Congrats to Cork actors Cillian Murphy and Johnathan Rhys Meyers who received Golden Globe nominations today. Murphy - who's married to the daughter of my local TD! - was recognised for his extraordinary performance as transexual Kitten Braden in Neil Jordan's superb new movie Breakfast on Pluto.
Rhys Meyers was nominated for his title performance in the TV movie Elvis. He's also extremely good in Woody Allen's Match Point, which is slowly building up huge acclaim.
Murphy is going head to head with Pierce Brosnan, who's in contention for his role in The Matador. I'm a tad reluctant to call Brosnan fully-fledged Irish. Have you seen the movie Evelyn? The man had to put on a (dreadful) Irish accent in it!
