Cillian Murphy wins best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (drama)
Cillian Murphy won the Golden Globe for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (drama) for "Oppenheimer."
"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 a visionary director and master," Murphy, who played the titular J. Robert Oppenheimer in the biopic, said in his acceptance speech.

He added, "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."
Other nominees in the category included Bradley Cooper for "Maestro," Leonardo DiCaprio for "Killers of the Flower Moon," Colman Domingo for "Rustin," Barry Keoghan for "Saltburn" and Andrew Scott for "All of Us Strangers."
