=== 2010s === [[File:Bill Murray at 2013 Military Day at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (cropped).jpg|thumb|Murray in 2013]] Murray starred in [[Roger Michell]]'s historical comedy ''[[Hyde Park on Hudson]]'' (2012), where he played [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] opposite [[Laura Linney]], (Roosevelt's cousin [[Margaret Suckley]]) and [[Olivia Williams]] ([[Eleanor Roosevelt]]). The film focuses on the 1939 visit at the Roosevelts' [[Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site|Hyde Park]] home by [[King George VI]] and [[Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother|Queen Elizabeth]] ([[Samuel West]] and [[Olivia Colman]], respectively.) Murray received praise from critics; Roger Ebert wrote, "Bill Murray wouldn't be my first thought for an actor to play President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but he may have been the right choice for ''Hyde Park on Hudson.'' The role requires him to show Roosevelt as a sometimes lonely and sad man whose vacation getaway is his mother's family mansion, Springwood, near Hyde Park in upstate New York ... Murray, who has a wider range than we sometimes realize, finds the human core of this FDR and presents it tenderly."<ref>{{cite news| author=Roger Ebert| work=Chicago Sun-Times| date=December 12, 2012| title=The only thing we have to fear is Eleanor herself| url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/hyde-park-on-hudson-2012| access-date=June 29, 2024| archive-date=June 29, 2024| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240629152504/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/hyde-park-on-hudson-2012| url-status=live}}</ref> Murray received a [[Golden Globe Award for Best Actor β Motion Picture Musical or Comedy]] nomination for his performance.
