Indeed, there will be huge Irish interest in the show given our country's unprecedented presence at the awards.

Amongst the Banshees nominations is Colin Farrell for Best Actor, while his co-stars Barry Keoghan and Brendan Gleeson are nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category and Kerry Condon is up for Best Supporting Actress.
In the Best Actor category, Farrell will also face off against Kildare's own Paul Mescal for his breakthrough film role in the acclaimed indie drama Aftersun, along with Austin Butler (Elvis), Bill Nighy (Living) and Brendan Fraser (The Whale).
On top of all this, the Irish language drama An Cailín Ciúin (The Quiet Girl) earned a nod in the Best International Feature Film category but will have to defeat All Quiet on the Western Front (Germany), Argentina, 1985 (Argentina), Close (Belgium) and EO (Poland) to take home a trophy.
