All eyes are on Jessie Buckley this weekend, as she looks set to become the first Irish woman to be awarded the Best Actress Oscar.
The Killarney woman has been on a winning streak this awards season, picking up Critic's Choice, Golden Globe, IFTA, BAFTA and Actors Awards for her role of Agnes Shakespeare in Hamnet.
The 36-year-old actress looks poised to be the first woman to earn an acting Oscar since Brenda Fricker won for Best Supporting Actress in 1993's My Left Foot.
Well wishes are pouring in from across the country and abroad as Jessie remains favourite to win the famous statuette.
Taoiseach Micheal Martin has praised her performance in Hamnet, stating that she has touched the hearts of people not just in Ireland but around the globe:
The 98th Academy Awards will be taking place in the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, starting at 11pm Irish time.
Radio Kerry will be broadcast live tonight from midnight, with updates from the event and exclusive interviews with some of Jessie's family live from Killarney.
