Cillian Murphy nominated for Irish film award days after Oscars win
Cillian Murphy has been nominated for Lead Actor at the Irish Film and Television Academy Awards (IFTA) days after his triumph at the Oscars.
The Irish star, who took home the Best Actor Oscar on Sunday for Oppenheimer, has received yet another nomination for his performance at atomic bomb creator J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Irish stars have been prominent this awards season and that was reflected in Murphy's star-studded Lead Actor category. He is up against Andrew Scott for All of Us Strangers, Barry Keoghan for Saltburn and Pierce Brosnan for The Last Rifleman, among others.
There are more well-known stars up for Lead Actress, with Jessie Buckley (Fingernails), Eve Hewson (Flora and Son) and Saoirse Ronan (Foe) making the shortlist.
In the supporting categories, notable names include Paul Mescal for All of Us Strangers, Kenneth Branagh for Oppenheimer and Alison Oliver for Saltburn.
Oppenheimer, which won the Best Picture Oscar on Sunday, is up for the Best International Film IFTA alongside All of Us Strangers, Past Lives, Poor Things, Saltburn and The Holdovers.
The Irish film Lies We Tell came top of the nominations with 13, while the TV show KIN scored 11.
