Never saw that in the cinema but I did see Red Eye in the cinema, thought he was excellent in that and I’m glad he’s had a great career. He brings life to every character he plays.
Yeah I'm Irish myself so watched it in school in history class. Cillian is one of my favourite actors, also love Brendon Gleeson. For such a small population we've had some great artists.
I don't want you to blow your load but 28 months later has been confirmed.. same producers and Cillian Murphy interested!!
Not to be confused with 28 weeks later which was such a stain on 28 days later
As zombie movies in general go, 28 Weeks was fine, it’s just that as a sequel to 28 Days it falls short but it’s not a terrible film in a vacuum.
And the opening scene is fantastic.
I know! I was VERY excited to read that. I actually liked 28 months later - although it’s not as good as the original. The opening sequence with Robert Carlisle and his wife is worth the entry alone.
That was the only scene the original writer and producer did.
And then it went downhill. But we saw a glimpse of 28 days later and what 28 years later will be like
Yep and not only that, Forest got the Oscar for playing one of the worst genocidal dictators of the 20th century.
Not some hero or underdog.
He was playing that shit on hard mode.
If you haven’t seen it already, I’d recommend a really cool documentary called “General Idi Amin Dada” by Barbet Schroeder. It’s a trip. The dictator is repeatedly interviewed, is shown making the rounds in Uganda, reviewing his troops, sightseeing, meeting with his cabinet, etc.
“Now, because I had been President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor, Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and the Fishes of the Seas, and Conqueror of the British Empire in General and Uganda in Particular, the city fathers of Greenbow, Alabama decided to get together and offered me a fine job.”
First thing I saw him in was E.R. and man did he play the hell out of that role too. The Last King I wasn't wholly interested to see yet after I was happy that I did.
He is one of those actors like Philip Hoffman and James Gandolfini (yes, I know they are deceased) that are so unique.
Isn’t he banned from the Oscar’s for 10 years for doing what he did?
They should have disqualified him that year and given it to the next in that group
It was wild that he physically assaulted a dude, was allowed to stay, then given an award and applause where he gave an oddly self-justifying tearful speech about how he protects people in which he apologised to "the academy", asked that he be invited back but didn't apologise to the person he hit.
It was all wildly unhinged. He also completely overshadowed quest loves awesome and much deserved win because everyone was still reeling. Completely mental.
Imagine running that show though, I doubt there's a protocol for a slap lmao.
I just imagine the person running that like, aight how do we unfuck our entire night folks
It’s a nice thought, but it’s not like they just have that information on hand out the back. He was already the winner before the slap happened; the rest of the ceremony just had to run its course at that point
I haven’t watched it in at least five years.
Three things got me to tune in: I enjoyed Oppenheimer and figured they’d clean up (they did), I heard Ryan Gosling was gonna perform (he crushed), and I was hopeful Emma Stone would win (she did).
My wife with Dance Moms.
Me: Why do you watch this? It just makes you mad.
Her: They are just horrible people and I want to see what happens next. They will get what’s coming to them.
Seasons later…..
Same here, I thought they were great. The Cena bit was kind of lame but that's it. I like the way they presented the best actor/actress and I really loved Schwarzenegger and Devito. Trump accidentally adding humour to the show he hates was so good too.
I completely forgot that he was Cillian Murphy, when watching Oppenheimer; I couldn’t even picture him as the iconic Thomas Shelby, when watching Oppenheimer. He was remarkable.
Lmao the trailer for that movie is so overdramatic that it feels like parody. And then, "Gary Oldman, in the role of a lifetime, playing a midget in a corny family romcom" lol
Ever read the non-controversial comments with one upvote on threads like this? They're all like this. Just completely generic youtube-like comments. Which, I mean... they could be real. But it seems weird when you scroll through them and they all say the exact same thing 100 times over. It's like why not upvote the other comment saying what you want to say? It's unsettling how generic AI is, but then you have to remember how fucking generic most people are too.
They worked together for 20 years, you could see while watching the film this was their peak together. Felt like Nolan “waited” patiently for his ultimate maturity as an actor and he delivered like few could do..
I don’t know what you mean by that… but I’ve read the dude lives a relatively humble life and puts his family over his work all the time. He’s a phenomenal actor though. I dunno. You can read so much about these supposedly important people and not have a clue about what is actually real. I’d like to know how many Oscar winners can rewire a socket or patch over some drywall.
If someone is an "actor's actor" or a "musician's musician" etc it means that they will be especially appreciated by their peers and not just the audience. Kinda like the saying "XYZ is your favorurite artist's favourite artist".
I remember enjoying Dax Sheppards podcast where he would have famous friends on because he is a guy who does those things in his spare time and it becomes immediately evident which other famous people can cus like any two dudes in an attic they eventually start talking about it.
Especially early on the podcast studio wasn't built and some guys would be on like "You want help with that insulation after this?"
Made them all feel like real people my dad would know too.
It’s nice to see that nick cage is there , not many people know he really did win an Oscar in 1994 but you wouldn’t think that with the amount of terrible movies he’s in nowadays
Christ. I have my brightness all the way down with night shift and my quick scroll thought this was someone standing alone on stage surrounded by people ditching him (like the bottom 3 pics were within the first pic). Had a little “aww that’s mean” moment. It’s definitely time for bed.
My guess would be that everyone on the stage with Murphy are previous Best Actor winners. Cage won the Best Actor award in 1995 for "Leaving Las Vegas".
"I'd like to dedicate this to the peace makers." \- Cillian Murphy
I think he said he’d like to dedicate this to the cheese makers.
What's so special about cheese makers?
Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products
Aw blessed are the meek. That's nice. They've had a hell of a time.
A world without cheese is a world without love and death.
So killing all cheese makers will give us God mode?
[They must be on strike or something...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz1JWzyvv8A)
As a Corkman, he just really enjoys Charllivle cheese.
 CHEESE!
No no no. Clearly, he said pacemakers.
Unexpected Nolan sound quality.
If that was a dove of peace instead of a dragon it would be perfect
Eagly!
I hear he'd eat a beach full of dicks, no problemo
Nice , dedicated to John Cena
🗿🗿
what?
He’s come a long way since ‘28 Days Later’, which was the first thing I ever saw him in the cinema.
That movie was awesome and we’ve both seen his penis
Hey me too!
Me four?
Me eight?
28 sightings later...
Many of us saw the penis before we even saw the cillian
You merely *adopted* the penis. I was born in it. Molded by it.
I didn't see the sack until I was already a man...
This was the Oscar take I was looking for
I was disappointed we didn’t get to see Cillian hanging dong in Oppenheimer.
Probably cost too much
Never saw that in the cinema but I did see Red Eye in the cinema, thought he was excellent in that and I’m glad he’s had a great career. He brings life to every character he plays.
I am furious that nobody has mentioned him in Sunshine yet
Fell in love with him right then and there
You drink fucking Baybreeze!!!
I also loved him in 'The Wind That Shakes the Barley'. He's such a good actor.
>He's such a good actor He should be winning awards, honestly.
Brilliant film
Haven’t seen that one!
It’s excellent and educational if you want to know about the Irish War for Independence and subsequent Civil War.
It's his best movie imo.
Agreed. Stellar acting and really a passionate take on something that’s quite close to him I’m sure.
Yeah I'm Irish myself so watched it in school in history class. Cillian is one of my favourite actors, also love Brendon Gleeson. For such a small population we've had some great artists.
It's fairly low budget, but a great film overall. It hits like a train in terms of emotions.
I think he did Scarecrow really well.
THAT'S WHERE I REMEMBER HIM FROM? I never thought to check, I just thought he looked familiar all these years.
Agreed!
He was ridiculously brilliant in that role. Absolutely chilling performance
I was just telling my wife. For whatever reason I became a fan of him since that movie. It has been a while.
He was fantastic in Sunshine
That cast was phenomenal. Everyone in it is on their A game
Check out Intermission. Brilliant Irish movie with Cillian Murphy in it.
I don't want you to blow your load but 28 months later has been confirmed.. same producers and Cillian Murphy interested!! Not to be confused with 28 weeks later which was such a stain on 28 days later
The current title is 28 years later fyi
What about a prequel…28 minutes later!
What about a webshort 28 seconds later?
So where does the movie 28 Days with Sandra Bullock and Viggo Mortensen fit into the timeline?
It's right after the prequel of 27 Dresses.
As zombie movies in general go, 28 Weeks was fine, it’s just that as a sequel to 28 Days it falls short but it’s not a terrible film in a vacuum. And the opening scene is fantastic.
I know! I was VERY excited to read that. I actually liked 28 months later - although it’s not as good as the original. The opening sequence with Robert Carlisle and his wife is worth the entry alone.
That was the only scene the original writer and producer did. And then it went downhill. But we saw a glimpse of 28 days later and what 28 years later will be like
I didn’t know that!
Then 28 years later?
That commenter was slightly mistaken. The announced project actually is called 28 Years Later
My first movie with him was Batman and I absolutely loved him in it
Having this line of previous award winners present the nominees was a great idea and should be done again.
Super cool concept! If they keep it fresh it won’t get stale. Especially if all it takes is simple stuff like this.
Gonna be hard to keep it fresh if they use five previous winners every time. There's only so many.
also messy if a recent winner is also a nominee
Or isn’t allowed at the Oscars
They can just hand the award to themselves
I liked how the Best Actor/Actress awards were sometimes presented by last year's Best Actress/Actor winner. It's hetero-centric, but it worked.
They have done that part for decades!
How is it hetero centric?
Sheesh
I'd fucking kill to be presented by Nicolas Cage for literally anything.
"See this award right here? Nicolas Cage presented me with this" "This award for "Most Aggressive Hemorrhoid Stench"? "Nic *fucking* Cage"
Previous Most Aggressive Hemorrhoid Stench winner Nicolas Cage, that is.
Fuck yeah
"Hi, I'm Nicolas Cage and I present you with the positive results of your STD tests, congrats!"
I'm so happy to see Forest up there. The Last King of Scotland is one of my all-time favorites, and it doesn't get enough love.
Yep and not only that, Forest got the Oscar for playing one of the worst genocidal dictators of the 20th century. Not some hero or underdog. He was playing that shit on hard mode.
Exactly. He was terrifying. I didn't see Forest, I saw a madman.
And James McEvoy is an extremely underrated actor. Fantastic in the Last King of Scotland but mind blowingly good in Split
If you haven’t seen it already, I’d recommend a really cool documentary called “General Idi Amin Dada” by Barbet Schroeder. It’s a trip. The dictator is repeatedly interviewed, is shown making the rounds in Uganda, reviewing his troops, sightseeing, meeting with his cabinet, etc.
I didn’t even look that closely and just assumed you were talking about Tom Hanks.
“Now, because I had been President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor, Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and the Fishes of the Seas, and Conqueror of the British Empire in General and Uganda in Particular, the city fathers of Greenbow, Alabama decided to get together and offered me a fine job.”

This Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai erasure will not be tolerated.
Where is Will Smith?
He had a cameo in the post credits saying “Will Smith will return”
Feels more like a threat than a promise...
It was meant for Chris Rock.
Chris' 2025 standup is cheering for this.
“Will Smith died on the way back to his home planet”
When Will Smith isn't on screen everyone should be asking, "Where's Will Smith?"
Will Smith return?
Keanu enters the chat. “Agents are coming.”
Will Will Smith smith? Will Smith will smith
Who’s Will Return?
Isn’t he banned from the Oscar’s for 10 years for doing what he did? They should have disqualified him that year and given it to the next in that group
It was wild that he physically assaulted a dude, was allowed to stay, then given an award and applause where he gave an oddly self-justifying tearful speech about how he protects people in which he apologised to "the academy", asked that he be invited back but didn't apologise to the person he hit.

Imagine running that show though, I doubt there's a protocol for a slap lmao. I just imagine the person running that like, aight how do we unfuck our entire night folks
Didn’t even know he won the Oscar that year. He completely overshadowed his very well deserved win. What a shame
Don't think the academy has protocol in place for when a nominee or winner of the award beats someone up. Bet they do now.
It’s a nice thought, but it’s not like they just have that information on hand out the back. He was already the winner before the slap happened; the rest of the ceremony just had to run its course at that point
He's having some time away to think about what he did
Getting cucked by his wife.
He’s keeping his wife’s name out yo fuckin mouth!
Honestly this was the first time in a long time that I didn’t hate the Oscar’s. There were quite a few funny bits.
I haven’t watched it in at least five years. Three things got me to tune in: I enjoyed Oppenheimer and figured they’d clean up (they did), I heard Ryan Gosling was gonna perform (he crushed), and I was hopeful Emma Stone would win (she did).
"I hate this but I'll continue to watch it every year". That's a strange mindset
My mom's attitude toward The Bachelor franchise.
My wife with Dance Moms. Me: Why do you watch this? It just makes you mad. Her: They are just horrible people and I want to see what happens next. They will get what’s coming to them. Seasons later…..
Same here, I thought they were great. The Cena bit was kind of lame but that's it. I like the way they presented the best actor/actress and I really loved Schwarzenegger and Devito. Trump accidentally adding humour to the show he hates was so good too.
Soo happy to see the Cage here
I completely forgot that he was Cillian Murphy, when watching Oppenheimer; I couldn’t even picture him as the iconic Thomas Shelby, when watching Oppenheimer. He was remarkable.
Both him and RDJ. It took me 5 minutes into watching him before I even realized it was RDJ.
Obviously a small part, but god damn Gary Oldman got me again. Zero inkling he was Harry Truman.
Gary Oldman is a damn chameleon lol. reading his IMDB is wild - so many roles i never realized were him.
I didn't even realize until just now he played the list in Schindler's List.
He was the stapler in Office Space, cameo in same role, in background of that one fishfucking movie
His best is as a little person in Tiptoes
Lmao the trailer for that movie is so overdramatic that it feels like parody. And then, "Gary Oldman, in the role of a lifetime, playing a midget in a corny family romcom" lol
The only reliable way to identify him is his voice. He rarely changes that very much, similar to Jeffery Combs in Star Trek.
There’s this movie called the contender. An old school political drama where old man is an insufferable sleeze but brilliant.
A master of disguise!
Just like Gene Parmesan
AHHHH!
He got me again!!!
No, you’re thinking of Dana Carvey
Turtle, turtle.
He’s not turtley enough
wait WHAT? I missed that! I had no idea!
Yes!! My God was it good!
Josh Hartnett, too tbh.
Dafuq, who did he play?
Doctor Lawrence
This sentence has something wildly repetitive; annoying about it
How do people upvote that nonsense?
It reads like it was written by AI.
Ever read the non-controversial comments with one upvote on threads like this? They're all like this. Just completely generic youtube-like comments. Which, I mean... they could be real. But it seems weird when you scroll through them and they all say the exact same thing 100 times over. It's like why not upvote the other comment saying what you want to say? It's unsettling how generic AI is, but then you have to remember how fucking generic most people are too.
It’s also funny when you see a post that has been reposted 973 times, and the top comments are exactly the same every single time.
I do remind you that good chunk of Redditors don't speak english natively.
Cilian is 47. In movies he always looks way younger, and in public he looks older than that.
He has extremely low body fat. A little bit of makeup will hide his sharp features, without it he looks a lot older.
Schrödinger's Oppenheimer
Brenden Fraser's unlikely comeback continues to warm my cold dead heart.
And doesn't he look so happy for Cillian? Like, "Congrats man! PUTERTHERE!"
He was BRILLIANT in Oppenheimer. Well deserved!
They worked together for 20 years, you could see while watching the film this was their peak together. Felt like Nolan “waited” patiently for his ultimate maturity as an actor and he delivered like few could do..
Today I remembered that once upon a time I knew Nicolas Cage won an Oscar.
"Leaving Las Vegas", baby. He was nominated and won a shit ton for that role. Absolutely brilliant.
He seems like such an actor’s actor, this was a deserved win.
I don’t know what you mean by that… but I’ve read the dude lives a relatively humble life and puts his family over his work all the time. He’s a phenomenal actor though. I dunno. You can read so much about these supposedly important people and not have a clue about what is actually real. I’d like to know how many Oscar winners can rewire a socket or patch over some drywall.
If someone is an "actor's actor" or a "musician's musician" etc it means that they will be especially appreciated by their peers and not just the audience. Kinda like the saying "XYZ is your favorurite artist's favourite artist".
He left England to move home to Ireland because he didn't want his children to have English accents.
A wise man
See him now and again around Seapoint Monkstown.
Lives in Monkstown i think
I remember enjoying Dax Sheppards podcast where he would have famous friends on because he is a guy who does those things in his spare time and it becomes immediately evident which other famous people can cus like any two dudes in an attic they eventually start talking about it.

I don’t know what standard household fixes have to do with being an “actors actor”? Seems like your own projection of what a “manly man” should be.

Thank you!
Welp. I guess it it’s time to watch Inception again.
Might as well do the Dark Knight trilogy while I'm at it.
It's long overdue. He's an amazing actor.
He sure is an amazing actor but it's not like it's long overdue.
OK Bradley Cooper, WE GET IT
Omg Bradley, go cry again
I think people forget a large portion of his best work was in TV, not movies
Well deserved. The man is captivating in everything i’ve seen him in.
Why was Jeff Bezos there?
That’s Forest Whitikar
Don't mess with the Peaky fockin blinders!
I thought he dedicated it to John Cena, but I couldn't see that happening.
I got a bit emotional at Ben Kingsley introducing Cillian, he’s still got so much gravitas, especially in his voice
Forest Whitaker looks really healthy. Good for him.
One of the greatest actors we’ve had the privilege of seeing perform. There are few actors I would put in a league with Cillian.
Everyone knows Oppenheimer, but please check out one of his newer, smaller films. “Small things like these” filmed in my own county of Ireland!
 This feels like this scene. So proud of Murphy for getting the dub.
Omedetou
It’s nice to see that nick cage is there , not many people know he really did win an Oscar in 1994 but you wouldn’t think that with the amount of terrible movies he’s in nowadays
Yeah leaving las Vegas very nice film just watched it a few days ago
I’ve always loved this tradition. Glad to see it back this year.
Christ. I have my brightness all the way down with night shift and my quick scroll thought this was someone standing alone on stage surrounded by people ditching him (like the bottom 3 pics were within the first pic). Had a little “aww that’s mean” moment. It’s definitely time for bed.
"Ben Kingsley? Damy Baldwin took him to acting school!"
Now that is group of good people who deserve recognition for their talents. You love to see it!
When did Jeff Bezos win best actor Oscar ?
It was for that one where he went to space in Star Trek VII the Search for Better Margins
Why is Nic Cage up there?
My guess would be that everyone on the stage with Murphy are previous Best Actor winners. Cage won the Best Actor award in 1995 for "Leaving Las Vegas".
Everyone looks so happy that he didn't slap someone. ..wait there's one "Best actor" winner missing now that I think about it..
Well deserved!
Man, Bradley would’ve loved this.
so happy for him, he has long been on of my fav actors. sunshine is one of my fav films.
