An Irish Goodbye won best live action short film at the 95th Academy Awards
An Irish Goodbye has won best live action short film at the 95th Academy Awards. The win, coming after Kenneth Branagh's Belfast won the Best Original Screenplay'award in 2022, means Northern Ireland has won Oscars for two years in a row.
The directors of An Irish Goodbye led a chorus of Happy Birthday for the film’s star James Martin as they collected their award. The dark comedy set on a farm in Northern Ireland has already won best British short film at the Baftas. James had previously said that having his birthday coincide with this year’s Oscars ceremony was like “a Cinderella story”.
He captioned the video: “Team talk from the gaffer ahead of today’s #Oscars @TheAcademy. Huge thanks to the legend that is Jurgen Klopp for taking the time and to my amazing Dad for pestering @LFC to make this happen.”
