Nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor (x2), Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Score, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing 
Colm (Brendan Gleeson) and Padraic (Colin Ferrell) were good friends, until Colm decides that he has moved past the limited engagement he was getting and would rather focus on his music and trying to create a legacy that lives on beyond him. Padraic takes this poorly. He continues to push Colm, demanding answers, violating boundaries, dragging the entire village into their friend-breakup.
Oh my Gooooooooood, if I heard the word "nice" one more fucking time in this film, I was going to put a brick through my TV. The only reason anyone gives a shit about this is because it's two dudes having a spat. If Colm was a woman, this would have been a Lifetime Original Movie about her rejecting a Nice Guy (TM) and him destroying her life with his obsessive bullshit.
Take it from someone who knows: sometimes you just grow apart. You don't owe anyone an explanation. Sometimes you might not even have an explanation. Who you choose to spend your time with is your business.
This movie deserves nothing. Damn sure not Best Picture or Best Director. Colin Ferrell did a better job in The Batman than here. I would give Gleeson an edge over Barry Keoghan but neither of them deserve it more than Ke Huy Quan. Kerry Condon was legitimately good but she's running in 3rd right now behind Angela Bassett and Stephanie Hsu. I don't know about Score yet but 1000% no on Original Screenplay because see above Lifetime Original Movie, and Editing was nothing to write home about.
Banshees of Inisherin is streaming on HBO Max but it's not worth it.
