SEVERAL IRISH FILMS have made the BAFTA nominations longlist this year, including The Banshees of Inisherin for best film, and An Cailín Ciúin (The Quiet Girl) for best film not in the English language.
An Cailín Ciúin is an Irish language film written and directed by Colm Bairéad, based on the novel Foster by Claire Keegan. It is focused on the story of young girl Cáit and her transformative visit to foster parents. It has grossed over €1 million at the Irish-UK box offices.
The Wonder is also nominated for outstanding British film. The movie is an adaption of Emma Donaghue’s 2016 novel, and it was a part Irish Element production, which is set in rural Wicklow.
Martin Mcdonagh’s Banshees of Inisherin is set to compete with nine other films to scoop the top award of best film, including Everything Everywhere All At Once, Elvis, Aftersun and All Quiet on the Western Front.
The dark comedy focuses on the struggling friendship of two men on a fictional island off the coast of Ireland.
A host of Irish actors are up for awards as well, including Colin Farrell for best leading actor for his turn in Banshees of Inisherin. The film is nominated in several other categories including costume design, production design, editing, cinematography, and casting.
Paul Mescal is nominated in the same category for his performance in Aftersun.
Meanwhile Kerry Condon is nominated for best supporting actress for her role in Banshees of Inisherin, and both Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan are nominated for their performances in the film, in the category of best supporting actor.
An Irish Goodbye is also nominated for Best British Short Film. It is set on a farm in rural Northern Ireland and tells the story of two estranged brothers who are forced to reunite.

Those Anonymous lads are useless.
Claim to be edgy social justice warriors and all they do is target silly celebs and hack kid’s PlayStations at Christmas.
Seem like a load dicks.
Anonymous isn’t real. People watch to much movies and the media give it far to much coverage. Do people honestly think that hacking experts would be concerned with this stuff.. People are so nieve
Not so.
They also exposed paedo websites on the dark net.
They also Ddos’d the Israelis during their most bloodthirsty campaign against people armed with stones.
Is there any other human behaviour these cyber terrorist seek to regulate?
He should be done for murdering hair cuts also
Chasing down a defenseless animal with horse and hound with intent to kill it, is something that should be regulated. And by regulated I mean banned. Fox hunting is horrible. I can understand a farmer killing a fox to protect his livestock, but people actively going out to slaughter foxes to get their thrills is abhorrent.
His statement says no hunt took place, so hopefully that’s true.
Mattie McGrath and Michael Healy Rae support it
Ah feck off. The guy was on a trail hunt. Stop using this article for extremist ideology that seeks to ban pet ownership, farming and just about every thing else. Fox hunting IS about protecting livestock.
One guy through his success moves to the countryside, buys land, goes out with the local horsey set and is suddenly public enemy number 1?
When there’s people being robbed, kidnapped, tortured, raped, murdered, drying of disease every minute of the day in the world… these people need to get there screwed up priorities straight!
Looks like Larry Mullen with eyeliner
‘Anonymous’ is no longer what it originally was. It was a collective of basement dwellers from the likes of 4chan doing things simply for the fun of it, for a reaction, because they could. Then some time around 2011 it became hijacked by these social justice warriors that do interviews with news channels wearing Guy Fawkes masks. Anonymous never had an agenda or political allegiance, it was just bitter spotty 20-something’s with a range of IT skills exploiting common security faults to have a bit of fun. These “hacktivists” are even less tech-savvy, rely mostly on DDoS attacks to rattle a few cages for whatever ultra liberal cause they’re supporting this week. It’s an insult to what it once was.
The world is being dominated by two extreme forces.
On one end of the spectrum religious fundamentalism through ISIS.
On the other end the ever tightening noose of political correctness through Anonymous.
With ISIS the chances of escape are greater given that they located in particular geographical locations.
With Anonymous there’s no escape.
Farming Animals should be killed in painless and as humane as possible way. Hunting does often injure them badly before they eventually slowly die. Also I don’t believe in hunting for fun. If you really eat what you hunt then I’d say fair enough. But losers paying 50K euro for African trip to kill lion just shock me. If he’s rich and influential singer he should be acting for animal welfare not opposite! Didn’t like much their music anyway.
Thomas – Ru a member of that bunch of extremists based in westmeath by any chance? Extreme vegan?
Yep I’m sure he’s shittting his pants !!!!! He will get his voodoo people after them… And Charlie will smack his b**tch up,
Great work anonymous, unliking his social media now and will never involve with his music again.
Why?
But yet you will shop in a shopping center that contributes to the deaths of millions of sheep, cows, lambs, goats, deers and loads of other animals? You’d swear all of anonymous were vegetarians!!
I’d say he’s devastated to hear it.
Because I despise any hunters.
Well Thomas, you or I wouldn’t be around if our ancestors didn’t hunt, I would love to live.off grid n hunt n grow my own food, at least that way idI’d know for sure what I was eating, ya know like we were eating horse meat labled as cow for years, what other crap are they giving us, n I don’t agree with the way they are bread and killed on an industrial scale, that is a lot worse than fox hunting, no?
Both are wrong and as you know two wrongs don’t make a right.
Fox hunting should be banned and so badly executed farming should be banned. My point is however people like him with money and power should spend their time fighting bad and doing good if you know what I mean not the opposite… Look at Ricky Gervais etc. Very Disappointed with this Prodigy man.
Exactly. It is the intensively farmed cows and pigs I feel really sorry for.
I would love to have the opportunity to be able to catch and kill my own dinner.
On a side note. Did you know it it illegal to hunt with a bow and arrow in Ireland?
Cos the guy went on a trail hunt? Seriously – you are either an Id10t or a troll …
Here we go ban hunting – ban hunting. Ban pet ownership! This extremist ideology should be showed up for the absolute drivel it represents.
This will be an interesting year for Flint . The commoner has become the gentry .I am against fox hunting for two reasons . Cruelty and what it symbilises the gentry . Flint change your ways .
New album due out this year.
Can’t wait, I’m a massive fan
Fox hunter, twisted fox hunter…..
Really displaying your ignorance there Robert, because only the gentry hunt of course !!!
Smack my Flint up !
I’d be more worried about his Pyro mania
” You’re no good to me, I don’t need nobody. Don’t need nobody, that’s no good to me!”
Bingo ambassador Foxy Bingo, said today, in response to the claims about Flint’s interest in this ” sport”.
bit of trivia for ya he runs a racing team that won tt races last year.
Did he set the foxes on fire by any chance?
Well that’s ” no good ” is it !
Haha, Keith shat it
