Keoghan brings the tragedy with Dominic, who just wants to marry a nice girl to get away from his abusive father. Dominic, although eccentric, is a departure from the actor’s usual characters.
From his first time appearing opposite Farrell in The Killing of A Sacred Deer to making the most of his five minutes as the Joker in last year’s The Batman, you never know what a Keoghan character is going to do next. His penchant for weird characters with dubious morals has forged an illustrious path for the actor. He is undoubtedly one of the most interesting actors working today. Condon makes Siobhán rational and practical, but also the most feeling and real of all the characters.Īnd then Barry Keoghan himself. The scene in which she rejects Dominic’s advances has been praised in particular for both her and Keoghan’s acting. When all the men’s pitiful arguments become too much, Condon’s Siobhán brings the men, the story, and the audience back down to earth. Not to mention Lenny Abrahamson earning a nod for his direction of the haunting and beautiful, Room, which was nominated for Best Picture along with Brooklyn.Ī lot of people may not have known Kerry Condon before Banshees outside of her voice work as F.R.I.D.A.Y in the MCU or Mike Ehrmantraut's daughter-in-law in Better Call Saul. An Irish Oscar win that always deserves remembering is in 2016, for the Short Film Stutterer. The animation studio Caroon Saloon has received four nominations for Best Animated Feature for their films, The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, The Breadwinner, and Wolfwalkers as well as a nomination for Best Animated Short.
Saoirse Ronan, one of the most consistent and acclaimed actors working today, has earned four acting nominations. Since then, Irish cinema has sporadically been acknowledged by the Academy. In the Name of the Father was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director for Jim Sheridan. Back in the '90s, Irish writer-director Neil Jordan won Best Adapted Screenplay for The Crying Game and Brenda Fricker became the first Irish actor ever to win an Oscar for her performance in My Left Foot. But every now and then, we see actual Irish productions receive international acclaim. I Love You to the abomination that was Wild Mountain Thyme, what people consider “Irish cinema” is actually not that Irish at all. Audiences seem to prefer Irish-adjacent stories that star British or American actors donning horrific accents.
