The run up to this year’s Oscars in Ireland has been quiet; for the first time in years there are no Irish contenders in the major categories.
The movies named across several categories include Sean Baker’s Anora, Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez, Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist, Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance as well as Conclave and Wicked.
It’s been a year when awards talk around movies and performances ebbed and flowed particularly since Cannes, as some gained momentum while others lost it.
In one movie’s case, Emilia Pérez, that can largely be explained by the self-inflicted controversy around Karla Sofía Gascón, the film’s Oscar-nominated lead. For others, its more about timing and public reaction.
Irish Times chief film correspondent Donald Clarke has a solid track record picking the winners and he tells In the News who he thinks will win in the main categories and why.
And he predicts there is going to be one Irish winner on stage being handed the famous statuette.
