The crew from Ireland's only Oscar nominated film can't make it to the Oscars this weekend due to restrictions.

So Hollywood is coming to them!

Wolfwalkers which is set in Kilkenny is up for best animation film at the ceremony in LA on Sunday.

A live link will be set up outside Kilkenny Castle for the awards.

Oscars Broadcast To Be In The Middle Of The Night

Paul Young's the Producer of Wolfwalkers and co-founder of Cartoon Saloon.

He says they'll have to stay away until 3am:

"We'll be at the River Court Hotel, which is across the road from the Castle."

"So we'll be sitting there, outside, in the middle of the night."

He says those involved are due to receive Covid tests that they're to use on themselves.

"It'll be like an outside broadcast for television, we'll be sitting there with the Castle in the background."
