The 2021 Oscars takes place tonight
with Irish film Wolfwalkers hoping to be among the winners
The movie, made by Kilkenny's Cartoon Saloon, is up for best animated feature.
Most of the ceremony will come from Los Angeles - but a number of European hubs have been built so nominees can attend in person.
The list of nominations is one of the most diverse ever - Riz Ahmed's the first Muslim to be up for best actor, for his role in Sound of Metal:
"When we get better representation of women or Muslims or disabled people on screen, it's not just a win for that community it's a win for all of us, because it stretches culture, it stretches the range of stories that are told, and there's got to be a win for all of us."
