Ross White, James Martin, Tom Berkeley, and Seamus O'Hara accepted the award for Best Live Action Short Film award for An Irish Goodbye at the Oscars last night.

The writers and directors of the film, Tom Berkeley and Ross White, accepted the award alongside stars of the film James Martin and Séamus O'Hara. “Thank you to the Academy and to everyone back in Northern Ireland, we wish we could list you all,” 27-year-old director Ross White said while emotionally accepting the award.
