“Hamnet” star Jessie Buckley won the Oscar for best actress at Sunday night’s Academy Awards, becoming the first Irish actress to win the prize.
This was Buckley’s second Oscar nomination; she was previously nominated for the best supporting actress prize for “The Lost Daughter.”
Buckley’s best actress win was perhaps the only lock in an increasingly unpredictable awards race. After all, she swept all the best actress prizes at the major ceremonies, including SAG-AFTRA’s Actor Awards, the BAFTAs, the Critics Choice awards and the Golden Globes. Still, Buckley was visibly moved to hear her name read as her streak culminated at the 98th Oscars ceremony, held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and hosted by comedian Conan O’Brien, who returned as emcee for the second year in a row.
