While discussing his plans for the evening, Murphy also shared insights into his son Aran's burgeoning career in Hollywood.

Proud of his son's achievements, Murphy expressed confidence in Aran's abilities and refrained from offering advice as he believed his son was more than capable on his own.
As the countdown to the Oscars continues, Murphy also expressed pride in the recognition of Irish talent at this year's awards, including Element Pictures, the Dublin-based studio behind Poor Things.
