Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal among Irish nominated for Bafta as Hamnet makes history - and full list of nominees
"Killarney woman Buckley has proved unbeatable through the awards season so far for her performance as Shakespeare's wife Agnes Hathaway - historically known as Anne - in the big-screen adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's award-winning novel about the family life of William Shakespeare and the death of their young son. The Irish actress has also been nominated for an Oscar and secured a string of trophies including the Golden Globe and Critics' Choice awards."
"The film is nominated for 11 Baftas - including best film, outstanding British film and best director for Zhao. Paul Mescal, who plays Shakespeare, is nominated for best supporting actor, just days after he was snubbed by the Oscars, while co-star Emily Watson is nominated for best supporting actress. Northern Ireland writer Maggie O'Farrell gets a nod in the Adapted Screenplay category. And Bugonia, produced by Irish film and television production company Element Pictures, also received nods on the Bafta list."
"One Battle After Another, Paul Thomas Anderson's film about a washed-up revolutionary searching for his missing teenage daughter, leads the nominations with 14 nods, including best film, best director and best actor for Leonardo DiCaprio. Chase Infiniti is nominated for best actress in the same film, despite her snub by the Academy, while Teyana Taylor is nominated for best supporting actress and both Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro are nominated for best supporting actor."
Chloe Zhao's film received 11 BAFTA nominations, the most ever for a film directed by a woman, including best film, outstanding British film and best director. Killarney actress Buckley earned acclaim for portraying Shakespeare's wife Agnes Hathaway (historically Anne) and received an Oscar nomination plus Golden Globe and Critics' Choice trophies. Paul Mescal received a BAFTA nod for best supporting actor despite an Oscar snub, while Emily Watson earned a best supporting actress nomination. Northern Ireland writer Maggie O'Farrell was nominated for Adapted Screenplay. Element Pictures' Bugonia also received BAFTA nominations.
