After making his name battling zombies in 28 Days Later and ruling a ruthless gang in Peaky Blinders, Cillian Murphy has now been recognised as a Hollywood heavyweight after winning his first Oscar for playing the father of the atomic bomb in Oppenheimer.

As an actor with a serious reputation and a serious talent, it was refreshing that the first thing to come out of Murphy's mouth w hen he went on stage to accept his best actor statuette was a joyful laugh. Not someone usually given to public displays of emotion, it was clear how much winning an Oscar meant.

He may have been the frontrunner to win throughout awards season, but he was still "a little overwhelmed" to have the Oscar in his hand, he told the audience. Declaring himself "a very proud Irishman" the first Irish-born star to win best actor at the Oscars, in fact - he did then get serious.

Clearly conscious of his winning role as J Robert Oppenheimer, the US theoretical physicist whose work gave humanity the potential for nuclear annihilation, he dedicated the award to "the peacemakers everywhere".

Dance The Night

Dua Lipa

Baby, you can find me under the lights

Diamonds under my eyes

Turn the rhythm up, don't you wanna just

Come along for the ride?

Ooh, my outfit so tight

You can see my heartbeat tonight

I can take the heat, baby, best believe

That's the moment I shine

Cause every romance shakes and it bends

Don't give a damn

When the night's here, I don't do tears

Baby, no chance

I could dance, I could dance, I could dance

Watch me dance, dance the night away

My heart could be burning, but you won't see it on

my face

Watch me dance, dance the night away

I still keep the party running, not one hair out of

place

Lately, I've been moving close to the edge

Still be looking my best

I stay on the beat, you can count on me

I ain't missing no steps

Cause every romance shakes and it bends

Don't give a damn

When the night's here, I don't do tears

Baby, no chance

I could dance, I could dance, I could dance

Watch me dance, dance the night away

My heart could be burning, but you won't see it on

my face

Watch me dance (dance), dance the night away

(uh-huh)

I still keep the party running, not one hair out of place

When my heart breaks (they'll never see it, never see it)

When my world shakes (I feel alive, I feel alive)

I don't play it safe (ooh)

Don't you know about me? (uh-huh)

I could dance, I could dance, I could dance

Even when the tears are flowing like

diamonds on my face

I still keep the party going, not one hair out

of place (yes, I can)

Even when the tears are flowing like

diamonds on my face (yes, I can, yes, I can)

I still keep the party going, not one hair out of place

Watch me dance, dance the night away (uh-huh)

My heart could be burning, but you won't see it on my

face

Watch me (dance) dance, dance the night away

(uh-huh)

I still keep the party running, not one hair out of place

When my heart breaks (they'll never see it, never see

it)

When my world shakes (I feel alive, I feel alive)

I don't play it safe (ooh)

Don't you know about me? (uh-huh)

I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
