Several Irish stars have made it to Hollywood, and some have performed in the industry with their body and soul. Cillian Murphy secured an Oscar for his astounding performance in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Still, he is not the first Irish star to win Hollywood’s most prestigious award for the achievement in cinema that the world graciously follows.

After collaborating with Christopher Nolan in five movies in supporting roles, Cillian Murphy made headlines as he was announced to be the lead star of Oppenheimer, which also marked their sixth collaboration. Murphy is no stranger to what Nolan wants and he delivered his best performance to date. The Irish star secured the Oscar for Best Actor while the movie dominated the award ceremony claiming seven wins including Nolan’s Best Director and Best Picture award.

“Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas, it’s been the wildest, most exhilarating, most creatively satisfying journey you’ve taken me on over the last 20 years,” the actor graciously thanked Nolan and his wife during his acceptance speech. “I owe you more than I can say. thank you so much,” the actor graciously thanked Nolan and his wife during his acceptance speech.

The actor also took a little space to celebrate his win with his roots, “I’m a very proud Irishman standing here tonight,” he added in his speech before dedicating his win to every peacemaker in the world.

“You know, we made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb, and for better or for worse, we’re all living in Oppenheimer’s world, so, I would like to dedicate this to the peacemakers everywhere.”

Of course, Murphy deserved the win as he brilliantly played one of the most important figures in American history, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and the ups and downs of his life. 

Murphy is the first Irish-born actor to win a Best Actor Oscar but not the first Irishman to win the Golden Statue, here are the actors with the Oscar win.
