Ross White believes Irish awards season success can help ‘redefine the national narrative’ Oscars
The team behind Oscar-nominated short film An Irish Goodbye say they hope Irish success at this year’s awards season will provide an opportunity to “redefine the national narrative”. Director Ross White said that Northern Ireland was “at a crossroads moment” and that he was “pining to move on” and present the country in a different way on the global stage.
”We’re at this kind of crossroads moment, especially in Northern Ireland right now. With what’s been going on in the news, in recent weeks, we’ve got this kind of opportunity, it seems to have become a global kind of place. Irish talent has been well represented in recent months, with nominations across all major awards ceremonies coming for actor Paul Mescal and The Banshees Of Inisherin. Martin McDonagh’s film has picked up nine total nods at the Oscars, and Mescal joins its star Colin Farrell in the coveted best actor category.
“Game of Thrones came about 20 years back and really started something for our wee country,” he told PA. “And, you know, in a tumultuous past, it’s been an exciting new chapter for us to be telling the stories.
