Sir Kenneth Branagh has won the best original screenplay Oscar for Belfast.
Collecting the statue, he said: “This is an enormous honour for my family and a great tribute to an amazing city and fantastic people.” He added: “This story is the search for joy and hope in the fact of violence and loss. We lost some people along the way.”
He continued: “We miss them, we love them and we will never forget them and we we will never forget all of those lost in the heartbreaking, heart-warming human story of that amazing city of Belfast on the fabulous island of Ireland. This means a lot.”
