They would have been overwhelmed by this incredible honour – as am I. Given a story as personal as this one, it’s a hell of a day for my family, and the family of our film. “I thank Academy voters for their incredible and generous recognition. “We are honoured to be among the other extraordinary nominees in a remarkable year for films, and I salute the superb cast and crew of ‘Belfast’ for their exceptional talent, comradeship and kindness. ”Sir Kenneth is nominated in the best directing category alongside Jane Campion, who makes history as the first woman to be nominated for the best director Oscar twice, this time round for ‘The Power Of The Dog’.
She was also nominated for ‘The Piano’ in 1994. While Branagh’s ‘Belfast’ got seven nominations, ‘The Power Of The Dog’ is nominated for 12 prizes, including Best Picture, while stars Kirsten Dunst, her partner Jesse Plemons and co-star Kodi Smit-McPhee, are all recognised in supporting categories.
