Kerry Condon beat stiff competition in Carey Mulligan for her role in She Said, Dolly De Leon for Triangle of Sadness, Angela Bassett in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Jamie Lee Curtis in Everything Everywhere all at Once to win best actress in a supporting role.
Oscar-winning deaf actor Troy Kotsur presented the supporting actress award after a miscommunication – but the moment wasn't aired on TV.
The winner was first announced as Carey Mulligan before Troy's translator made a correction and Kerry was given the award.
On stage, Kerry said: “Thank you Martin (McDonagh) for this part, and thank you for all the parts you gave me throughout my career. You make me so proud to be an Irish woman.”

“I'm so shocked I can’t believe I won. I’ll be looking at this for the rest of my life.”

“It certainly sent a few people into a panic behind the scene,” the insider tells the Mirror.
“Thank god it wasn’t live and they have the chance to edit out awkward reactions on the audience before coverage began at 7pm.”
The moment wasn't aired in the televised version of the glittering ceremony and instead cut to Kerry taking to the stage to pick up her award.
