'Oppenheimer' star Cillian Murphy snags top honour at Irish academy awards

Cillian Murphy was honoured with the Best Lead Actor award at the 21st Irish Film and TV Academy Awards held in Dublin.

According to Variety report, Murphy, who has already clinched an Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and SAG Award this season, added to his impressive list of accolades with his latest win for his role in Christopher Nolan’s film Oppenheimer.

Murphy was presented the award by Lily Gladstone, a fellow actor known for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon.

In his acceptance speech, he expressed, "Being in this room is so special — being at home, with people that I love and admire amongst my fellow nominees and some of my favourite people."

Lily Gladstone, who was also a nominee for best international actress, described Murphy’s numerous wins this season as a "clean sweep."

However, the international actress award went to Emma Stone for her performance in Poor Things, with the prize being collected on her behalf by producer Ed Guiney.
