Cillian Murphy paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife and sons as he accepted the Best Actor BAFTA for his role in Oppenheimer on Sunday as the movie swept the board with seven gongs.
The Irish actor, 47, who plays the titular role in Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb saga, picked up the prize at the ceremony at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
He paid tribute to wife of 20-years Yvonne McGuinness as well as sons Malachy, 18, and actor Aran, 16.
Cillian triumphed over Bradley Cooper for Maestro, Colman Domingo for Rustin, Paul Giamatti for The Holdovers, Barry Keoghan for Saltburn and Teo Yoo for Past Lives.
Cillian won his award after Nolan paid tribute to his leading man when he collected his Best Director award for the movie.
Robert Downey Jr also bagged the Supporting Actor gong for the film, which was also victorious in the Cinematography and Editing categories.
