Jessie Buckley is favored to win Best Actress for Hamnet after sweeping major precursor awards, with Gold Derby rating her chances at 97 percent.

  • On Saturday, March 14 the 98th Academy Awards will feature Jessie Buckley as the frontrunner for Best Actress, with her chances rated at 97% by Gold Derby.
  • Buckley has swept the season's precursor prizes, winning the Golden Globe, Critics Choice, Actor Award and BAFTA, making her the only acting nominee to collect all four this year.
  • The 36-year-old is being recognised for her portrayal of Agnes in Chloe Zhao's Hamnet and is her second Oscar nomination after The Lost Daughter, with recent roles in Women Talking, Judy, and The Bride!
  • Local leaders and Buckley’s school have issued video tributes and timelines celebrating her career, while Mayor of Killarney Martin Grady and the Arbutus Hotel prepare for TV coverage and Tim Buckley, father, said Friday, 'Jessie has already finished in glory as far as we’re concerned'.
  • A Buckley win would mark a historic first for Ireland in Best Actress, but her poorly reviewed film The Bride! may have torpedoed her odds, while Sinners holds 16 nominations.
