London-Irish director tipped for Oscar success

London-Irish director Martin McDonagh and leading actress Frances McDormand have been tipped for Oscar success with their new film, writes Helen Barlow.

Martin McDonagh and his new film, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, are the talk of the awards circuit.

His dark yet humorous tale of Mildred Hayes, a desperate mother erecting billboards to force the local police to find her 16-year-old daughter’s killer, has already attracted awards attention.
