The nominees for the 95th Academy Awards were announced last week so it's the start to our annual Oscars profile! We'll kick off with Carter Burwell's nominated score to the film The Banshees of Inisherin as we mix the usual tributes and newish songs, though there'll be a spot of vintage Irish folk to further confuse the fields.
