by

I was so thrilled to see Cillian Murphy at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards! He just looked incredible as he presented. It’s amazing how effortlessly stylish he is, whether he’s playing intense characters like Robert Oppenheimer – a role that rightfully won him an Oscar – or the iconic Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders. He always makes a statement.

He looked polished in a classic black suit, a white shirt, and a tie. The outfit was understated yet impactful, proving Murphy doesn’t need to rely on showy details to get noticed.

Cillian Murphy has a close relationship with the BAFTAs, previously winning an award in 2024 for his role in Oppenheimer. Although he wasn’t nominated for an acting award this year, his film Steve is in contention for Outstanding British Film. He’s been recognized by BAFTA before, including a Rising Star nomination in 2007 and a nomination in 2023 for Peaky Blinders.

As a big Peaky Blinders fan, I was thrilled to hear Cillian Murphy is coming back as Tommy Shelby! There’s a movie coming out on March 6th called Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, and he told The Observer he felt a real obligation to the fans – we’re the ones who made the show what it was, and he wants to give us a satisfying ending. He said the script is fantastic and sees the film as the perfect conclusion to the whole series – all 36 hours of it!

The popular TV show Peaky Blinders followed Tommy Shelby’s journey over six seasons, showing him grow from a local criminal after World War I into a successful and influential figure. A new movie is planned to wrap up the story and provide a satisfying ending for fans.

I have to say, seeing Cillian Murphy at the BAFTAs was amazing! He looked so classy and effortless on the red carpet – honestly, his style is just as captivating as the roles he plays. It really hit home why everyone in Hollywood holds him in such high regard. He just commands attention, and it’s not about being flashy, it’s about pure talent and presence.
