BAFTA winner Kerry Condon is The Banshee of Inisherin's secret MVP (British GQ)

Martin McDonagh's tragicomic bromance drama, The Banshees of Inisherin, got quite the boost en route to the Oscars on Sunday, picking up four major awards ...

On a dramatic level, Siobhán is representative not only of Colm's desire for autonomy but the stranglehold of Inisherin, that which at the point we enter McDonagh's drama has become too much for everyone — well, except for Pádraic, caught in the crossfire of his loved ones' existential malaise. [Banshees of Inisherin](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fashion/article/banshees-of-inisherin-costume-designer-interview-knitwear-2022) is a deeply sad film: for all of the security that we allow ourselves to fall into, the brittle reality of human relationships is that they can fail at any time, and for no real reason. Siobhán is fiercely loyal to her brother, for all of his foibles, but yearns for something more than the banal routine that the island offers — essentially just going to the pub, chatting with the local hag, and reading her In the meantime, Colm is chopping off his stubby fingers with a rusty set of shears and Pádraic is spiralling even further into lonely despondency, Siobhán the perpetual afterthought. [The Banshees of Inisherin](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/banshees-of-inisherin-male-friendship), got quite the boost en route to the Oscars on Sunday, picking up four major awards including Outstanding British Film at the BAFTAs, beating out critics' faves like Aftersun and Living. If Condon — and indeed her co-star Barry Keoghan, who interrupted the hitherto dominance of Everything, Everywhere All at Once star Ke Huy Quan in Supporting Actor — was going to take an award, the home turf of the BAFTAs always seemed most likely.

Secrets of the Stylish: getting ready for the BAFTAs with Kerry Condon (harpersbazaar.com)

I love the whole man-repeller way of dressing – I'm wearing what I want and I don't care if you like it. I'm going back to what I used to wear when I was a teenager and I innately had pretty good style, I just lacked the confidence back then. That doesn't mean you have to be always dressed as if you came straight off the runway, but if you look your best, you feel your best. People don't think about that; if you do then you're not a very nice person so I don't care what you think." I sometimes feel nervous talking about fashion, as a lot of people can't afford to shop from these brands and I don't want people to feel that if they don't have money, they can't look nice – because that's not true: jeans and a white t-shirt look good on everyone. I go very quiet and need people around me to be confident in their choices and decisions. I'm not a big shopper, so if I buy something, I buy it for life and I'll own it forever. I have a big love for the Nineties and early 2000s style, as that's when I would have been looking through magazines at all the actresses I admired. I loved the Kennedy look and what Cate Blanchett wore to her first Oscars, and her style early on in her career. Personally, I don't understand it – why would you want to spend your time commenting on a picture, saying that someone didn't look nice at an event? "To be honest, I dress depending on my hormones. "I decided on a beautiful Armani dress, partly as it fitted my personal taste so well; I really love it when simplicity is a little elevated.

BAFTA Mix-Up Sees Carey Mulligan's Name Read Instead of Kerry ... (Variety)

In an awkward mix-up, Carey Mulligan's name was accidentally read out as the winner for Best Supporting Actress instead of the actual winner, Kerry Condon, ...

“The whole thing was just like this black-out weird moment,” she said. As the camera panned to Kerry and showed some confused faces behind her, however, it was clear some in the audience were puzzled by what had just happened. It was her name that was displayed on the screen as winner, which is likely why co-star Colin Farrell encouraged her to go and collect the award.
