After countless films with Nolan as a side character, this guy comes in with his first lead and wins the Oscar. Incredible

@Animaxx010

This guy has been delivering his whole career. Finally a recognition award. Well deserved.

@harlendevraak1202

In true Cillian Murphy fashion - no self-important statements, no pretension, no overacting behavior. Thanked his family and coworkers, shoutout to his country and then capped his speech with a simple dedication to peacemakers. What a lovely guy.

@josephgouri2959

It’s outrageous that this is his 1st nomination he’s pure talent

@jr5212

And the world finally knows of Cillian Murphy's incredible talent. Bravo!!

@griffinholahan123

From a Scarecrow, Quiet Place, to Oppenheimer and an Oscar Winner! Congrats Cillian!!

@G0ddEityawesome

Pretty humble for Thomas Shelby to let Cillian Murphy receive the Oscar award for him

@atragedyifear

The way he shakes the hand of every person on the stage is really warming my heart (esp after i saw robert downey jr's win), he seems so humble and kind. So happy he won!

@gabifgt

ABSOLUTELY DESERVING OF EVERY SINGLE AWARD HE WON

@HatlessMuffin

"I declare this Oscar to Cillian Murphy, BY ORDER OF THE PEAKY BLINDERS"

@Criptex1310

He dedicated the oscar to the Peacemakers evereywhere.thats world class speech.Well deserved Cillian,well deserved.

@zerjiozerjio

It’s weird how no one is arguing against Murphy. We all know the award was rightfully his.

@David-xc4we

THE GREATEST CHRISTOPHER NOLAN ACTOR AT LAST FINALLY WON HIS OSCAR! HIS 20 YEARS IN HOLLYWOOD HAS FINALLY PAID OFF!

@FMWUK

“I’m just an extreme example, of what a working man can achieve” well deserved.

@thethirdedition1996

On a side note, I am happy to see more of Brandon Fraser in public in recent years. Good for him. Also, congrats to Cillian Murphy.

@ginat.8064

Dedicating it to the peacemakers everywhere was beautifully said. Loved that.

@abdulsami4607

The most humble actor i have ever seen.

@racheleschmidt

What a class act! Shook every hand of past winners and showed true humility! Nicely done Cillian! Great job in Oppenheimer!

@gianabakanos9131

i don’t think i’ve ever really cared enough for celebrating oscars. but watching cillian win this and watching his journey i actually feel oddly proud? the dude has been an incredible actor his whole life and i remember when i first watched him in red eye thinking he’s pretty decent. and he’s been so big because of peaky blinders and everything else, so to see him win all these accolades now is so amazing and so emotional. well done cillian you’re so talented and truly worthy of all this recognition you’ve been receiving

@Kritacul

I’m glad Chris saw how good he was and gave him that chance. Look at him now. Congratulations.
