Barry Keoghan said he feels the BAFTA award success for The Banshees Of Inisherin will encourage artists in Ireland to"send the scripts in and go for what they want to do".
The Irish actor, 30, picked up the Best Supporting Actor prize for his role in the black-comedy/drama at the award ceremony after his co-star Kerry Condon won the Best Supporting Actress gong. Reflecting on what it means to receive the award for a film which is so close to home, Keoghan said:"It encourages the arts at home and we are an island of storytelling and great actors and poets and writers.
"And this helps the industry massively at home and encourages people to send the scripts in and go for what they want to do." He added that he plans to celebrate his win with his son by ordering room service after the ceremony and that he was going to keep the award under a picture of his mother.
Congratulations 👏👏

Seems to me that the scripts nowadays have to be peppered with swear words to be successful! Very sad!
Jesus
V brief, desultory style acceptance of his award speech as if it meant little to him. Because it's a british one?! . Was that for ppl back home? Political?
Not if the file wins ‘best British film’ awards.
