Cillian Murphy has been absolutely killing it this awards season.

He has picked up a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and now a SAG Award for his role in Oppenheimer.

Over the weekend he was awarded Best Actor at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and dedicated the award to his wife Yvonne and their two children Aran and Malachy.

Accepting the accolade he said: “Twenty-eight years ago when I was trying to become an actor, I was a failed musician and I felt extremely like an interloper.

“But now looking out at you guys here today, I know I am part of something truly wonderful, so thank you.”

Motioning towards his wife Yvonne, he said: “This is extremely, extremely special to me, because it comes from you guys.”

Of course, he also had to thank his Oppenheimer family or his “Oppenhomies”.

“My Oppenheimer crew, my Oppenheimer family. Just an FYI on that exquisite moniker ‘Oppenhomies.’ That was actually invented by the great Olivia Thirlby . So, Olivia, I think you should immediately trademark that and start merching the sh*t out of it because someone else will. Seriously, they were the greatest group of actors I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

“I have never felt so looked after or cared for by a group of actors every day. Looking at your names on the call sheet, just made me brave guys. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

He concluded by saying: “Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas, as always such a debt of gratitude to you. To my wife, Yvonne and my boys, Malachy and Aran, I adore you.”

G’wan Cillian!
