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

[Animaxx]

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

[ashr]

And that is how you receive an award. Acknowledged everyone on stage and shook their hands. He is class❤

[iosqheg]

Random comment, but did anyone else really enjoy how gently and graciously Brendan Fraser announced this? Another lovely man.

[KaixuanLiA]

Cillian Murphy shakes everyone hands and look everyone in the eye, like a man who is grateful and pure innocent.

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

[ciri_riannon]

Cillian is such a humble king. The way he accepted the award on stage was so classy. You can see he's a great human being.

I love the way Brendan Frasier announced the winner. Very genuine and professional.

[harlendevraak]

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.

[josephgouri]

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

[ThePsyberGiantess]

That sweet little laugh of disbelief he gave. My favourite celebrity introvert. He has always just been here for the art. So happy for him. Been following him for 20 years. He so deserves to pause and giggle in disbelief and enjoy this. Yay, Cillian. YAY.

[thepoliticalgita]

That little giggle of his before starting the speech. That took me... Was wholesome! ❤

[gabifgt]

ABSOLUTELY DESERVING OF EVERY SINGLE AWARD HE WON

[HatlessMuffin]

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

[FelixFontana]

I liked the way he greeted all the former winners before giving his speech, a lot of other winners on the night didn't do this. I think this says a lot about a person 🙏

[efidkmp]

Tbh I wasn't a big fan of the movie, but I just love Cillian, as an actor and as a human being. Such a sweet, humble and wildly talented man.

[maureenchua]

He's not just talented, he's humble and carries himself really well. A proud fan here.

[thatonegirl]

Brendon Fraser giving an Oscar to Cillian Murphy is something I never thought I needed to see but, boy, am I glad that I did.

[marjayasmr]

His humility and diplomacy are top notch. Truly deserved for a great gentleman.

[Criptex]

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