Eve Hewson, the Irish actress now starring alongside Sharon Horgan on the dark Apple TV+ comedy BAD SISTERS, will be saluted at the 17th annual Oscar Wilde Awards in March, it was announced Monday. Hewson will receive the Wilde Card Award, which event organizer Trina Vargo, president of the US-Ireland Alliance, notes is used “to bring attention to rising talent who may not yet be a household name, but who we expect will be.”
Irish director John Carney’s FLORA AND SON, is a US-Ireland co-production from Dublin-based Treasure Entertainment. BAD SISTERS star Eve Hewson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt star in the film about a woman inspired by a guitar she finds in a bin for her teenage son. Carney is the filmmaker behind ONCE and SING STREET, both of which garnered critical acclaim upon release.
