The Banshees of Inisherin is the fourth film written and directed by award-winning playwright Martin McDonagh. His feature debut, In Bruges, landed a best original screenplay nomination. Three Billboards scored 7 Oscar nominations and 2 Oscars for best actress (McDormand) and best supporting actor (Rockwell). Seven Psychopaths, his second motion picture, was well-received by film critics, but bombed as an award season player.
Banshees is set on a remote island off the coast of West Ireland. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson star as two lifelong friends trying to repair their broken relationship. Just like McDonagh's other pictures, this one is another comedy-drama. How will this do during award season?

I think it's a player for Adapted Screenplay (it's an unproduced play of McDonagh's, so it'll likely go the same route that Moonlight went in that respect) and possibly both supporting categories. Kerry Condon apparently has the juiciest role of the script and Supporting Actress is looking thin on the ground; Condon's one of those actresses who's cropped up in a lot of things and put in her dues without quite getting the name recognition -- this could be it. Gleeson's obviously overdue, and Keoghan is a rising star. One or even both of them could find themselves in the hunt if the Academy gravitates towards this, especially in a post-Three Billboards era. Farrell might very well be a Best Actor player as well, but I dunno... I feel like this won't be quite the big contender that Three Billboards was. But I'm hoping for great things.

I was thinking it would until I watched the trailer and remembered that McDonagh also directed In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths. The plot sounded interesting and the cast is great but it looks very niche and off-beat so atm I say it gets nothing except possibly screenplay.

seeming unlikely at the moment. the conflicts felt too understated from the trailer for the ham-preferring Academy to respond...

It doesn't come across that way, no. Best case scenario would be screenplay but I think that's a long shot.

It looks like it would dominate BIFA, maybe score a few nods at the BAFTAs, but the Oscars ... probably not.

Yes, some reviews are calling it McDonagh's best film. Screenplay feels like strong bet with Farrell also a possibility.

Screenplay and Best Actor at a minimum.

So apparently the screenplay is actually original; McDonagh just took his unproduced play's title and used it for an original script.
I think Picture, Actor and Screenplay are very strong, and I think both Supporting Actor (Gleeson) and Supporting Actress (Condon) are on the table. Techs like Production Design and Cinematography have been singled out and there's a fair amount of contemporary films in contention this year that might help this to stand out.

I have it in Picture, Actor, Supporting Actor (Gleeson) and Original Screenplay at the moment. I have Condon as a super close #6 at the moment.
I think Keoghan, Director, Editing, Cinematography and Score are also feasible, but I’m not predicting them at the moment.

yeah I wasn't sure from the trailer but after all the reviews and the TIFF response I think it's a foregone conclusion for most people that this will do well. At the very least I think we can expect BP, original screenplay, and Farrell for actor (finally!)
where I'm at as of Oct. 7th
Best Picture
Best Actor - Farrell
Best Supporting Actress - Condon
Best Supporting Actor - Gleeson
Best Original Screenplay
Really have no clue about directing apart from Polley and Spielberg but right now I have McDonagh out of the top 5. I still have PTSD from him missing for Three Billboards which was a presumed BP frontrunner. The analysis back then was that the writing overshadowed the directing and that could very well happen again.

Score and editing are question marks but the rest of the techs I'm betting against. There's going to be too much competition in prod. design and costumes for something lowkey like this to break in there. Cinematography is also going to be really competitive.

The analysis back then was that the writing overshadowed the directing and that could very well happen again. The word on the street is that this film boasts more of a directorial flourish than Three Billboards did, and there could be a lot of leftover goodwill for McDonagh to get that nomination this time, especially if the film is once again a top five contender. Right now my Best Director picks are Spielberg, McDonagh, Chazelle, Cameron, and Polley. AGI is my alternate pick right now. |

IMO BP, Farrell, and screenplay are highly likely. Director, supporting actor (for Gleeson), supporting actress are all possible. The rest I'm not sure.

Kerry Condon might get in if actors really like the film. I don't think it's getting any tech mentions.

Bumping up again. There's been no action on this thread since October 12th.
PICTURE
ACTOR - Farrell
SUPPORTING ACTOR - Gleeson
SUPPORTING ACTRESS - Condon
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY - McDonagh
These are the categories the majority of you feel will get Oscar nominations. Director and Editing came close to getting 50% of the vote. Barry Keoghan got zero votes.
Do we still feel this is getting 5 Oscar nominations? Both the Globes and Critics Choice nominated it for picture, director, actor, supporting actress, screenplay, and two supporting actor nominations.
The film is currently favored via critics circle awards, to win ACTOR, SUPPORTING ACTRESS and ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY.

What changed your mind about Director, Barry, Cinematography, Editing and Score? I explained further up why I started predicting McDonagh. Keoghan started hitting precursors with regularity and he got the Globe nod, which I thought would be the toughest "big" precursor to get for him. Cinematography because it is a beautifully shot film that I think will appeal to voters. Editing because I think it's a Top 3 film and the editing has a lot to do with the comic timing. And score because it's beautifully haunting. Banshees is my predicted nomination leader. |

so as of now I'm predicting it for 9
Picture
Director
Lead Actor
Supporting Actor x2
Supporting Actress
Screenplay
Editing
Score
production design and cinematography are fully possible too and I'd love to see it get in for those. Costume is probably off the table.
