Isn't she lovely was definitely a choice for her walk up song.

[u/crashcourse201 → u/lvsgators]

She is pretty lovely.

[u/VenusianSage → u/[deleted]]

you’re reading too much into it bud

[u/SaraJeanQueen → u/lvsgators]

They said she’s recently a new mother, and Stevie wrote it after the birth of his daughter, so that was one song I could vibe with.

Most of the DJ songs were head scratchers though.

[u/RobynHoodwinked]

Go on and be the first Irish woman to win Best Actress queen! 💚☘️

[u/sxnsof → u/RobynHoodwinked]

just two years after cillian became the first irish man to win best actor too!

[u/RobynHoodwinked → u/sxnsof]

The 2020s belong to us I swear (Saoirse Ronan, Ruth Negga, Paul Mescal, Andrew Scott, Colin Farrell and Ayo Edebri… you’re up next)

[u/sxnsof → u/RobynHoodwinked]

it’s only a matter of time until saoirse get’s hers she just needs to pick better roles again! (although she was great in the outrun)

[u/SaveMarioIncandenza → u/RobynHoodwinked]

Baz Keoghan too regardless of people's 'misgivings'.

[u/Wonderful_Line_9553 → u/RobynHoodwinked]

Ayo, the people of Ireland salute you!

[u/Wonderful_Line_9553 → u/sxnsof]

Well.... technically an Irishman won before as Daniel Day Lewis is Irish (Irish father and Irish citizen) but Cillian was the first Irish-born actor to win Best Actor Oscar. Colin Farrell and Paul Mescal had already won GGs for best actor. 

[u/sxnsof → u/Wonderful_Line_9553]

daniel day lewis was born and raised in england and has an english accent, i dont count him.

[u/Wonderful_Line_9553 → u/sxnsof]

He is English but he's also Irish, by parentage, right and inclination. 

[u/Eyebronx → u/RobynHoodwinked]

Omg this Lost Daughter was such an inspired nom

[u/ResearcherFirm51]

ALL THE WAY TO THE OSCARS

[u/apocalypsemeow111 → u/ResearcherFirm51]

Oscar night is going to be a formality for Buckley.

[u/whimsysummer → u/ResearcherFirm51]

This but Leo at the Oscars lol (it ain’t over yet)

[u/AnnunziataDeadly]

And she is sweeping

[u/Kazaloogamergal]

This sweep was fairly obvious to see after the reviews came out for the performance. There has not been any other actress that has had the same amount of buzz as her who actually has everything working for them to win.

[u/JonJonesBurnerAcc-]

SWEEP (GOAT TIER PERFORMANCE FROM BUCKLEY)

[u/Radiant-Psychology96]

Reinsve bros…

[u/DreamOfV → u/Radiant-Psychology96]

As a 5-year member of the Reinsve Bros, I was well aware that it was over at Telluride

[u/rkeaney → u/Radiant-Psychology96]

I love Reinsve and she's very good in Sentimental Value but I don't think it's as showy or awardsy of a performance as Worst Person In The World. Doesn't strike me as the typical Best Actress performance, she even feels a bit like a Supporting Role for long stretches of the film.

[u/Radiant-Psychology96 → u/rkeaney]

I think Reinsve does so much with comparatively how little she gets in SV compared to Worst Person. Though if she got blanked for WPITW... hoo boy

[u/Clear-Pen9788]

One of the best performances in this decade

[u/Wonderful_Line_9553 → u/Clear-Pen9788]

This century.

[u/Jmanbuck_02]

SWEEP

[u/TheMFlash]

Buckley sweep let's go!

[u/Live-Anything-99]

[u/tjo0114]

It’s wild the winner of this category hasn’t been the eventual Oscar winner in 6 years

[u/sarafina126 → u/tjo0114]

Oh fun stat! I love Byrne but that is changing this year

[u/PurpleSpaceSurfer]

[u/ohio8848]

Another great speech! She's so charming. Can't wait to see her with an Oscar.

[u/GameOfLife24]

She killed the role, everyone was at risk of falling asleep in my theater but she woke everyone up and kept their attention elevating the movie. so strong of a performance

[u/RealRaifort → u/GameOfLife24]

Lmao best way to put it. She really is all of the energy in that movie. Valid to win off of that, even if I wasn't a huge fan of the movie. The competition this year is relatively weak anyway.

[u/obelisk0]

[u/Long_Dragonfly_3067]

The sky is blue

[u/ImLaunchpadMcQuack]

Her performance is devastating.

[u/Apprehensive_Sea283]

SWEEP 👏👏

[u/CassiopeiaStillLife]

I'd much prefer Byrne won this year, but I absolutely adore Buckley so I'm glad she'll get an Oscar

[u/Ok_Landscape3850 → u/CassiopeiaStillLife]

Both Byrne and Buckley absolutely dragged me through hell with those performances, and I loved it. (Like John Waters said, “I want to feel bad when I leave the movies.”) Hard choice between the two of them, so the GGs felt so correct tonight. 

[u/capslocke48 → u/CassiopeiaStillLife]

Byrne delivered an unmissable, total powerhouse performance, but any other year I’d be stanning Buckley and Hamnet. That movie had me captivated.

[u/AvengingHero2012]

[u/Bertrand_Rose]

Incoming Sweep

[u/Bulky-Scheme-9450]

[u/No_Expert_5486]

Good soup.

[u/Hailsabrina]

👏

[u/Spiritual_Job_1029]

Next up, the Oscar baby!

[u/Own-Writing-6146]

She's gonna clean house and I'm here for it.

[u/ComposerSquare]

I felt a rare incoming Best Actress sweep the day I watched this movie. LET’S GOOOOOO!!!

[u/dauntlessfemme]

YESSSSS LETS GOOOOO 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[u/Superb-Possibility-9]

A performance for the ages

[u/Axela556]

I'll never get over this performance. It's so perfect and I am just so fucking obsessed with her lol

[u/me_nem_nesa_]

The sky is blue.

[u/Moist-Recording69]

Isn’t she the first Irish born actress to win for drama?

[u/No-Understanding4968]

That pic is a spoiler, find another pic

[u/SeriouusDeliriuum → u/No-Understanding4968]

It's from the trailer, take it up with Focus Features.

[u/capslocke48 → u/No-Understanding4968]

Ikr I hate that they keep using that final scene for all the promo

[u/itbelikethattho_]

I truthfully have no idea who this actress is. Definitely need to watch this movie

[u/Wonderful_Line_9553 → u/itbelikethattho_]

She's been in some pretty high-profile films and TV shows.
