Jordan impressed the jury with his performance in the film "Sinners", where he simultaneously embodied the images of twins, demonstrating a wide emotional and psychological range.

The award in the "Best Actress" category went to Jessie Buckley for her role in the drama "Hamnet". Her performance was noted for its ability to convey the entire spectrum of emotions - from tenderness to deep pain. For Buckley, as, incidentally, for Jordan, this is the first "Oscar", and her victory became significant for Irish cinema, as she is the first actress from Ireland to receive an award in this category.
Jessie Buckley played the role of Agnes Shakespeare, Hamnet's mother, in the drama Hamnet. Her character goes through deep emotional trials: from tenderness and love for her son to tragic grief over his loss, which makes the image extremely rich and dramatically complex.
Recall
