Jessie Buckley’s Beautiful Homage to Mothers

As she accepted her Oscar for best actress — the first for Ireland — Hamnet star Jessie Buckley on Sunday night didn’t make a land acknowledgement, or shout “ICE out,” or complain about female disadvantage in the film industry.

“To understand the capacity of a mother’s love is the greatest collision of my life,” Buckley said. “I would like to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a mother’s heart.”
