Irish stars Jessie Buckley and Ruth Negga have been shortlisted for the Film Independent Spirit Awards in the US.
Killarney's Buckley is nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her performance in the Elena Ferrante adaptation The Lost Daughter.
Ethiopian-Irish actress Negga is also nominated in the same category for her work in the racial drama Passing.
The Lost Daughter opens in cinemas on 17 December and is on Netflix from 31 December.
Passing is currently streaming on Netflix.
The Film Independent Spirit Awards only consider low- and mid-budget films.
Road movie Zola leads the 2022 shortlist with seven nominations.
The awards are an important early marker for indie Oscar contenders. Only films made for less than $22.5 million can compete.
The awards are typically held the day before the Academy Awards, although the delay to the Oscars this year means indie stars will gather at a beach outside Los Angeles three weeks earlier, on 6 March.
That means the winners will be revealed before voting has ended for the Oscars, which will take place on 27 March.
Like many Hollywood ceremonies, last year's Spirit Awards were forced online by the pandemic. A virtual ceremony also honoured indie television for the first time.
