IFTA nomination for Killarney’s Jessie

By Michelle Crean
It's yet another feather in the hat of Killarney actress Jessie Buckley who has been nominated for an IFTA.
The Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTAs) have this morning (Tuesday) been announced with Oscar and BAFTA nominee Jessie up for an award for her role in 'The Lost Daughter' where she plays the past version of Olivia Colman’s Leda.
This year, the Irish Academy will host both virtual and physical events.
The virtual IFTA Awards show will be hosted by the talented actress and comedian Deirdre O’Kane and will be broadcast on Virgin Media One on Saturday, March 12.
A physical industry gathering takes place in April for the presentation of awards in Dublin with a date to be announced in the coming weeks.
“What a spectacular line-up of nominees that have been shortlisted for Irish Academy Awards this year, after a record-breaking production year for the Irish industry," IFTA Chief Executive, Áine Moriarty, said.
"The work being recognised this year showcases to the world what our talented industry has to offer. It’s an incredible reflection of the high calibre of Irish talent, filmmaking and storytelling that we have in this country, at world-class standards. The Irish Academy is proud to acknowledge and reward their great achievements.”
