Hamnet star leads the pack in race for awards alongside Marty Supreme actor Timothée Chalamet

- Lily Isaacs

Hollywood loves a victorious underdog narrative and Jessie Buckley, the actor from Killarney in County Kerry, looks set to come up with the goods at the 83rd Golden Globes tonight.

After her best actress award at the US Critics' Choice awards last week, UK bookmakers make her the Globes favourite in the same category for her performance in Hamnet. She plays William Shakespeare's wife in Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel about the death of the Bard’s beloved son.
