First things first – Cork born Cillian Murphy scooped the Best Actor award for his role in Oppenheimer. “Oh boy, holy moly, thank you very, very much Bafta,” he said as he picked up the award before graciously thanking director Christopher Nolan. He also paid tribute to all his co-stars whom he christened “Oppenhomies” (which is a lot more fun to say than Barbieheimer).

Most film critics believe that his win here indicates the Oscar statue is just within grasp.
