Barry Keoghan is having a good year – he kicked it off with a BAFTA nomination for Best Leading Actor, and his next project is star-studded series Masters of the Air, executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.
After winning the gong for Best Supporting Actor in The Banshees of Inisherin in 2023, Keoghan is up again this year for his role in Saltburn, directed by Emerald Fennell, in which he plays a working-class Oxford student drawn into the hedonistic world of a wealthy classmate. His Dunkirk co-star Cillian Murphy is also nominated in the same category for Oppenheimer, in which he plays the titular nuclear physicist.
