Barry Keoghan slams British Airways for losing luggage on way to Oscars

Dublin Oscar hopeful Barry Keoghan has slammed British Airways after his luggage was lost on his trip to Los Angeles.

The 30-year-old criticised the "bad customer service", saying that there was a lot of sentimental items in his suitcase and the airline "can’t seem to be any way helpful in one bit".

Keoghan has been nominated for best supporting actor in this weekend's 95th Academy Awards for his role as Dominic Kearney in the Banshees of Inisherin, marking his first ever Oscar nomination.

In a now-deleted tweet posted on Wednesday, he said: “Lost my suitcase with @British_Airways and they can’t seem to be any way helpful in one bit.

“Here in LA for Oscars and had tons of sentimental stuff I wanted to wear and bring with me. Such bad customer service. Sent me to LAX to tell me they can’t help me. Tut tut.”

Keoghan recently won a Bafta award for best supporting actor for his performance in the Banshees of Inisherin. The film has fuelled high hopes for success at the Academy Awards, with nine total nominations.

The 95th Academy Awards will take place on March 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
