"I have been lucky enough to work there and visit and travel and get to know the people and the culture," said Abrams. "You can't go to Ireland and not fall in love with it.""This is a huge year," said Oscar nominee Colm Bairéad. His film, "An Cailín Ciúin," or 'The Quiet Girl,' is nominated for Best International Feature Film. It's also making Oscar history.
Of the 14 nominations with Irish connections, there are big blockbusters like "Avatar: The Way of Water." "There is also a casualness to this party," said Baneham. "There is a friendly camaraderie to it that's really nice. It's great to hang out and see everybody and catch up."
