Cillian Murphy is for many people one of the best actors of his generation. her role in Peaky Blinders It has given him such status, backed by the few times he has been allowed to shine on the big screen. However, it’s hard to think of him as an actor trying to break out in the feature film when you see him in Oppenheimer, but that’s the reality. Cillian Murphy has never been nominated for an Oscar, or a Golden Globe, or won an acting award at any major festival. Despite being Irish, he has only been noticed at the BAFTAs with a Rising Star nomination. However, it is evident, although Christopher Nolan, also a candidate for the Oscar for Best Director, and the Academy do not get along very well, that Oppenheimer It is a classic award-winning film and, obviously, also that of its protagonist.
Even assuming this strange context in which the world has assumed that Cillian Murphy is a great actor but whose film roles stand out for their small size and relevance, we cannot imagine a future in which the name of Cillian Murphy does not ring a bell. Oscar for Best Actor. However, although there are many who already have him as a clear candidate in the networks, ignoring that for the Academy and in these matters he is a rookie, the truth is that he has it very difficult. And no, we’re not going to say here that he has it difficult because of his clear antipathy to interviews and much-needed PR in an awards race. That is, of course, a compelling argument, but we are referring here to clear competition.
If Margot Robbie doesn’t have everything with her to win the Oscar for BarbieIt is even more difficult for Cillian Murphy who, despite being the center of the entire film, has let Robert Downey Jr. in a secondary role and for many irrelevant in the plot, steal all the praise. Yes, if the eternal Iron Man competes, he will be in the secondary category, but it doesn’t help to win an award if they talk about someone other than you.

There is still a long way to go until the Oscars 2024, but we already know that Oppenheimer will not be the only award-winning biopic. Many await Colman Domingo’s performance as Rustin in the film of the same name. But beyond the story of Martin Luther King’s adviser, it is Maestro, the Leonard Berstein biopic directed and starring Bradley Cooper who raises more expectations. both, like Oppenheimerwould be favorites in a year in which nothing more and nothing less than the Napoleon by Ridley Scott with Joaquin Phoenix in front. Murphy or Cooper will be good actors, but Phoenix is in a different league.

In the event that there is a miracle, that the hype of Napoleon deflates and what Maestro y Rustin are ignored for being from Netflix, Cillian Murphy would still have a tough rival. In a world of dramatic biopics, we’ve already said that we’d give Ryan Gosling the Oscar for his Ken in Barbie. There are still those who doubt whether he will compete in the main or secondary category, but what no one doubts is that his work is extraordinary. Gosling is very probably the actor with the best filmography in recent years after Phoenix, he has already been nominated for an Oscar without success twice and, above all, he excels in the film. Already fed up with nominations for real characters, for dramatic roles of famous men, an actor with a reputation for being bland has come out in a comic and ridiculous role that has always bordered on the ridiculous in an extraordinary balance. That’s not to mention the great song I’m Just Ken. Gosling has managed to make his song a hit by beating songs by stars like Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Lizzo or Karol G. He has managed to survive a movie and a script that goes as against his character as possible and, still thus, turning it into an icon capable of outshining a stratospherically brilliant Margot Robbie.
Just the fact that so much Barbie since the role of Ken is not the typical work that the Oscars usually take into account, although they should, it separates Gosling from the Oscar. Murphy, well, he has it very difficult. If the Academy bets on the usual, Joaquin Phoenix will be the favorite. If you’re looking for new blood, Ryan Gosling should be “Kenough.” Even so, we hope that this is the year in which Murphy finally becomes that first sword of film acting that has been in our hearts for years.
