Well.
He’s only been nominated for an Oscar!
In the live action short category for his directorial debut Pentecost.
The short, according to the LA Times, “tells the story of Damien Lynch, a young altar boy who is offered the chance to serve at an important Mass in his small town, his chance to redeem himself after his last turn as altar boy two weeks before, when he knocked Father O’Toole off the altar.”
It also stars the god-voiced Andrew Bennett:

Myself and my partner-in-crime Chris have started a new weekly piss-take show based around TV3’s new series Tallafornia.
Campaigners from the Jubilee Debt Campaign get their zombie on in support for Irish network Debt Justice Action outside the Irish Embassy in Grosvenor Place this morning – ahead of tomorrow’s €1.25 billion payment to unsecured Anglo bondholders.
Jubilee Debt Campaign is arguing for a ‘jubilee-style’ debt cancellation for Europe. Jubilee’s Nick Dearden sez:
“It is totally unjust to make Ireland’s people – especially the
poorest in that country – pay for the crimes of speculators and the banking elite.
A year ago George Osborne called Ireland a ‘friend in need’. We call on the British government to assure Ireland that they would not take punitive measures if the government halted payment on these unjust debts, and that the UK would assist in a fair write-down of
Ireland’s debt.”
