LOS ANGELES — In a shocking revelation that has left the entertainment community reeling, the US-Ireland Alliance has announced that Domhnall Gleeson—a man previously believed to be a myth invented by the Irish film board to secure tax incentives—will finally receive his first Hollywood award, the prestigious Oscar Wilde Award, for his ability to convincingly portray literally anyone, anywhere, at any time.
The news has caused confusion and mild hysteria among moviegoers. “Wait, I’m sorry, you mean Domhnall Gleeson hasn’t already won, like, everything?” asked baffled fan Sorcha O’Leary. “I thought he was at least nominated for Best Supporting Everything last year.”
Gleeson, whose filmography includes roles as a murderous A.I. coder, deeply relatable cardigan-wearer, and the only Star Wars villain whose hair could win its own Golden Globe, is being recognized for a body of work so varied that even he struggles to keep track. “At this point, I’m not sure if I actually played a psychotic warlord or just dreamt about it during press junkets,” Gleeson allegedly mused during a press conference held in a room decorated exclusively with green velvet.
Industry analysts are calling the award ‘long overdue,’ with US-Ireland Alliance chair Emer O’Neill stating, “We realized it was time when we discovered Domhnall had been quietly understudying Meryl Streep for the past decade.”
Gleeson’s peers are offering congratulations, thinly veiled with envy. “He’s played every single male archetype conceivable, plus a couple of sentient trees, and I still haven’t even been cast as a disgruntled barista,” complained rival actor Finn McDougal.
The Oscar Wilde Award will be presented to Gleeson in March, provided casting directors don’t accidentally cast him as the presenter before then.
