A golden opportunity - Ireland goes to the Oscars

PRESENCE, profile, facetime, peer recognition, empathy, and internationally recognised awards all help to make an entity as successful as it might be. This week an unprecedented seven nominations with Irish connections run the Oscars’ gauntlet in Los Angles.

This means that the Irish Film Board, despite greatly reduced resources, will be better represented at the awards ceremony, which will be watched by millions around the world, than either Paramount or Universal Studios.
