Jessie Buckley will win an Oscar! | 98th Academy Awards Preview
Nigel and Páraic preview the 98th Academy Awards which will broadcast on the night of Sunday March 15th, hosted once again by Conan O'Brien.
Does Timothée still have a chance to win Best Actor? Will Sinners or One Battle After Another stand tall at the end of the night? Can any of the acting nominations from Sentimental Value go home with an award.
And the big question - can anyone beat Jessie Buckley, as the Irish film world looks to add another name to the short list of Oscar winners from the emerald isle - with the short Retirement Plan also in the mix for Best Animated Short Film.
