Another day, another slay!
The last few years Irish actors have been sweeping award nominations across the globe.
And 2024 is no different.
The BAFTA nominations rolled out on Thursday afternoon with a lot of delight for the Irish contingency.
It’s no surprise that Cillian Murphy was nominated in the Best Actor category for his role in Oppenheimer.
The Cork man is expected to pick up an Oscar for his turn in the film later this year. And we would be delighted!
This may come as a surprise but this is also Cillian’s first film BAFTA nomination. He earned his first TV award just last year for Peaky Blinders.
Barry Keoghan has also been nominated in the same category for Saltburn. Barry won his first BAFTA last year for The Banshees of Inisherin.
However, noticeably absent from the Best Actor rundown is Andrew Scott for his heartbreaking role in All of Us Strangers.
We have to say he was robbed!
However, All of Us Strangers has received several nominations in other categories, including Best Supporting Actor. Paul Mescal has been nominated for his role in the film.
Fingers crossed for the Maynooth man!
Poor Things, which is an Irish-produced film, has also received nominations for Emma Stone in Best Leading Actress, Best Film and Outstanding British Film.
The BAFTAs air on February 18th
