'Overwhelmed' Cillian Murphy admits he is 'in a daze' after becoming first Irish-born star to win the Best Actor Oscar
Cillian Murphy was 'in a daze' after his 'meaningful' Oscar win when he became the first Irish-born star to scoop the coveted Best Actor gong.
The actor, 47, landed the accolade for his lead role in Oppenheimer at the 96th Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night with his win becoming Ireland's first victory at the ceremony since Daniel Day Lewis and Brenda Fricker took prizes for My Left Foot back in 1990.
However Day Lewis was born in London, so Murphy became Ireland's first Best Actor Oscar winner - and the huge moment was not lost on him.
Speaking in the press room after picking up his statuette, Murphy told journalists: 'I'm in a little bit of a daze, I'm very overwhelmed. I'm very humbled. I'm very grateful and you know, very proud to be Irish standing here today.
'It's really really meaningful to me. I don't know if I said this in my speech, because I can't remember what I said.'

'I did want to say that I think in Ireland we are really great at supporting artists and I think we need to continue to support artists and the next generation of actors and directors. I think that's vitally important. That's all I have to say.'
When asked if he is 'content' about being remembered for his role as atomic bomb scientist J Robert Oppenheimer in the movie, the actor replied: 'Very content. I mean, you got to move forward, but this has been a huge, huge moment for me.
'The movie is so special to me, and myself and [director] Chris [Nolan] have such a special relationship.'
'And I just feel very privileged to be able to continue to work with him and I'm very proud that this is a film that is provocative, and that asks questions, and is challenging, but yet so many people went to see it, so I'm really really proud of it.'
Cillian added of his relationship with director Christopher Nolan: 'It's very very special. We have been working together for 20 years. I think he's the perfect director, he's an extraordinary writer, he's an extraordinary director of actors.
'He presents this film like no one else does in the world, and I just can't believe my luck. I did a screentest for him when I was a kid, and I thought that would be it and it would just be enough to be in a room with Chris for a couple of hours, and here we are. So, I'm just so humble and thankful.'
During his speech Cillian told the star-studded room that he was 'a very proud Irishman standing here tonight' before dedicating his win to 'peacemakers everywhere'.
'We made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb, for better or worse we're all living in Oppenheimer's world so I'd like to dedicate this to the peacemakers everywhere,' he concluded to applause.
