It has been announced that Saoirse will receive the “International Star Award” for “Brooklyn“ at the 27th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival!
Whether or not Saoirse Ronan wins the Best Actress Oscar for her turn in “Brooklyn,” she’ll at least have one award under her belt, thanks to the 27th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival. Organizers have announced that the 21-year-old actress will be honored with the International Star Award at its annual Awards Gala on Saturday, January 2. The International Star Award recognizes an actor or actress who has achieved both critical and commercial recognition across the globe throughout their body of work.
“From her unforgettable roles in ‘Atonement,’ ‘The Lovely Bones,’ ‘Hanna’ and ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel,’ we have seen Saoirse Ronan grow from a young girl to the accomplished actress she is today,” said Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. “In John Crowley’s new film ‘Brooklyn,’ Ronan gives a mesmerizing performance as a young woman from Ireland who is offered the chance of a new life in New York. In this role, Ronan embodies the grace and depth of a classic Hollywood screen star.”

She is only 21 but Saoirse Ronan is tipped to earn her second Oscar nomination for her role in the tearjerker Brooklyn. It is her most personal role yet and the Irish-American actress struggles with tears as she talks about the film festival favourite.
“It’s been amazing to see the reaction,” says Ronan.
The film was first screened to rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival in January and most recently at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
“Every festival we’ve gone to… you’re on edge because you think ‘Oh god is the reaction going to be as strong as it was the first time?’ or will that have died down or worn off and it just didn’t, it just got better and better.”
She stars in Brooklyn as Eilis Lacey, a young woman from rural Ireland in the 1950s, who has to leave her home to find job opportunities and a future in the US.
The film has been adapted from Colm Toibin’s New York Times Bestseller by Nick Hornby, who was nominated for an Oscar for his screenplay for An Education.
Many audience members have been in tears, including Ronan herself.
“Oh yes, I wept within the first five minutes,” she says. Continue reading
