Seamus McGarvey & Fodhla Cronin O'Reilly Nominated For Oscars
Irish cinematographer Seamus McGarvey and Irish producer Fodhla Cronin O’Reilly have both been nominated for an Oscar for their work on ‘Anna Karenina’ and ‘Head Over Heels’ respectively.

The news comes just a day after Armagh-born McGarvey received an IFTA and a BAFTA nomination for his work on the Joe Wright period drama, which stars Keira Knightley and Aaron Taylor Johnson.

It is the second Oscar nomination for McGarvey, who previously received one on another Wright and Knightley collaboration ‘Atonement’.

‘Anna Karenina’ was nominated for four Oscars in total: Cinematography, Costume Design, Production Design and Music.

Fodhla Cronin O’Reilly’s short animation ‘Head Over Heels’ has been nominated in the Best Animated Short Film category. Cronin O’Reilly shares the nomination with director Timothy Reckart.

It is Cronin O’Reilly’s first Oscar nomination for the animation which sees a married couple live on opposite sides of their house; one lives on the ceiling the other on the floor.

The Academy of Motion Picture and Arts announced its 2013 nominations today (January 10). Steven Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’ dominated the nominations list, earning 12 in total, with Irish-based actor Daniel Day-Lewis receiving his fifth Best Actor nomination.

The Oscars will be held on February 24 and will be hosted by ‘Family Guy’ creator Seth MacFarlane.

Irish filmmakers Seamus McGarvey, Kris Kelly, Evelyn McGrath, Eamonn O'Neill and Martin McDonagh have all been nominated for BAFTA Awards, which were announced today.

Armagh-born McGarvey has received his second nomination today for his cinematography work on Joe Wright’s period drama ‘Anna Karenina’, having been nominated for both an IFTA Award and a BAFTA Award in the same day.

‘Anna Karenina’, released in 2012 to critical acclaim, stars Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar-nominee Keira Knightley. The film was McGarvey’s second time to team up with both Wright and Knightley, having previously worked on ‘Atonement’ together, for which he received an Oscar nomination.

Belfast-based duo Kris Kelly and Evelyn McGrath have also been nominated for a BAFTA Award for their short animation ‘Here to Fall’.

The short sees a girl connect with her father through a digital connection, only for her to soon realise she is falling into darkness after she falls far behind her father.

It is up against ‘I’m Fine Thanks’, directed by Irish animator Eamonn O'Neill, a graduate of IADT and the Royal College of Art. 'I'm Fine Thanks' previously won the Best Irish Short Film at the 2012 Corona Cork Film Festival.

Martin McDonagh makes the fifth Irish filmmaker nominated for a BAFTA with his comedy ‘Seven Psychopaths’ nominated in the Outstanding British Film category. The film starring Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson and Christopher Walken is up against ‘Anna Karenina’, ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’, ‘Les Miserables’, and ‘Skyfall’.

Other projects which made the BAFTA cut include Ben Affleck’s ‘Argo’, which received a total of seven nominations, and Steven Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’, which received the most nominations, earning nods in 10 different categories.
