𝗜𝗡 𝗔 𝗦𝗘𝗔 𝗢𝗙 𝗢𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗜𝗦𝗘 — 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗛𝗜𝗧 𝗗𝗜𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗟𝗬 I'll be honest. The Oscars are not exactly must-see television for me anymore. But someone sent me this — and I watched it twice. Irish actress Jessie Buckley just won Best Actress. And instead of a political lecture,... instead of a pin, instead of a land acknowledgment or a cause of the week — she talked about her husband. Her eight-month-old daughter dreaming of milk at home. Her Irish family whose flights were paid for by Ireland itself to be in that room. 𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘥.

Then she dedicated the award to motherhood itself — on Mother's Day in the UK — with words that belong on a wall somewhere: 𝘛𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦.

Hollywood spent years telling women that ambition means leaving behind the things Jessie Buckley just stood on the biggest stage in her industry and celebrated without apology. A husband she adores. A baby at home. A family flown in from Ireland. I don't know what film she won for. But I know I'll watch it now. Well done, Jessie. 𝗚𝗼 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗯𝗵 𝗺í𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘁.show more

Jessie is an immense talent and also an accomplished singer.

It was also Mother’s Day in Ireland where she is from. Very strange to use the UK im her speech

I love that she ended her speech in her native language too.

Have you heard her sing?

In a world full of @jimmykimmel ‘s we need more Jessie Buckley’s!

The film she won Best Actress for is Hamnet. She deserves this award. She was/is excellent. I really liked the film. All the actors were so wonderful.

For Hamnet. She's utterly brilliant in it. The closing sequence with Max Richter's On the Nature of Daylight, is heart-rending.

She is an amazing actress. A once in a generation talent.

And she is wearing a dress that is covering everything up but is still glamorous, unlike many of the twice her age desperados strutting part naked on the carpet, not having won anything for years. Nicole Kidman also covered up and looked very glamorous. Congratulations Jessie.

"I don't know what film she won for." - WHAT? That's surely the minimum you need to find out before you post about it!

It’s a huge improvement from an actress who a few years back who won was grateful for killing her babies because apparently babies would have gotten in her way of winning an Oscar

A wonderful heartfelt speech. We are very proud of our Jessie. 🇮🇪

Movie is Hamnet, about Shakespeare’s family. On my list as well

Ever heard this beautiful and talented lady and actress sing? She has immense ability! You tube her…

It was the absolute best speech of the night and overall the entire event was one of the better ones! My extremely conservative dad even watched and enjoyed it until Kimmel (lol) but some people just can’t help themselves! Thanks for sharing! 💝💝

Welp...we'll never see her again.

Was it not Mother’s Day in her homeland also ???

Lovely post. Just a quick note that Ireland is not in the UK. Go raibh maith agat!

You can currently watch Jessie Buckley in “The Bride” co-starring Christian Bale as Frankenstein’s monster now playing at the theater.

Hats off to the girl from Killarney! 🫡😃🥰

The film was about motherhood- so it made sense. If she wins for The Bride she might make a speech about reanimating the dead.

You must watch Hamnet! She was stunning in her performance.

Jessie Buckley has made plenty of films and every one of them is enjoyable to watch. In case you'r interested.

She was amazing! And it was so refreshing to see someone who is sincere! Also Director of One Battle, Paul Thomas Anderson... humble and funny and most of all NON-POLITCAL ! I've no problem with actors advocating...but the oscars is not the place. It feels exploitative otherwise

I believe it was the one where she plays Shakespeares wife.

' You don't know what movie it was 😂😂😂🤡 Just like your idol Trump you're a f***in charlatan and a philistine. Jessie Buckley absolutely despises all of the #MAGA cult Taoiseach Micheál Martin represents nobody. #TonightVMTV #liveline #Oscar #rtept #StPatricksDay

@maryharryheff Thank you Michael for a wonderful commentary on #Jessie & her #oscar She was in Hamnet as Shakespeare's wife & she was phenomenal.

These speeches from these people are all absolute onsense. Ricky Gervais put it best.

Love this! Imagine that there are women that "hate children" and pretend to be Christian.

I have loved & admired her work for years. I knew she was destined for stardom way back when.

The uk?? Mother’s Day in Ireland…

Hamnet.... It's based on a BRILLIANT book about Shakespeare & Anne Hathaway and the loss of their son who died of the black plague. Anne's heart is broken but Shakespeare immortalizes Hamnet in his play Hamlet and in that Anne's heart is comforted.

And Hamnet’s a beautiful movie too

I've seen Hamnet in a pre-run. It's a must-watch. Jessie Buckley and Jacobi Jupe, who played her son: both of them were more then just remarkable.

She’s pro-choice, supports lgbtq, etc, Even liberal women love their partners and children, you dolts.
