ACADEMY Awards buzz is hotting up at Harbour Lights now the nominees have been announced this week.

The art house cinema, at Ocean Village, will be showing a host of great Oscar contenders right up until Hollywood’s glitziest night of the year.

To celebrate, the Daily Echo has teamed up with Harbour Lights to give one film fan a membership of the cinema each week during Oscar season.

The lucky winner will be able to watch all the hotly-tipped films for free, including Jackie, which has seen Natalie Portman nominated for a Best Actress gong.

Journalist Theodore H White (Billy Crudup) visits the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, a few days after the assassination to interview Jackie (Natalie Portman). From the outset, Jackie attempts to gain a semblance of control she never had in the White House. "You understand that I will be editing this conversation?" she tells Theodore. "Just in case I don't say exactly what I mean." Gradually, she relates her version of events, including the blood-spattered rush to hospital where she is joined by Jack's brother Bobby (Peter Sarsgaard) and her social secretary, Nancy Tuckerman (Greta Gerwig). While Jackie and the rest of the world mourn her beloved Jack (Caspar Phillipson), Lyndon B Johnson (John Carroll Lynch) is hurriedly sworn in as President aboard Air Force One in front of his wife Lady Bird (Beth Grant) and aide Jack Valenti (Max Casella). "A First Lady must always be ready to pack her suitcases. It's inevitable," Jackie laments. Larrain's film is a mesmerising kaleidoscope of real and imagined details, galvanised by Portman's haunting embodiment of a widow in emotional isolation.

A membership entitles the bearer to free film tickets, discounts on all tickets, priority booking for the hottest tickets and ten per cent off food and drinks.

Harbour Lights enjoys free parking and is fully open to film fans, despite the ongoing building work at Ocean Village.
