Oscar nomination for Killarney’s Jessie Buckley
Killarney actress Jessie Buckley has been nominated for an Oscar in the 'Best Supporting Actress' category for ‘The Lost Daughter'.
The nominees for the 94th Academy Awards were announced live from Los Angeles this afternoon (Tuesday).
It's the second award nomination for the talented actress in less than a week after being also nominated last week for a BAFTA.
"I am in complete shock!," Jessie said today.
"The Lost Daughter is so special to me. To be recognised for anything connected to it is just a wild dream come true. And to gorgeous Olivia Colman and our leader and legend Maggie Gyllenhaal, I’m so lucky to share this ride with you incredible women. Thank you."
Mayor of Killarney, Marie Moloney, also congratulated Jessie on her success.
"I extend my warm congratulations to Jessie Buckley on her Oscar nomination today for her role in 'The Lost Daughter'," she said.
"This is such an exceptional achievement for Jessie, who is truly the pride of Killarney. I have known Jessie and her family for many years and this is very well deserved for a young woman who has excelled in the acting profession. I extend every good wish to Jessie and I am sure that everyone in Killarney and Kerry will be behind her and supporting her when the Oscars winners are announced. This is tremendous news for the Buckley family and indeed for the people of Killarney. We are so proud of Jessie and fingers crossed for the announcements at the end of March."
The BAFTAs will take place on Sunday, March 13 which will be broadcast on the BBC in the UK and around the world. The Oscars will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 27.
