Cillian Murphy Wins Best Actor for 'Oppenheimer' | 96th Oscars (2024)

[@staceynicole8978]

What I love about Cillian is he is so shy. He hates the spotlight yet loves what he does. He puts his whole being into everything he works on and it shows. Yet he is incredibly humble.

[@alyssa0411]

He’s so enigmatic. You watch, he will disappear back to Ireland and we won’t hear from him for 6-7 months. He’s so incredibly private and puts family first. Talented but your classic textbook introvert who just loves acting.

[@paulmathews7021]

I like that he was so humble on stage, what a very fine actor, and I love that he spoke the couple of words I Irish to finish.

[@monopoman]

He was damn good in Peaky Blinders and Inception as well but Oppenheimer is his best work by far.

[@somethingelse2814]

​@@alyssa0411I agree with your sentiment. However, one can not be enigmatic and textbook. Although his affect is common among very introverted people, I would argue that his type of introversion is rather rare, but perhaps not as rare among the great people we often celebrate. It takes an impressive mind to play an impressive mind. You can see it as much in Batman Begins as you can with Oppenhiemer.

[@paulhomsy2751]

Private and shy are two very different things. He is a private individual. He isn't shy. He's a full range actor.

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

Now that's how you do it. Cillian was the only one of the winning actors that night that greeted all 5 past winners on the stage, shaking their hands. Such a humble man he is.

I feel the same way about how well he brought Tommy Shelby to life in Peaky Blinders. He didn’t just play Tommy, he was Tommy. No one else would ever have been better at that role. He has such an amazing way to almost effortlessly morph into his characters. Truly a natural at acting.

[@gautamdeusa]

As a student of theoretical physics, I am happy that Oppenheimer is getting the recognition to common people outside the world of Physics. No point of blaming him for today. He could see it coming - he only did his duty.

WELL DESERVED award for Cillian Murphy !

[@BatmanHQYT]

Really nice seeing Colman Domingo get nominated, I feel he'll win one eventually. Outstanding actor.

It’s funny, for me, the first thing I ever saw him in was “Fear the Walking Dead,” which has had such up-and-down writing and overall inconsistent quality throughout its run, but it always felt like “that dude,” whose name I admittedly didn’t even know for many seasons, seemed like he was on a different level than everybody else. Like how an elite high school athlete just looks like they’re playing a different game than everybody else, he stole basically every scene he was in, even when often given some pretty mediocre lines to deliver. It’s awesome to see him having come so far to now being introduced by Forest Whitaker and recognized alongside so many legends of the profession.

He's winning next year - Sing Sing.

Cillian's win is one of the most unsurprising in the history of the Oscars and rightfully so. The ambition alone for any actor to take on the role of such an unforgettably real person is Oscar-worthy. Congratulations, Cillian. You were great as the Scarecrow too.

Slam dunk winner. From 28 days later, low budget horror flick, to Oscar winner. He’s a top actor working today no doubt

“Go raibh míle, míle, maith agat” ~ what Cillian Murphy said at the end of his acceptance speech. It means, “May good be at you” in Gaelic. Glen Hansard also said it during his acceptance speech for his song in ONCE.

[@deeobrien5417]

It means may a thousand thank yous be with you, or thanks. Dia Dhuit is may God be with you, we say that as an hello, we say go raibh mile maith agat as a thank you

[@rd31821]

Such a humble, down-to-earth, amazing, talented actor. Great performance and well deserved! Congratulations Cillian!

[@dezperauto]

“This is the first Oscar Win and Nomination for Cillian Murphy” genuinely can’t think of a better actor who deserves that kind of treatment.

As an Irish American, nothing makes me happier than this classy man accepting this award. 🍀🍀

We won’t be seeing another movie of Oppenheimer’s caliber for a long time. Congrats Cillian on such a fabulous performance! 🎉

[@OpheliaDarkling]

A phenomenon indeed. Crazy Barbenheimer summer.

[@Calatkiks]

I know!! We’re lucky we got live in the same era as Chris Nolan masterful Emma Thomas.

[@jamielee7943]

Whenever I feel sad or disappointed in life… I just watch Cillian Murphy win his much deserved Oscar & I feel cheery again. Oppenheimer was an unbelievable performance from him & he’s been dropping brilliant roles for years. Congrats Cillian. Way to make history too 👏

[@joedotphp]

Seriously underrated actor. So, so happy he got his well deserved recognition for this role.
