The Banshees of Inisherin

Jenny the donkey, beloved friend of Colin Farrell's Pádraic in 'Banshees of Inisherin,' just crashed the 2023 Oscars as the belle of the ball.

"This is Jenny, one of the stars of Banshees of Inisherin. "So, if you're feeling upset, or you didn't win, or you're anxious, or maybe you just love mules, feel free to come up and give her a hug." [Colin Farrell](https://ew.com/person/colin-farrell/) and [Brendan Gleeson](https://ew.com/person/brendan-gleeson/) — the latter of whom Kimmel introduced to Jenny as the man "whose finger you ate."

Jenny and Rosie the donkeys played the animal sidekick to Colin Farrell's Pádraic in The Banshees of Inisherin, which is up for nine Oscars tonight.

"It was just one of those – Kerry Condon and Carey Mulligan. "But I thought Carey Mulligan was incredibly gracious and handled it brilliantly. However, that award was announced by Troy Kotsur and his sign language interpreter, who mistakenly mistook Condon's name for Carey Mulligan's. ](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a42983620/banshees-of-inisherin-kerry-condon-bafta-error/) Rosie took everything in her stride and nothing fazed her." Jenny is the beloved sidekick to Farrell's Pádraic and acts as his companion when Gleeson's Colm ends their friendship.

"Not only is she an actor, she's a certified emotional support donkey—or at least that's what we told the airline to get her on the plane from Ireland," Kimmel quipped.

Jimmy Kimmel brought out a donkey bearing the same name as the four-legged break-out star of Martin McDonagh's dark comedy.

“She’s one of the stars of The Banshees Of Inisherin,” Kimmel said. The miniature donkey was the break-out star of Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy, which was nominated for a host of awards at the 95th Oscars on Sunday. Jimmy Kimmel was joined on stage at the Oscars by an “emotional support donkey” bearing the same name as the four-legged star of The Banshees of Inisherin.

Ironically, Jenny herself had an emotional support pal on the set of "Banshees of Inisherin." The actor, whose character Pádraic copes with his loneliness after a break-up with friend Colm (Brendan Gleeson) by spending time with Jenny, put his hand over his heart in obvious happiness when Jenny took to the stage. The donkey was apparently palpably nervous indoors, but relaxed when in the presence of another donkey named Rosie. While he joked that people could come up and pet her as an emotional support animal, the bit ended with just Jenny and Kimmel on stage. Jenny made her entrance decked out in a golden sign that labeled her as an emotional support animal, plus a stylish bell tied with a bright red ribbon to match her look in the movie. Like all the other Oscar nominees, though, Jenny got all dressed up to participate in the ceremony.

And, sure, it’s a bit of a nihilistic downer, but as McDonagh It’s the most nominated Irish film in Academy Award history, though the “Irishness” of the film will likely hang in contention. And somewhere along the way, McDonagh decided to give a character some shears and a burning desire to cut off his fingers. I think that’s enough— if you’re paying attention.” But such is good art.)
