire interview and soak in these incredible voices

Coleman. You are a revelation! I’m so happy that you are getting your flowers. I saw you in Passing Strange and have been a fan ever since.

A pleasure to share the insights of these accomplished actors and gentlemen.

Great group of very very fine actors, love them all in so many wonderful films. That said it has been a read treat this film season to watch Cillian Murphy participating in media and at this Roundtable he is just WOW!!!!! Please powers that be recognize Cillian Murphy with an award or two for his magnificent portrayal of Oppenheimer.

it’s really so beautiful how often i hear new perspectives on how different actresses and actors approach their craft and “work” (or play, as giametti put perfectly) from these roundtables. the industry itself requires introspection and artful thinking every day, but hearing the individual and deeply unique life experiences from these guys just makes me love movies and acting so much more

Andrew Scott was incredible in All of Us Strangers

[@nancyharding5848]

Such a pleasure to watch these men speak intellectually on their art and other topics. Their humanity shone through.

So weird that they didn’t argue or fight or anything. I was expecting more violence
