Farrell was nominated for Best Actor for his role as Pádraic Súilleabháin in The Banshees of Inisherin and he added some extra Irish flavour to his outfit with a badge of the country’s tricolour flag on his lapel.

Farrell was up against He is up against Austin Butler in Elvis, Brendan Fraser in The Whale, Paul Mescal in Aftersun and Bill Nighy in Living for the Best Actor Academy Award.

During the ceremony, Farrell appeared to call out Saturday Night Live, with host Jimmy Kimmel saying that a fan had written in to say that they loved his performance in the film but were unable to understand what he said in it.

The actor replied: “Watch SNL from last night.”
