Cillian Murphy Breaks Down ‘Mind-Blowing’ First Oscar Nom; Christopher Nolan Says Actor’s ‘Oppenheimer’ Transformation Reminded Him of Heath Ledger’s Joker


'Oppenheimer' star Cillian Murphy and director Christopher Nolan discuss the film's 13 Oscar noms.

“You start to see the actor bringing an icon to life, putting the hat on, the cigarette in the corner of his mouth. Seeing Cillian put this iconography together, it reminded me of my hair and makeup tests with Heath Ledger for the Joker.” [Based on Claire Keegan’s historical novel of the same name, the film tells the story of Ireland’s infamous Magdalen laundries.]
