The Oscar nominations will be announced shortly, with high hopes for Irish talent.
Killarney's Jessie Buckley, now a Golden Globe winner, is tipped to be nominated for Best Actress for her role in the movie Hamnet.
The nominees will be announced by actors Danielle Brooke and Lewis Pullman in Beverly Hills via a livesteam at around 1.30pm Irish time.
Awards season is in full swing now, and after a successful trip to the Golden Globes and Critics Choice all Irish eyes are on Jessie Buckley today.
The Kerry native is tipped to get a nod in the Best Actress category, for her performance in 'Hamnet.'
Her co-star Paul Mescal could also be nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
Andrew Scott could also be in with a shot on the shortlist for his performance in comedy-drama Blue Moon.
Dubliner Richard Baneham, who is a double Oscar winner for his visual effects work on the Avatar films, is favoured to do the treble for his work on the recently released Avatar: Fire and Ash.
Elsewhere, Leonardo DiCaprio's politically-charged thriller One Battle After Another is expected to lead the field.
Vampire horror Sinners is also considered a strong contender in today's nominations.
The Oscars, hosted by Conan O'Brien, will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday, 15 March.
