How to Watch ‘Belfast’ and Hear Jamie Dornan’s Sweet Serenade
· CosmopolitanIt’s finally time for the best season of the year. No, we’re not talking about summer, we’re talking about awards season. It’s been a great year for entertainment with the film industry’s post-pandemic comeback, and a lot of this year’s most anticipated releases did not disappoint. In fact, some have big Oscar buzz, including Belfast, which is nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Sound, and Best Original Screenplay.
The movie is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story written and directed by none other than Kenneth Branagh. It follows a young boy growing up in Northern Ireland in the late ’60s, at the start of what is now called the Troubles—an ethno-nationalist conflict that went on for 30 years. The protagonist boy, played by newcomer Jude Hill, and his family navigate living through divisive times while trying to stay together. The film also stars Jamie Dornan, Caitríona Balfe, Judi Dench, Ciarán Hinds, and Colin Morgan.

Critics are already calling it the Oscars front-runner, and it’s already won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s generated a lot of interest because of its cast (and there’s also the fact that Fifty Shades of Grey actor Jamie gets to show off his singing chops in the film).
