"After a varied career in which he has played a psychopath, a romcom heart-throb, an intergalactic warlord and a plucky newspaper editor among others, Domhnall Gleeson has won his first Hollywood award. The US-Ireland Alliance announced that Gleeson will receive the Oscar Wilde award at the event's 20th anniversary in Los Angeles in March in the run-up to the Oscars. It honours a body of work rather than a particular performance."
"I first saw Domhnall in 2006 when he played the role of Davey in Martin McDonagh's play The Lieutenant of Inishmore, said Trina Vargo, the founder and president of the US-Ireland Alliance. His talent was obvious 20 years ago, it's been a pleasure to watch him go from strength to strength, and we look forward to honouring him."
Domhnall Gleeson has built a varied career with roles ranging from a psychopath and romcom heart-throb to an intergalactic warlord and a newspaper editor. The US-Ireland Alliance will present him with the Oscar Wilde award at its 20th-anniversary ceremony in Los Angeles in March, honoring a body of work rather than a single performance. Gleeson has earned critical plaudits, nominations, Irish film and television awards, and a Berlin international film festival award, but this marks his first major Hollywood prize. The nonprofit alliance fosters US-Ireland ties and hosts a high-profile awards season event. Gleeson continues to appear in film, television and voiceover projects.
