Former Ursuline Convent Thurles pupil Ms Jessie Buckley “honoured” by Best Actress Oscar nomination for film ‘Hamnet’.
Former Ursuline Convent Thurles, pupil Ms Jessie Buckley has said she is “honoured” after receiving an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her role in Hamnet.
The 36-year-old Killarney native is nominated for her portrayal of Agnes Hathaway; historically known as Anne Hathaway, in the film adaptation of Ms Maggie O’Farrell’s award-winning novel, which centres on the Shakespeare family and the death of their young son.
Ms Buckley also paid tribute to her co-star Mr Paul Mescal, who plays William Shakespeare in the film, after he missed out on a supporting actor nomination, when nominations were announced on today. Ms Buckley said she considers Mescal “a partner for life” and credited his artistry as central to what they created on screen.
Speaking to US media following the announcement, Ms Buckley said she was “proud and honoured” to be nominated alongside “extraordinary women”, adding that she was delighted that ‘Hamnet’ was recognised.
Ms Buckley is widely viewed as a leading contender this awards season, having already collected major honours including the Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice awards for her role.
The Oscars ceremony takes place on March 15th, 2026 in Los Angeles, so lets keep our fingers crossed.
