Oppenheimer, one of 2023′s most-successful blockbusters, followed Murphy’s character as he navigated the moral questions posed by leading the Manhattan Project, which produced weapons of mass destruction. 

The historical drama earned more than $950m in the box office.

Murphy is nominated for the SAG Award alongside Bradley Cooper (Maestro), Colman Domingo (Rustin), Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) and Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction).
