From BBC talent show contestant to Golden Globe winner 🏆✨
Jessie Buckley`s journey is pure cinema magic. Eighteen years after appearing on I`D DO ANYTHING as a teenager, she`s now an Oscar frontrunner for her stunning performance as Shakespeare`s wife in HAMNET.
The Irish actor just took home the Golden Globe for best actress in a drama, and with Academy Award nominations dropping January 22, she could become only the fifth Irish actor ever to win that coveted gold statuette.
Even more incredible? Northern Ireland author Maggie O`Farrell, who wrote the original novel, co-wrote the screenplay and could score her own Oscar. A potential double win for the island of Ireland 🇮🇪
Co-produced by Steven Spielberg (who says he "loved" the book) and co-starring Paul Mescal as Shakespeare himself, HAMNET brought together a Chinese director, Irish leads, a Polish crew, and British collaborators to tell the story of England`s most famous writer.
From reality TV to the precipice of Oscar glory—this is what the long game looks like 🎬
