Killarney's Jessie Buckley is today (Sunday) celebrating after winning an IFTA for 'Best Supporting Actress Film'.

Winners were revealed at a virtual ceremony during last night's Irish Film & Television Academy (IFTA) awards on Virgin Media One at 8.30pm, with Deirdre O’Kane at the helm.

Connecting from his home in Los Angeles, Irish actor Colin Farrell presented the award for Best Supporting Actress Film.

Farrell announced Jessie Buckley as the winner for her role in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s 'The Lost Daughter'.

She paid tribute to her fellow nominees saying “Thank you so much, this is so lovely. Thanks, IFTA. It’s not mine it’s all of ours, you are all amazing women, I’m so proud to stand beside you now and all of our life".

Buckley thanked her director Maggie Gyllenhaa before signing off with a tribute to her fellow actresses saying, “long live the brilliant women!”

The Virtual IFTA Awards 2022 was a star-studded affair, with Chris Pine, Colin Farrell, Michael Moore, Roma Downey, Fionnula Flanagan among the stellar line-up of guests at the ceremony, presenting awards to the likes of Ciarán Hinds, Jessie Buckley, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Moe Dunford, Kin and An Cailín Ciúin.

The incredible array of guest presenters also included Nicola Coughlan, Chris O’Dowd, Charlie Cox and many more who virtually presented awards to Irish talent for their extraordinary achievements.

Nominees joined the show virtually and were clearly enjoying the camaraderie of talking with their fellow nominees in the various categories and many of the nominees hosting their own IFTA-viewing parties with their fellow cast and crew, as well as friends and family.

The event was hosted by Deirdre O’Kane who took the helm with her trademark wit and elegance including a tribute to Ukrainian president, and fellow comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
