Murphy spoke with dignity as he received the “Actor” statuette.
Oppenheimer had a good night, also taking the prize for best cast in a motion picture and, for Robert Downey jnr, best supporting actor. Downey jnr, who plays antagonist Lewis Strauss in Nolan’s film, has been perfecting his speech game throughout the season. “Unlike my fellow nominees, I will never grow tired of the sound of my own voice,” he said at the podium.‘What’s a TD?’ asked the question.
Other winners in the television section included Ayo Edebiri, self-declared honorary Irishwoman, who took best female actor in a comedy for The Bear. That show also landed the award for cast in a comedy series. “One last hurrah,” Alan Ruck, who plays the hopeless Connor Roy in Succession, said as the profane saga took the award for cast in a drama series.
This year’s awards were special, coming after a strike, organised by Sag-Aftra, that closed down the industry during late summer and autumn of 2023. Fran Drescher, charismatic president of the body, gave a stirring oration to her troops. “You survived the longest strike in our union’s history with courage and conviction,” she said. “The journey was arduous. It came with great sacrifice and unrelenting stress.
