“They think that am lonely, well I probably am

One thing that still gets me

When did I become a ghost?!”

'When Cillian Murphy took to the podium during Sunday night’s Golden Globes, his nose smudged in his wife’s lipstick, it was as if a door had opened on this Hollywood Neverland and an ambassador for the real world had stepped through.

Accepting the Best Actor in a Drama award for Oppenheimer, Murphy wasn’t so much un-starry as stonkingly everyday. Here was a normal person who had somehow beamed into peak Tinseltown and, if pleased, was also clearly a bit perplexed by it all.

The Oppenheimer win has made Murphy a frontrunner for the Oscars. In all likelihood, he will be up against a creepy Barry Keoghan in Saltburn, an overblown Bradley Cooper in Maestro, and a fervent Leonard DiCaprio in Killers of the Flower Moon. With the arguable exception of the grandstanding Cooper, all would be worthy winners. And yet, underdogs everywhere will be cheering for Murphy. He’s spent the past 20 years negotiating Hollywood on his own terms and has rejected Tinseltown’s showiness in favour of staying grounded and playing the long game.

Murphy always wanted to be an actor rather than a star. Such a choice could easily have condemned him to a lifetime of supporting roles. Or a hiatus in TV, to which he seemed exiled when he settled in for a long run as Tommy Shelby in Birmingham noir Peaky Blinders.

But his decision to turn away from flashy parts has proved inspired. He is that rarest of things: an experienced A-list actor who comes to the Oscars without baggage. Unlike DiCaprio, he hasn’t had to overcome a past life as a teen pin-up. Nor does he have to justify a lucrative stint in comic book films, as Cooper has with his time as Rocket Racoon in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Above all, Murphy goes into Oscar season as an antidote to the “look at me!” culture of the social media era. In an age when fame is regarded as the ultimate commodity – more important than awards or critical acclaim – Murphy would rather let his work speak for itself. He lives humbly in suburban Dublin with his wife and two children – and his great passion outside of acting is music, as demonstrated by his semi-regular presenting slot on BBC 6 Music.

That’s lifetimes removed from Hollywood, with its self-mythologising and turbo-charged fakeness. It is also of a piece with his career since he broke through playing a survivor of the zombie apocalypse in Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later. Ever since, he has chosen his jobs thoughtfully. In so doing, he has assembled a body of work of which he can be proud.

He hasn’t been above popcorn. He was a memorable villain in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins, where he played the Scarecrow as a trippy nightmare. But even when shooting for the box office, Murphy has been studiedly un-starry. Careful to keep his ego in check, he’s often happy in an ensemble – hugging the background in A Quiet Place II and settling for an extended cameo in Nolan’s Dunkirk, where he was content to let Harry Styles and Tom Hardy hog the spotlight.

Hog it they did – yet it was Murphy who proved to be in it for the long road. Because he could go into Oppenheimer without a Hollywood aura, he disappeared into the role. If hardly obscure, he nonetheless assimilated fully into the part. Throughout that film, you were aware of its stars. Florence Pugh and Emily Blunt doing their best with under-written female characters. Robert Downey Jr trying to pretend he hadn’t spent a decade as Iron Man.

Murphy, by contrast, split the acting atom. He vanished into Oppenheimer with a performance that exuded humility and sincerity. Bookies have now installed him as a favourite for the Best Actor Oscar. If he wins, it would be a victory for knowing who you are and what you stand for and believing good work has value beyond short-term acclaim. Above all, his success shows that it is possible to stay grounded while scaling Hollywood’s giddiest heights.'

The fact that Artemis II is going to the moon in the next year AND that they’re working on finding a way to send the first humans to Mars just makes me so *incoherent screeching*

'Out actor Andrew Scott opened up to UK newspaper The Guardian about the experience of making Andrew Haigh's 2023 film "All of Us Strangers" and offered his take on whether straight, cisgender actors ought to play queer characters.

The "Ripley" star had just finished a year's work on the Netflix limited series when he began work on Haigh's latest masterpiece. "I'd get the tube to work every day," Scott reminisced. "I just loved being back in this sort of hustle-bustle excitement of London in the summer."

"And to do that with these incredibly beautiful people and just to play love in that extraordinary way, and to wear my own clothes, and to do that with Andrew Haigh, was amazing," he added.

Scott also brimmed with warm words for his castmates Jamie Bell and Claire Foy, who played the long-dead parents of his screenwriter character, Adam, and discussed theories about whether Adam was imagining his midlife interactions with his parents – "Adam's been in a sort of purgatory because he had this terrible tragedy that happened to him when he was a young boy," Scott noted – or whether they actually were visiting him from beyond the grave. The interviewer even floated the notion that Adam might be dead, which Scott shot down.

He had even warmer words for another castmate, Paul Mescal, who plays a neighbor, Harry, with whom Adam becomes romantically involved.

"Paul and I became very close during the filming and we had a great time promoting it," Scott shared. "It doesn't feel like work when it's a film that you adore and you're promoting it with people that you love."

The "Fleabag" star seemed open about most questions, but he hesitated to declare a blanket opinion on the issue of whether queer roles ought to be reserved, by and large, for queer actors.

"I'm always reluctant to give a quick soundbite about that," the 48-year-old Irish actor replied.

"Every individual story has to be examined," Scott continued. "There are certainly much more opportunities; the playing field is becoming more even and that has to be considered in every casting decision."

"But people can be very extreme and hysterical," the "Sherlock" actor added. "What is important is that we have representation for everybody, not just in front of the screen, but behind it, so that when somebody is on a set, if you're portraying somebody that's different from you, that somebody can say, 'Well, that's not authentically the way it is.'"

Whether Adam's parents are ghosts getting reacquainted with their now-adult gay son, or figments of the screenwriter's imagination, is up to the viewer to decide; Scott refused to give his opinion on that. But he did, perhaps, give a hint of where he lands on the question in musing that "Love is the most powerful force on Earth and it exists beyond death."

"When you can place those metaphysical and spiritual ideas in a very naturalistic setting, the juxtaposition makes it really intriguing," Scott went on to add, "the idea magic exists even in a lonely high-rise apartment in central London."

Andrew Scott remains a busy actor, as does his "All of Us Strangers" onscreen lover, Paul Mescal. Among no less than half a dozen upcoming projects, Scott will be see in the film "Blue Moon" as composer Oscar Hammerstein II, and he's part of the cast for the third "Knives Out" film, "Wake Up Dead Man," which is slated for release next year.'
