“Oppenheimer” has been a juggernaut this awards season, garnering praise, respect, and adoration for its technical accomplishments, writing and direction from Christopher Nolan, and the extraordinary performances of its ensemble cast, led by Cillian Murphy. Nominated for the first time in both of their careers for Oscars, Cillian Murphy (Best Actor) and Emily Blunt (Best Supporting Actress) have worked long and hard to receive this level of recognition finally. Murphy was kind enough to spend a few minutes with me before the Academy luncheon to discuss his journey through this awards season, working as the lead role in a Christopher Nolan film, and more, while Emily Blunt was interviewed by Ema Sasic a few weeks earlier about her experience as well. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on Peacock and is up for your consideration at this year’s Academy Awards in thirteen categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Supporting Actor. You can listen to our other interviews with the film’s Oscar-nominated artisans here. Thank you, and enjoy!
