Michael Smiley plays a father on the edge in Obituary

Magee and Keeley are up against some strong competition with Michael Smiley (Obituary), Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) Daryl McCormack (The Woman in the Wall) also nominated. While Dunne competes with Sharon Horgan (Best Interests), Niamh Algar (Malpractice), Elva Trill (Northern Lights), Siobhán Cullen (Obituary) and Caitríona Balfe (Outlander).

The Best Drama category showcases a wealth of homegrown talent with Blue Lights, Hidden Assets, Northern Lights, Obituary and The Woman in the Wall also vying for the coveted award.

Agnes O'Casey stars in Lies We Tell

Over in the film categories Lisa Mulcahy’s gothic Irish tale, Lies We Tell, has received a whopping 13 nominations including Best Film, Lead Actor for David Wilmot, Lead Actress for Agnes O’Casey and Best Director for Mulcahy.

It will be a hotly contested battle for the Lead Actor award with Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), Andrew Scott (All Of Us Strangers), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn), Barry Ward (That We May Face The Rising Sun) and Pierce Brosnan (The Last Rifleman) also in the running.

Jessie Buckey stars in the romantic drama movie Fingernails

Stephen Rea will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's ceremony. The award will be presented to the Oscar-nominated actor for his outstanding contribution to the Irish and international screen industry over a career that has spanned five decades.

Responding to the Lifetime Achievement Award announcement, Rea said: "So much of Irish culture has been recovered and reimagined. Music, language, literature, theatre.

Stephen Rea will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award

"And cinema can be added to that list because of the special energy of John Boorman who produced Neil Jordan's first film Angel. And to my astonishment, my first film too. Neil thrust the script and a saxophone into my hands and suddenly I was in the movies. Well, one really original movie, which was at the beginning of a new confidence in Irish cinema.

"And now many films later, IFTA have, equally surprisingly, offered me a Lifetime Achievement Award. A lifetime of collaboration with the most generous and creative artists you could ever work with. And hang out with. Thanks to all of them. Thank you IFTA."

Vanessa Redgrave and Ronan O’Casey in

Blow-Up (1966) Director: Michelango Antonioni

[randomnotesnet]

Reflections of My Life XVI – Watching You

It’s Square Not to Be Hip, but …

It’s Also Schwer to Be Hip

The screenplay, by Antonioni (“just call me Michelangelo”), Tonio Guerra, and Edward Bond, told the story of a planned murder. But the scenes depicting the […] the murder and its aftermath […] were never shot because the film went seriously over budget.

The intended story was as follows:

[…] I pick up Vanessa in a nice new dark green Jaguar and we drive through London – giving Antonioni a chance to film that swinging, trendy, sixties city […] We stop and I buy Vanessa a man's watch, which she wears throughout the rest of the film.

[…]

Their plans goes awry when he notices Hemmings with his camera and fears that Hemmings has photos of her. As it turns out, he has.

Paris at the Station, June 1940

Letter From a Seemingly Never Ending Adolescence

Boss, let's get out of here.

No, sir. I'm waiting for a lady.

Please, boss, let's go. Ain't nothing but trouble for you here.

She's coming back. I know she's coming back.

We'll take the car and drive all night. We'll get drunk. We'll go …

Sweetness heart …

What Watch?

She Glances at Her Pendulum Watch …

Your Friend Is a Bit Past It

Such Much?

Maybe, but it seemed like a good time to start.

Well, You’re Not Only a Patriot, You’ve Become a Sentimentalist …

Frau Leuchtag and I are speaking nothing but English now. So we should feel at home ven ve get to America.

A very nice idea …

You Will Get Along Beautifully in America, Huh

Uh, My Watch Stopped

I bet they're asleep in New York. I'll bet they're asleep all over America .

Find Mr. Laszlo 's Luggage

… and put it it on the plane. I'm staying here with him 'til the plane gets safely away.

Last night we said a great many things … it all adds up to one thing. You're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong …

You better hurry, or you'll miss that plane, I was willing to shoot Captain Renault, and I'm willing to shoot you.

I Think This Is the Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship

The two walk off together into the night.

You never know what's gonna happen between here and there.

Don't worry too much. It's just the smart people that have to worry. The Lord will take care of the ignorant ones. You paying attention?

I still owe you ten thousand thanks. My letter of transit?

It might be a good idea for a passage, I could use a trip. And that ten thousand thanks should pay our expenses.

But it doesn't make any difference about our bet.

Jackie O. Visits Michael J. in Encino – It’s No Thriller for Those Outside

By  Patricia Ward Biederman, Feb. 7, 1985 – The Los Angeles Times

“They already know about this in London,” photographer Kip Rano said Wednesday afternoon as he waited for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ limousine to pull into Michael Jackson’s driveway.

[…]

Only in America, perhaps, could such a scene take place – the media poised to observe the widow of an assassinated President paying a call on a superstar whose trademark is a childish whisper and a sequined glove.

A “Blow-Up” Flashback – The Fog in Louisiana

“Daydream Believer” by The Monkees, Jane, Flashy Cars and Speedotron:

Death by Accident at High Speed

In 1967, [Jane] Mansfield was in Biloxi, Mississippi, for an engagement at the Gus Stevens Supper Club. After two appearances on the evening of June 28, Mansfield, Sam Brody (her attorney and companion), their driver Ronnie Harrison (age 20), and three of her children –  Miklós, Zoltán, and Mariska – left Biloxi after midnight in a 1966 Buick Electra 225.

Their destination was New Orleans […] At about 2:25 a.m., on U.S. Highway 90 west of the Rigolets Bridge, the Buick crashed at high speed into the rear of a tractor-trailer shrouded in insecticide fog that had slowed behind a truck spraying mosquito fogger. The three adults in the front seat died instantly. The children, asleep in the rear seat, survived with minor injuries.
