Have you seen Brooklyn? Saoirse Ronan’s just been nominated for an Oscar for it, and if you haven’t seen it, you should go NOW. It’s also been nominated for Best Picture..

You’ll need tissues, because this girl’s face is so expressive that you’ll be bawling before she even says a word. I really hope she wins the Oscar, because she deserves to. It’s a truly gifted performance.

A few months ago I interviewed Brooklyn’s director John Crowley. He’s from Cork, obviously. We discussed Saoirse’s Oscar hopes, among other things.

Listen back to the interview here.
