So too has Paul Mescal, who is going up against Farrell in the best actor shortlist, for his role in Aftersun.

The Banshees of Inisherin director Martin McDonagh has added to his growing Oscar CV with nods for best director and best original screenplay. The film is also among the bookmakers' favourites for best picture.

Meanwhile an Cailín Ciúin is up for best international feature film – the first ever Irish language movie to get a nomination.

They will all be hoping for the ‘luck of the Irish’ at the ceremony held by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 12. It will be hosted by US talk show favourite Jimmy Kimmel.
