It's great that Irish fillums did well at the #BAFTAs but I strongly disagree with awards for any creative field. They are generally confused as a guarantee of quality, a pinnacle of what's possible. But in the arts what is beloved is subjective. Really they are marketing; you see award winning studio, award nominated producer, winner of 7 awards etc on all promo materials.
Go see, do and listen to the things you love, not what some judges decided is the current thing

@ronanmcd What you’re describing is County Cork but as an industry
@kevinteljeur sssh! If you mention Cork they all appear in unison immediately, the sounds of a million whispered "boy"s carried on the wind & rolling over the border counties (that's everywhere between Dublin and Cork)
@ronanmcd The sounds of a million whispered "boy"s carried on the wind got an award in 2017 for 'Best Regional Carried Sound in Cork, 2017'
@kevinteljeur Artisanal west cork produce. The band wore leather aprons, wax jackets and flat caps inside their land rovers
