Cillian Murphy | Best Actor in a Leading Role | Oscars 2024 Press Room Speech

Love the fact that an Irish reporter got to ask the first question. Love the bit of Gaeilge

I'm immensely proud of Cillian, and on his first ever Oscar nomination as well! He really deserved all of the accolades.

Love how the reporter greeted him with Irish Gaelic at the beginning. 🤗🇮🇪🩷

The way he carries himself, ahh what a humble man!

I just think there is something immensely special about Cillian Murphy. He’s dedicated to his craft & not celebrity. He’s a humble, shy & sweet person. And he’s just one of the finest actors of his generation, if not the finest. Cillian is my favourite win in Academy history. He absolutely deserved it. I left Oppenheimer just floored by him. So congratulations to him on making history as the 1st Irish born to win Best Actor! 👏

I don’t follow movies or actors, but Mr Murphy caught my and my husband s eye in Peeky Blinders, and went to see Oppenheimer in the Theater and loved the Movie and really pleased to see Mr Murphy so humble grateful He is a delight!

I don't know why I'm so happy for him. He deserves this. Oscars made the right decision.

Congratulations and well deserved Best Actor Oscar win for Cillian Murphy. He stole the show in Oppenheimer, gave the performance of his life. Cillian one of the best actors of his generation. 👏👏👏

Chris Nolan always wanted to give him lead roles but somehow he dodged them all citing the perfection of the role however this was always destined. We knew it was coming😊 couldn't be more happier for him. He's such an amazing artist.

Congratulations Cillian Murphy your best Oscar of the world of Oppenheimer movie.

Red eye and the wind that shakes the barley plus Tommy Shelby. Fair play to him.

I love Paul Giamatti, but Cillian Murphy is something special and it is the best actor of the year. Well deserved 👏🏻😊

As a movie lover who is crazy for movies, I watched the whole thing live and watched it over again. I have waited for the moment for wonderful people like Cillian, RDJ, Chris, Emma, Jennifer and Hoyte to get the attention they've long deserved, and to see them finally get it was a dream come true. Cillian, I have been a life-long fan of yours, ever since I was a little child. Seeing you in small parts of great movies or lead parts of small movies was sad. I always knew that you deserved the big stage, the awards, the attention you deserve. Your acting was incredible from the start of your career, your stage plays, and your first few movies, I could see your potential, even if I was young. I started supporting you from then. I have been by your side, through difficulties, and successes, cheering for you, crying for you, and always being there for you, no matter what they say. I knew that you would eventually get the attention, and the awards you deserve, and I was waiting for it. Today was the day. Today, your career has drawn a path in this industry, a path that will last forever, and I congratulate you. You have deserved it. Growing up, I watched your acting through bad times, when I was down, and you were the reason why I could be the happy child I deserved to be. I want to thank you for that. You have always been there for me. I could also always relate to your actions and your personality as they were similar to mine. That meant a lot for me as a child, as a teenager who was insecure about herself. Maybe it isn't an exaggeration to say that you have saved me and that you are the reason why I am still here, I am still passionate, and I am the person I am today. Seeing you get better and develop into an amazing actor could never be better, it was the best thing that has happened in my life. My goal is to sit together with you, in front of the biggest stage in Hollywood, and say these things to you in person. Again, congratulations on the win, you have long deserved it, just remember, this is just the start, just the start of the attention you deserve. I wish you the best, stay healthy, and just be yourself. Words cannot describe how happy I am for you. I love you. Congrats! ❤❤🎉🎉

Jonathan Glazer's acceptance speech was beautiful!!! Bravo to Mr Murphy!!

How delightful Cillian remains Cillian. ❤

He's so damn handsome. I think that really stems from his charisma and non-pretentious attitude

Cillian Murphy is a phenomenal actor he portrayed Scarecrow in Batman Begins he has fantastic acting ability

Such a lovely man he deserved it all

I just love how six parts big and medium and small and twenty years led to the perfect actor-director combo around right now that just absolutely swept the board. Just amazing! ❤❤❤

Such a humble talent. More than deserved.
