The Banshees of Inisherin and The Quiet Girl herald the latest breakthrough of Irish talent in Hollywood, writes Emma Jones.
Asked at the London Critics' Circle Awards on what had made Irish film so successful this year, The Banshees of Inisherin director Martin McDonagh quipped, "I honestly don't know. Brexit? Something in the water? Something."

What is true is that when the Oscars are held on 12 March in Los Angeles at the start of a week that includes St Patrick's Day, the Irish contingent in Hollywood will be bigger than ever. Irish talent has 14 Oscar nominations, with the tragicomedy The Banshees of Inisherin taking nine, and County Kildare-born Paul Mescal garnering his first best actor nomination at the age of 26, for Aftersun, the debut feature film by Scottish director Charlotte Wells.

History has also been made with Colm Bairéad's first feature film, An Cailín Ciúin or The Quiet Girl, which is nominated for best international feature film – the first ever movie in the Irish language to get an Oscar nomination. The Northern Irish short film An Irish Goodbye is also a contender for best live action short film.

After Irish talent won six British Bafta film awards recently, the famous "luck" of the Irish might hold in Hollywood too – although it's less luck and more the culmination of years of strategy that's led to this recognition.
