Will Jessie Buckley's winning streak continue at the Oscars?

After winning a Golden Globe and a Bafta already this year, Jessie Buckley continued her success at the Actor Awards on Sunday.

But will her winning streak continue at the Oscars later this month?

The Irish actress' recent roles range from William Shakespeare's wife, Agnes, in Hamnet, to Sally Bowles in the musical Cabaret, on London's West End.

Her latest success at the Actor Awards saw her named best actress for her role in Hamnet.

The awards ceremony, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, celebrates the year's best on-screen performances in TV and film.

Accepting the award, Buckley said: "Wow. I want to like take a minute to see all these incredible, inspiring faces and souls in front of me.

"I have been categorically changed by so many people in this room and beyond."

She paid tribute to her Hamnet co-star, Emily Watson, saying: "I'd like to say a special thank you to my incredible friend and date tonight, Emily Watson.

"Breaking The Waves made me whisper to myself 'That is what I want to do'.

"To share those scenes with you in Hamnet, I will cherish that for the rest of my life."

"I love and cherish being part of this community. I hope that I can continue to offer something meaningful back," she added.

Based on Maggie O'Farrell's award-winning novel, Hamnet is a fictional account exploring the lives of William Shakespeare, his wife Agnes and their family.

It portrays the death of the couple's son Hamnet, and explores how it may have influenced Shakespeare's theatrical masterpiece, Hamlet.

It received six Golden Globe nominations and won two, including best film.

As well as Buckley's BAFTA win, the film also won the BAFTA for outstanding British film.

O'Farrell was born in Coleraine, County Londonderry, to Irish parents, but grew up in Wales and Scotland.

Buckley, who grew up in Killarney, County Kerry, has been working in film and theatre for almost two decades, and is known for her musical talents as well as her acting ability.

She is a former pupil of the Royal Irish Academy of Music (RIAM) in Dublin, where she studied singing, piano, clarinet, saxophone and the harp.

As a young girl, Buckley was chosen out of about 40,000 performers to receive RIAM's nationwide High Achiever award in 2001.

She was just 17 when she auditioned for the BBC TV show I'd Do Anything, about the search for an actress to play Nancy in a West End production of Oliver!

After being a runner-up in the competition, she turned down the offer to be Nancy's understudy and pursued her own role on the London stage.

She secured a role in Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music at the Menier Chocolate Factory theatre.

Buckley then enrolled in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada) in London, graduating with a degree in acting in 2013.
