Kerry star Jessie Buckley has added yet another major industry prize to her growing list of honours, taking “Actress of the Year” from the Critics’ Circle for her performance in the Shakespearean drama Hamnet. The accolade was announced at the 46th London Critics’ Circle Film Awards, staged at London’s The May Fair 5 Star Hotel, and hosted by broadcaster and critic Mark Kermode. Ms Buckley was recognised for her role in Chloé Zhao’s film, with Critics’ Circle members singling out her work.
The Critics’ Circle Film Awards are voted on by film writers and reviewers, and are widely seen as a useful barometer of critical consensus at the start of the year’s awards run. Ms Buckley’s victory came on a night when Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another was named Film of the Year, while Timothée Chalamet collected Actor of the Year. The ceremony also included prizes spotlighting British and Irish films, and new talent this year.
Here in Ireland, the news has also been welcomed in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, where Buckley is a former pupil of the Ursuline Convent Thurles. The latest honour adds to the sense of momentum around the County Kerry actress, whose recent work continues to place her among the most talked-about performers of her generation.
Forde scores hat-trick as Tipperary cruise past Offaly in Tullamore.
Score: Offaly 1-18 Tipperary 5-24. Venue: Glenisk O’Connor Park, Tullamore. Competition: Allianz Hurling League Division 1A (Round 2).
All-Ireland champions Tipperary continued their strong early-season momentum with an emphatic 5-24 to 1-18 victory over Offaly in Round 2 of the Allianz Hurling League Division 1A at Glenisk O’Connor Park this Sunday afternoon.
It was a second win of the campaign for Liam Cahill’s crew, who will be pleased not just with the margin, but with the sharpness of their movement and the opportunity taken to give valuable league minutes to a number of players.
While Offaly are back operating at the top tier and will take positives from their first-half endeavour, injuries and absentees left them facing a formidable task against a Tipperary team that looked well ahead of the curve. Once Tipp moved through the gears early in the second half, the game became a damage-limitation exercise for the home side.
The finishing touch was the clearest separator. Jason Forde delivered a remarkable 3-10, (19pts) with a significant portion of that tally coming from open play, in a display of accuracy and economy that repeatedly punished Offaly, whenever Tipperary created daylight.
Tipperary had effectively seized control by half-time despite playing into the wind, leading 2-12 (18pts) to 1-10 (13pts) at the break. Offaly worked hard to crowd space and make exchanges difficult, but to seriously threaten an upset, they needed to be the side with a cushion at the interval, not seen chasing the champions.
Goals did the heavy lifting. Paddy McCormack struck first on 10 minutes to push Tipp into a 1-4 (7pt) to 0-2 (2pt) lead. Offaly responded through a well-taken opportunist goal from Brian Duignan to bring the contest back to life, but Tipperary steadied immediately and rebuilt their advantage.
A pivotal moment arrived on 28 minutes when Offaly full-back Ben Miller received a black card for hauling down an attacker through the middle, conceding a penalty that Forde thumped to the net to establish a gap Offaly would struggle to bridge.
Any lingering doubt was removed after the restart. A goal from substitute John McGrath in the 39th minute opened the floodgates, and with Tipperary’s tempo rising, Offaly found themselves unable to stem the wave as Forde added another goal driving the score on relentlessly.
Offaly showed spirit in the closing stages and searched for consolation goals, but Tipperary’s defence held firm. Forde completed his hat-trick late on, after an initial effort struck the post, to cap an afternoon that underlined both Tipperary’s early league sharpness and the size of the challenge facing a rebuilding Offaly side, back at the top table.
Scorers: Tipperary: Jason Forde 3-10 (1-0, penalty, 5-f and 2 x’65’s); John McGrath 1-1; Conor Stakelum and Jack Leamy 0-3 each; Paddy McCormack 1-0; Darragh Stakelum and Josh Keller 0-2 each and Conor Martin, Gearoid O’Connor, Noel McGrath 0-1 each.
Offaly: Brian Duignan 1-2; Eoghan Cahill 0-4 (2-f ); Dan Bourke 0-3; Oisin Kelly and Liam Hoare (2-f ) 0-2 each and Ben Conneely, Luke Watkins, Dan Ravenhill, Cathal King, Adam Screeney (-f ) 0-1 each.
