TWO films partly filmed in County Wicklow are in the running to receive
Academy Awards.
'Albert Nobbs', which was filmed over seven weeks in Wicklow and Dublin in 2010, stars Glenn Close and has received three nominations - best actress for Close, best supporting actress for Janet Mcteer, and best makeup.
The film is set in 19th century Ireland and also stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Brendan Gleeson and Maria DoyleKennedy.
63-year-old Close plays woman who passes as a man to work and survive in Dublin in 1898
Meanwhile, 11-minute long 'Pentecost' is in the live action short category. It was also filmed in Dublin as well as on location in Glencree.
The film is set in 1977 when 11-year-old Damian Lynch is called in at the last moment to serve as an altar boy at an important mass in his local parish.
Pentecost was written and directed by Peter Mcdonald and made by Dublin's Emu productions.
