Cillian Murphy, Barry Keoghan, Barry Ward and Andrew Scott nominated in best actor category
Lies We Tell stars Agnes O’Casey, fast rising star, as a young heiress cast against her sinister uncle in a remote pile during the late-19th centuryPat Collins’s already highly acclaimed take on John McGahern’s That They May Face The Rising Sun and Ian Hunt-Duffy’s Double Blind, a fast-paced horror set in a remote silo, are just behind with 11 mentions.
‘I feel that it is possible to become Irish in a way it would never be possible to become German or to become Japanese’That They May Face the Rising Sun went down a storm when it premiered at the London Film Festival last autumn. Barry Ward, nominated for best actor, plays a writer living among various eccentrics with his European wife in rural Ireland. Beautifully photographed, rich in eccentric characterisation, the film must be seen as a big favourite to take the best film prize.
