‘Belfast’s Caitríona Balfe On Jamie Dornan & Ciarán Hinds SAG Snubs: “They Should Have Been Nominated”; ‘Outlander’ Season 7 May Not Be The End
12.01.2022 - 22:37 / deadline.com
Having received a SAG nomination for her performance as ‘Ma’ in Kenneth Branagh’s childhood memoir film Belfast, Caitríona Balfe said she had been texting with co-star Jamie Dornan, who she said was “super excited” for both her and for their nomination as an ensemble cast.
However, Balfe admitted to feeling some disappointment that Dornan, who played ‘Pa’, and Ciarán Hinds, who played ‘Pop’, were not nominated individually. “I thought they had such a good chance,” she said. “I feel like they should have been nominated, but we’re all just really excited about the ensemble.”
Belfast follows the story of Branagh’s own upbringing in the Irish city as the Troubles began and a great divide erupted between Protestants and Catholics. Balfe, Dornan and Hinds are joined by schoolboy breakout Jude Hill as a young version of Branagh, while Judi Dench stars as ‘Granny’.
Balfe said she was excited for what might emerge next for her on the big screen following Belfast. “I think with anything like this, you just want an opportunity to be put on the list for other stuff, right? I’ve been so lucky thus far in my career and I think it’s ben such an amazing thing I’ve had with Outlander, but obviously it’s nice to get to do these great films too and there’s such competition out there for these great film roles, I think nowadays especially, as less and less films are getting made. So I think anything that can put you in front of other people and give you more opportunity is amazing.”
The sixth season of Outlander, Starz’s hit series, in which Balfe stars as Claire, opposite Sam Heughan as husband Jamie, will premiere March 6, with a seventh season planned to follow.
So will Season 7 be the last? “I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Balfe said.
