Anticipation is high for its potential dominance at the 2024 Oscars, with actor Cillian Murphy praising director Nolan's exceptional ability to encapsulate a crucial period in 20th-century history and J. Robert Oppenheimer's life into an engaging and compelling film. In his speech, Murphy said, “It was a staggering piece of work,” Murphy said. “It was truly mind-blowing how he managed to condense this history-making time of the 20th century and put it into a movie and then to compress this man’s life, but at the same time make it feel entertaining and compelling.”

Murphy continued of Christopher Nolan’s vision, “Chris has a side of being a true artist. But he has an engineering brain and a mathematical one. He’s always worked like that. You could see that in the temporal structure of his films and how he plays with narrative and how he’s so interested in science. That’s a rare combination to have the engineering, mathematical mind alongside a genius, creative mind. […] I’ve learned a lot from him. I apply myself in terms of that focus, and that rigor and that dedication, and that commitment. We’re both not interested in the ancillary nature of the industry. We’re both interested in the work.”
