Irish actress Caitríona Balfe has been tipped for an Oscar nomination.
This year’s Academy Awards will take place on March 27, and the nominations will be announced on February 8.
Caitríona has already been nominated for a BAFTA Film Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role as ‘Ma’ in Kenneth Branagh’s film Belfast, and many are predicting she will also receive an Oscar nomination tomorrow.
Starring an acclaimed ensemble cast, including Jamie Dornan, Ciarán Hinds, and Judi Dench, Belfast is a personal and joyful story about the power of memory, set in late 1960s Northern Ireland.
At the centre of the film is Buddy, a young boy on the cusp of adolescence, whose life is filled with familial love, childhood hijinks, and a blossoming romance.
Yet, with his beloved hometown caught up in increasing turmoil, his family faces a momentous choice: hope the conflict will pass or leave everything they know behind for a new life.
Belfast is in cinemas now.
