I was fortunate enough to catch the three Irish Oscar nominated movies on Wednesday evening in the IFI . I had only seen the great Granny O’Grimm before, but was hugely surprised at the very moving The Door and the visually beautiful Secret of Kells.
The Door is a powerful short film, set in Chernobyl in 1986 – a universal tale of life, loss and death, it is nominated for Best Short Film (Live Action).
In the magical feature-length animation, The Secret of Kells, 12-year-old Brendan fights Vikings and a monster to find a crystal and complete the legendary book of Kells. Kells is nominated for Best Animated Feature Film.
Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty is nominated for Best Animated Short and is the story of a seemingly sweet old lady who terrifies her little granddaughter...

The artist/designer Pauline Baynes, the woman behind the original illustrations for Lord of the Rings trilogy and CS Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia died last week aged 85. The Guardian and UK Independent both have extensive obituaries.
Apparently she was working on 40 illustrations for a new edition of Aesop’s Fables which will hopefully be published next year.
