Jessie Buckley’s mum said yesterday it is “so lovely” to see her “little girl” being nominated for an Oscar while her former school principal revealed she was always destined for stardom.
The Co Kerry born actress led a list of Irish nominations at yesterday’s Academy Awards nomination ceremony, bagging a spot on the shortlist for best supporting actress for her role in The Lost Daughter.
She will go up against Dame Judi Dench for her role in Belfast, directed, written and produced by Kenneth Branagh – who broke an Oscar record with seven nominations.
