Cillian Murphy, Bradley Cooper and More Oscar-Nominated Actors Discuss Playing Conflicted Characters
Cillian Murphy, Bradley Cooper, America Ferrera and more Oscar-nominated actors open up about playing conflicted characters.
In Yorgos Lanthimos’ vividly Frankenstein-esque “Poor Things,” which unfolds like a quirky B-side to “Barbie,” actress nominee Emma Stone portrays Bella Baxter, who is, for a while, like a baby trapped in an adult’s body. As Monk’s brother, supporting actor nominee Sterling K. Brown’s Cliff is someone living his truth as an out gay man for the first time, closing the gap between his outward image and his authentic identity after his divorce from his wife. Evildoing takes an even more complex turn in Christopher Nolan’s towering “Oppenheimer” — in it, actor nominee Cillian Murphy ’s eponymous character is a man of science, one increasingly burdened by his split moral conscience in building an atomic bomb.
