When Cillian Murphy won his first Oscar for his role in Oppenheimer, the first person he turned to was his wife, Yvonne McGuinness. McGuinness supported her husband at the ceremony, and she has been by his side for years. The couple fell in love after meeting just before Murphy rose to prominence.

Cillian Murphy met his wife in 1996

In 1996, Murphy, then a law student, decided to try his hand at acting. He landed his first role in the play Disco Pigs, which was so successful that the cast toured with it for 18 months. Around this time, he met McGuinness, a visual artist. She joined him on the tour.

Cillian Murphy is a celebrated Irish actor who is best known for his engrossing role as Tommy Shelby in the British drama series Peaky Blinders and for starring roles A Quiet Place Part 2 and Oppenheimer, incredible performances which earned him international recognition.

Cillian Murphy Biography: Age, Early Life, Family, Education

Cillian Murphy was born on May 25, 1976 (Cillian Murphy age: 47) in Douglas, Cork, Ireland. His father was employed by the Department of Education, while his mother taught French. Murphy’s grandfather, aunts, and uncles were also, ironically, teachers.

Murphy grew up in Ballintemple, Cork, along with his two younger sisters, Orla and Sile, as well as his younger brother Páidi.

At ten years old, Murphy began writing and performing songs he created. He was raised Catholic and studied at the Catholic secondary school Presentation Brothers College, where he excelled academically, but frequently found himself getting into trouble due to mischievous behavior.

When we last left Peter Parker, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, he’d just watched footage of his battle in London with Quentin Beck, a.k.a. the charlatan savior Mysterio, being broadcast throughout the greater Manhattan area. Then J. Jonah Jameson, a man who never met a webslinger he didn’t want to string up, outs Parker as the man behind the mask. When your face is plastered over a million giant midtown screens and local news anchor Pat Kiernan is announcing that some whiz kid from Queens is the vigilante who “killed” a “hero,...

Andrew Cuomo has announced he is resigning as governor of New York following a series of sexual misconduct allegations.

“I think that given the circumstances the best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to government, and therefore that is what I’ll do, because I work for you, and doing the right thing, is doing the right thing for you,” Cuomo said during a live video address, adding that his resignation will take effect 14 days from Tuesday.

Cuomo, 63, had been planning...

A Brooklyn couple got married on the local news Thursday morning. Via videoconference.

Life in the time of the coronavirus pandemic is all about finding innovative ways to keep on living as normally as possible during quarantine, which is just what bride Julie Raskin and groom Matthew Haicken did with help from local station NY1, even as their August wedding plans were destroyed.

“Mornings on 1” anchor Pat Kiernan officiated the wedding over Zoom, which was held just under two weeks after Governor Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order allowing videoconference weddings in the state. Kiernan is a certified officiant and tweeted April 18, “If your routine as a couple includes spending mornings with NY1 and you’re looking to make it official, let’s try to make it happen.” Kiernan donned a tux for the special event.

As well as telling a single overarching narrative that gives their characters freedom to drift in and out of each other’s franchises to suit the story, the movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are also always packed full of hidden references and Easter Eggs for eagle-eyed fans to try and uncover. Some of them can be quite obvious and others are incredibly obscure, with James Gunn claiming that there’s still one hidden Easter Egg in Guardians of the Galaxy that nobody has managed to discover even after five years.

On that note, it turns out that Spider-Man: Far From Home features one of the less well-known pieces of the McU’s connective tissue, one that also links the movies to the cancelled Netflix shows. The sequel sees television host and local news anchor Pat Kiernan making his sixth cameo appearance in the long-running franchise, meaning that the NY...

Five anchorwomen at NY1, New York City’s premier 24-hour news channel, have filed an age- and gender-discrimination lawsuit against channel operator Charter Communications, claiming they all have been “repeatedly marginalized and relegated to second-class status” as younger women and men have moved forward.

“Women on TV should accurately reflect women in society and be celebrated at every age, not treated like decoration that can be disposed and replaced with a newer version,” anchors Roma Torre, Kristen Shaughnessy, Jeanine Ramirez, Vivian Lee and Amanda Farinacci said in a statement. “We have poured our hearts and souls into our work at NY1, but in the end we have been left excluded, marginalized and vulnerable. We are fighting for ourselves and all other women who face this same struggle on a daily basis, and we hope to send a clear message to all news media across the country that this must change.

He first made his appearance as a jury member at Bruce Banner’s trial in the 1989 TV movie, “The Trial of the Incredible Hulk,” and cameos by Marvel godhead Stan Lee are now the “Where’s Waldo?” of the movies his stories created. He resurfaced in 2000’s “X-Men,” became a recurring gag in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” movies, and then formalized in “Iron Man” at the dawn of the McU. Now, moviegoers can count on seeing some version of the icon (and his sunglasses) in each new Marvel film, even those that aren’t part of the McU. Some appearances are amusing; some are cringe-worthy, and several have even been, um, super horned up.

Below, check out our list of the good, the bad, and the ugly of Stan Lee cameos, as we’ve ranked all 36 of his movie appearances from worst to best.

A 28-year-old first-time progressive candidate, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, defeated Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-n.Y.) on Tuesday, scoring one of the year’s biggest political upsets.

Crowley, who was a member of the Democratic leadership and was considered a possible successor to Nancy Pelosi, has been in the House since 1999, and has represented the 14th district since 2013. He was the chair of the House Democratic Caucus since 2017.

Ocasio-Cortez‘s victory was quickly compared to 2014 primary upset in which Dave Brat ousted Eric Cantor, then the No. 2 Republican in the House, from his Virginia district seat.

NY1 captured Ocasio-Cortez’s reaction as she realized she was winning the race.

Donald Trump is no stranger to controversial tweets but when he took aim at Meryl Streep following her passionate Golden Globes speech, Twitter users fired back to defend the beloved actress.

After the president-elect told the The New York Times over the telephone that he had not watched the awards show but was “not surprised” that he was attacked by “liberal movie people,” Trump took to Twitter to share his distaste for the 67-year-old movie star.

“Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn’t know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes,” Trump, 70, wrote...

According to The Wrap, director Paul Feig has also hired Michael K Williams and Matt Walsh as well as Andy Garcia to play New York's mayor.

Another new cast member is New York 1 anchor Pat Kiernan, who will be playing a journalist in Ghostbusters.

Ghostbusters filmmaker Feig has been using social media to promote next summer's movie, including sharing photos of spectral slime and the team's brand-new jumpsuits.

Ghostbusters...

The "Ghostbusters" cast is expanding, with several new additions to the already-impressive ensemble recently confirmed.

TheWrap reports that actors Andy Garcia, Michael K. Williams, and Matt Walsh have all joined the flick. Garcia will play the mayor of New York City, while "The Wire" alum Williams is playing a character named Hawkins.

Walsh ("Veep") will play a character named Rourke. And according to TheWrap, local New York City news anchor Pat Kiernan will put those skills to use to play a TV news reporter in the flick.

That foursome joins previously-announced "Ghostbusters" leads Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon, who play the titular heroines in the reboot of the 1984 comedy classic. Chris Hemsworth is starring as the foursome's receptionist for their fledgling ghost-fighting business.

Filming is already underway in Boston (which is standing in for NYC in the flick), and director Paul Feig has already revealed a...

Although the Daily Bugle is Peter Parker’s main journalistic crush, in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 it appears that most New Yorkers are glued to NY1. And actual beloved anchorman Pat Kiernan appears quite a few times to announce some moment of great destruction or another. It isn’t the first time Kiernan has appeared in a movie to warn New Yorkers of danger: He’s also in Iron Man 2 and The Avengers. The NY1 faithful should rest assured that when the time comes to announce the end of the world, Kiernan will be prepared.

Zero Motivation also won the Nora Ephron Prize, chosen by a separate jury. The winners were announced Thursday at a ceremony at the Conrad New York that Pat Kiernan presided over.

Pink newsprint is going the way of the dinosaur. The New York Observer, a weekly newspaper covering media and real estate in the Big Apple, hit newsstands today with a radically different look. For the past 27 years, the publication had a salmon-tinted pigment in its broadsheet pages, but no more.

Morning news is about to become more dramatic than you ever imagined - and you'll get to watch it all unfold in a new made-for-tv movie. Lifetime is adapting former New York Times media reporter Brian Stelter’s book, Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV, into a television movie. The book chronicles the fierce rivalry between two flagship morning news programs: ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today. The story focuses on the intrigue surrounding the 2012 ouster of former Today anchor Ann Curry, who left the show when the NBC stalwart began to lose the ratings race to Gma.

CNBC is rethinking Crowd Rules. The reality competition, hosted by jewelry designer Kendra Scott and NY1 anchor Pat Kiernan, has been pulled from the primetime schedule after just two episodes. TV Review: Crowd Rules It's not much of a surprise considering the ratings. Crowd Rules opened to a sobering 47,000 total viewers and just 12,000 in the adults 25-54 demographic on May 14. In its second outing, it retained its demo numbers but fell to 42,000 total viewers. The business-centric cable news network's typical ratings are hardly robust, but a rep went so far as

Diane Haithman is a Deadline contributor. The new CNBC competition show Crowd Rules was inspired by crowd funding and a desire to bring that Internet phenomenon to reality television, said the show’s executive producer Michael Davies and CNBC’s VP Alternative Programming Jim Ackerman at today’s NBC Press Day panel. Crowd Rules, which premieres May 14 at 9 Pm with eight episodes, pits three small businesses against each other for a $50,000 prize. A studio audience of 100 will vote the winner. Appearing onstage with show panelists Pat Kiernan and Kendra Scott, producer Davies said he was inspired by recent statistics that show the importance of small and family-owned businesses in the American economy. Ackerman told Deadline after the panel that crowd funding was a more important inspiration than ABC’s business competition show Shark Tank. He said the SEC does not yet allow crowd sourcing on TV but noted that there...

Kelly Ripa stopped by "Late Night" (Weeknights, 12:37 a.m. Et on NBC) Tuesday and chatted to Jimmy Fallon about the ongoing search for a new "Live!" co-host.

Ripa's been fronting the show with a series of guest hosts since Regis Philbin retired in November 2011.

Names linked with the job so far have included Michael Strahan, Neil Patrick Harris, "NY 1 News" morning anchor Pat Kiernan, and Ripa's husband, Mark Consuelos.

What about her current guest host, "SNL" star Seth Myers?

There had been frenzied speculation that he'd landed the gig, but he recently shot down the rumors. "No, no, no, no, no," Meyers told The Orlando Sun-Sentinel. "I'm really in love with the job I have. I'm very excited to be going back [to "SNL"] for the election season, which is always fun."

Ripa joked that Myers may indeed not be the best man to fill Reege's seat fulltime. Apparently, Myers is not a morning person.

Even for a show that revels in pop-culture references, 30 Rock had a lot of them last night. Jack and Avery agree through gritted teeth to watch Downton Abbey. Liz Lemon argues she’s clearly not someone who bails, since she’s still watching Smash. Criss explains that his hot-dog van is named Van Der Beek, since he’s seen everything that guy was in except Dawson’s Creek. The guest stars alone felt like evidence of 30 Rock’s cultural range.

Kelly Ripa has auditioned "Live! With Kelly" co-hosts since Regis Philbin left the show in November 2011, but one name can be ruled out: Mark Consuelos, Ripa's husband.

When Kathie Lee Gifford left "Live!" in 2000, Philbin hosted the program solo with a rotating cast of guest co-hosts for a year before Ripa officially joined. The show is following a similar format this year.

"I've been through it from the other side," Ripa told the Associated Press. "I sort of understand how it works, and what it is they're looking for, and how this process can't be rushed."

I remember when I was in college, I visited New York City and one of the things on my to-do list was to watch an episode of The Robin Byrd Show, the famous local-access show that was parodied on SNL. I wanted to know everything about being a “Real” New Yorker, and apparently, watching this show was an important piece of that puzzle. But to all of you aspiring New Yorkers, let me advise you, don’t be like me. Late night cable access is not where it’s at anymore. What makes you a true New Yorker is an obsessive knowledge of our local commercials.

While not technically a horror movie, 4:44 Last Day On Earth (2012) still manages to pack a terrifying, if quiet, punch. Written and directed by maverick filmmaker Abel Ferrara (Bad Leiutenant {1992}, The Funeral {1996}, Ms. 45 {1981}) 4:44 takes an intimate look at a Bohemian couple living out their final day on Earth.

Cisco (Willem Dafoe) is a successful actor living with his artist girlfriend Skye (Shanyn Leigh) on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. As the title suggests, life on Earth will cease to exist on this particular day at 4:44 Am due to humanity’s failure to do anything about climate change. Cisco and Skye say their goodbyes to loved ones via Skype, while in between they meditate, make love, and order Chinese food for dinner. Skye is also furiously trying to finish her painting while Cisco goes to visit friends in just one of a...

This morning, I woke up thinking two things: a) "Gee, it would be great if I had some Morningstar Farms veggie sausage links," and b), "Gee, it would be great if I made it through the day without seeing another fucking 'Shit ______ Say' video." Unfortunately, neither of those things happened. Fortunately, however, "Shit Pat Kiernan Says" did. For those of you who don't live in the Tri-state area, Pat Kiernan has been the NY1 morning news anchor since 1997, achieving local cult-hero status with the daily segment "Pat's Papers." He's primarily known for his deadpan delivery, and for being super-hot in a smarmy, young Republican kind of way. He is also Canadian (which somehow makes total sense), and he makes weekly appearances on a Swedish television show called "Sondagsparty with Filip and Fredrik" (which makes even more [...]...

While we saw NY1 on 'Gossip Girl' last night, where was our favorite morning anchor Pat Kiernan? On the Oct. 24 episode of Gossip Girl, Dan scored his first TV interview -- and considering his book is based on the lives of his Upper East Side friends, it was only right that it was on NY1! I expected beloved anchor Pat Kiernan to make a brief cameo, but when he wasn't spotted on set with Pat's Papers in tow I was definitely disappointed. How could you have NY1 without Pat? Well it turns out, the show never approached the anchor! We took to twitter to find out about Pat's suspicious absence, where the digital media-savvy anchor tweeted, "@katrinacm #Gg didn't ask me to make an appearance. I'm usually game for a TV or movie cameo." While Pat's presence was definitely missed last night, at least now we know that...

Pat Kiernan has been a staple of New York City television since joining NY1 - the city’s highly informative cable news station - in 1997. The Canadian born news anchor’s most notable work on NYC’s broadcast waves is a segment called In the Papers, eight minutes every morning in which Pat recaps a selection of stories from New York’s newspapers. The success of In the Papers on local TV has led Pat to the World Wide Web, where he launched Pat’s Papers, a national online version of the daily TV segment. If the idea of a guy regurgitating newspaper stories in front of a camera and posting it online sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is. But what makes the show watchable - even enjoyable - is that Pat, the former host of VH1’s World Series of Pop Culture, gets that it’s a little...

If the eight-week summer run, which will include encore airings Sundays at 9 p.m., is successful, Studio 7 will continue in the Thursday berth this fall as scheduled.
