"The 36-year-old new mother, taking to the stage in an elegant off-the-shoulder pink and red gown, became the first Irish woman to bring home an Oscar in the category. She hugged co-star and fellow Irish actor Paul Mescal as she tearfully stood up and approached the stage, next embracing last year's winner, Mikey Madison, as the Anora star presented Buckley with her statue."
Jessie Buckley, a 36-year-old Irish actress and new mother, won the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 98th Academy Awards ceremony. She wore an elegant off-the-shoulder pink and red gown to accept the award, making history as the first Irish woman to win in this category. Buckley received emotional support from fellow Irish actor Paul Mescal and was presented the Oscar by last year's winner Mikey Madison. Irish patrons at Auld Fella pub in Los Angeles, a Donegal-owned establishment on Wilshire Boulevard, celebrated her victory with cheers and enthusiasm.
