It’s a record-breaking year for Irish film, with 14 Oscar nominations for domestic films and talent announced yesterday by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. If you haven’t yet seen The Banshees of Inisherin, An Cailín Ciúin, Aftersun or An Irish Goodbye, here’s where to watch them at cinemas or at home. We also include details for Elvis and Avatar: The Way of Water, whose Irish talent was also nominated for Academy Awards, plus where to see Everything Everywhere All at Once, which is up for a race-leading 11 awards, and All Quiet on the Western Front, which ties with The Banshees of Inisherin with nine nominations.
