The Kerrywoman picked up the best actress prize for her portrayal of William Shakespeare's wife Agnes/Anne Hathaway in the big-screen adaptation of a book about the death of their son, which inspired the playwright's Hamlet.

Buckley's performance in Hamnet has already earned her a win at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards and she is seen as a contender for an Oscars nod.

Now the convent school in Thurles that Buckley attended for five years has hailed her latest achievement.
