Published by Daniella Wilson

The Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival (CPH:DOX) put the spotlight on Irish documentary director Sinéad O’Shea and her latest doc, All About the Money, which world premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, on Wednesday morning. She was the featured speaker on the day’s “A Morning With” event at the industry conference of the 23rd edition of the festival in a session hosted by veteran documentary programmer Thom Powers of TUFF and Pure Nonfiction. All About the Money follows the journey of “activist” and “Communist revolutionary” James Cox Chambers, who goes by Fergie Chambers, the great-grandson of James M. Cox, the ex-governor of Ohio and Democratic presidential nominee in 1920. The member of the 0.01% serves as a lens for a broader exploration of money, power and revolution. Other parts of the story are Chambers’ Palestine and anti-Israel activism, which have drawn criticism, and the political comeback of Donald Trump. O’Shea has taken on topics that cause debate in her work. A Mother Brings Her Son to Be Shot focused on a woman in Northern Ireland bringing her son to a punishment shooting by a paramilitary group.

As Jessie Buckley became the first Irish woman in Oscars history to be crowned best actress, she made sure to wrap up her acceptance speech with some Gaelic. In Hamnet‘s only Academy Award win, Buckley beat Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value), and Emma Stone (Bugonia) to the penultimate prize of the evening. After thanking her husband and eight-month-old daughter, she dedicated the win to the “chaos of a mother’s heart.” Right before the Kerry native departed the stage, she could also be heard saying, “Go raibh maith agaibh, slán,” which Irish reports translate to “Thank you very much, goodbye.” Buckley went into more detail about making history backstage, also commenting on it being Mother’s Day in the U.K. on Sunday: “First Irish woman to win and on Mother’s Day — it feels like some kind of crazy alchemy that all of these things are colliding on a day like today,” she said. “My daughter got her first tooth this week, I woke up …

In an unusually unpredictable Oscars race, there is only one moment experts agree is a dead cert – Jessie Buckley, on stage once again, to collect the award for best actress. The big honours started with a Critics Choice award in January. A Golden Globe followed, then a BAFTA, and most recently, a statuette at the Actor Awards. Buckley is the only acting nominee to take home all four this year, and she has picked up other smaller awards, too. The Oscar, it seems, is hers to lose. Latest updates – The Oscars Image: Jessie Buckley stars as Agnes and Joe Alwyn as Bartholomew in Hamnet.
