“Hamnet” star Jessie Buckley became an Irish national hero on Sunday night as she made #Oscar history, becoming the first best actress winner from the country.
President Catherine Connolly said: “Jessie Buckley’s award is an historic moment. This achievement is a thoroughly deserved testament not only to Jessie’s outstanding performance in ‘Hamnet,’ but to her performances both in film and on stage across her career to date. I know that her proud community in Kerry and beyond will be sharing with her in this wonderful achievement.” variety.com/2026/film/awards…
