Cillian Murphy praises Christopher Nolan for award win at 2024 Golden Globes
Cillian Murphy has praised Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan during his award accepting speech at the 2024 Golden Globes.
Cillian bagged the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for his performance in Oppenheimer.
On Sunday, the Peaky Blinders star accepted the award beating out Bradley Cooper (Maestro), Leonardo DiCaprio (Killers of the Flower Moon), Colman Domingo (Rustin), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn), and Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers).
He began his speech with, "I knew the first time I walked on a Christopher Nolan set that it was different. I could tell by the level of rigor, the level of focus, the level of dedication, the complete lack of any seating options for actors, that I was in the hands of the visionary director and master."
Cillian continued, "One of the most beautiful and vulnerable things about being an actor is that you can't do it on your own, really. We had the most incredible ensemble cast in this movie. It was magic and some of them are here today. Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Gary Oldman. Thank you for carrying me and holding me through this movie."
The Dunkirk actor concluded his monologue with, "I am the luckiest man and I love you. Thanks so much, guys!"
