In the film Oppenheimer, Murphy plays J. Robert Oppenheimer, a theoretical physicist and father of atomic bombs, Christopher Nolan's. This first victory made him proud of this achievement.

"This is the wildest, most encouraging, and most creatively satisfying journey you (the staff) have ever done in the last 20 years. I owe more than I can say," he said in a winning speech on Oscar's YouTube, Monday, March 11.

"Thank you very much (to) every crew member, every cast member in Oppenheimer, you support me. All my nominees, I am still amazed at you. Really," he added.

The actor also thanked his son who was also present on that historic night. He also said he was proud to be the Irishman who won the Oscars this year.

"My two sons who sit up there, I love you very much, and I am a very proud Irishman to stand here tonight," he said.

Murphy also dedicated his victory on stage to those who fight for peace.

"We make films about people who create atomic bombs, and good or bad, we all live in the world of Oppenheimer, so I want to dedicate this film to peacemakers everywhere," he concluded.
