The pinnacle of the film awards season is upon us. Will any Irish actors receive a nomination?
Just two years after An Cailín Ciúin was nominated for the best international feature film Oscar, could Ireland be on track to receive what would be only its second-ever nod in this category? Variety, The Hollywood Reporter and Vanity Fair are all predicting that Kneecap will make the cut, while the film’s director, Rich Peppiatt, is among those gathering in Belfast for the announcement of the Oscar nominations – a high-risk move, but one that reflects a certain level of expectation.
This only highlights the significance of Colm Bairéad’s An Cailín Ciúin/The Quiet Girl in claiming Ireland’s first-ever nomination for what the Academy used to call best foreign language film, back in 2023. Only one other Irish submission has even made the 15-strong shortlist: Paddy Breathnach’s Spanish language Viva in 2015.
