After landing noms for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay this year for Belfast (he was also nominated for Best Director), Branagh became the first person to be nominated for seven different individual Oscar categories in total over his career.
Honestly so happy and so, so proud of Kenneth Branagh. He brought to life a character that means a lot to me personally, he has inspired me to challenge myself creatively. Belfast deserves all the recognition it’s received, and his Oscar win is just as deserved, too.
