Cillian Murphy has been nominated for his first Oscar.
The Cork actor was announced this morning as one of five nominees for Actor in a Leading Role for his role in Oppenheimer.
He's joined by Bradley Cooper, Colman Domingo, Paul Giamatti and Jeffrey Wright.
Murphy is the sole Irish acting nominee, despite high hopes for Barry Keoghan, Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal.
However, Dublin-based Element Pictures, the production company behind Poor Things, is celebrating this afternoon.
