Blocked that account hating on Jessie Buckley & her human reaction to an Oscar win. You can dislike Hamnet & her performance, but if you feel entitled to writing a thread on how she’s annoying & false & rubs you the wrong way, you’re a Hatha-hater adjacent misogynist and buh bye.

I was recommended the Oscar-winning documentary short (it’s 35 mins), All The Empty Rooms, by my friend Joe Duffy. It’s about the bedrooms, left untouched, of kids murdered in school shootings in the US. Powerful and very moving. Search it on #Netflix.

@PMc276 @Bonn1eGreer Agree. He deserved to be nominated for Supporting Actor.

@ThomasGaravan @Bonn1eGreer I thought Paul was amazing in it too, a beautiful film, a story so well told

#Hamnet -Not for me.
But #JessieBuckley is a great actor and she will get a film worthy of her.
And she praised #motherhood-as a choice.
Not a destiny.

Beautiful. Hollywood Star Jessie Buckley praises marriage and motherhood during her Oscar-winning speech, dedicating the award to every mom “I would like to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a mother’s heart.” Marriage isn’t a trap. Babies aren’t burdens. Motherhood is a gift.

You must be so disappointed that winning actress & new mother Jessie Buckley didn’t use her Oscar speech to condemn Israel & America, extol the virtues of Gazans/Hamas & that she isn’t a ‘transwoman’. No special welcome to the Aras for her, so. 😳🫣@paulmurphy_TD @RBoydBarrett

Congratulations to Jessie Buckley, John Kelly, Richard Baneham, Maggie O’Farrell, Element Pictures and Wild Atlantic Pictures on their Oscar nominations and to all involved in the Irish film industry for its continued international recognition.

Whether the Oscar goes to Jessie Buckley tonight or not she has made history!
If it's not tonight it'll be another time!
I gladly go on every journey with her!
I've seen movies that I wouldn't have enjoyed had it not been for her.
Good Luck for tonight!
Have fun & enjoy the ride!

The electorate voted for Catherine Connolly to become our president. Not because of her keepyuppy skills because of her integrity. The Irish media could do with some.
Business Post@businessposthq
We need to talk about the presidency. Nobody wants to do so. Not the government. Not the opposition. Not most of the media. Not those on the right. And certainly not those on the left, at least not while they agree with the views of the office holder. businesspost.ie/api/oc-post/?u…

@Independent_ie Our president is speaking for us because our government refuses to.

@paulmurphy_TD @unadunphy Utter nonsense. What a waste of journalism.
English
I've no problem with Sarah Carey disagreeing with Catherine Connolly. She's perfectly entitled to.
I have a problem with this nonsense: "The problem is that as president, she’s not entitled to say it."
Of course she's entitled to! We elected her to.

@DonaldClarke63 Agree. However I have great respect for JCO.

I don't want to diss the great JCO, but THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY is not *remotely* Murphy's first lead role.

@Variety @ByClaytonDavis These predictions are totally wild if I am honest. OBAA will clearly take the biggest number of Oscars on the night. And it deserves them. Sinners was only ok if I am honest. Great use of music and some good acting. OBAA has all of those strengths and more.

#Sinners is expected to dominate the #Oscars, with @ByClaytonDavis predicting wins for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

President Catherine Connolly criticises ‘violations of international law’ in Middle East

Given that President Connolly opposed the totally empty carers referendum and was a key ally for carers in that campaign, she is one of very few political leaders with integrity on these issues.

Thank you, President Connolly
Ministers are concerned Donald Trump could cancel Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s White House visit over controversial comments by Catherine Connolly.
President Connolly said the ongoing missile attacks in the Middle East are ‘deliberate assaults on international law’.
One Cabinet minister told Extra.ie last night: ‘This statement is hugely problematic in so many ways, but mostly in its timing. It will still be live and sensitive when the Taoiseach goes to the Oval Office.’
