Irish representation at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards is looking promising, although perhaps not quite as dazzling as last year’s impressive showing.
While stars like Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan unfortunately missed out on nominations, the Irish contingent still boasts several strong contenders. Andrew Scott and Colin Farrell are neck-and-neck for Best Actor in a Limited TV Series, showcasing their talents in “Ripley” and “The Penguin” respectively.
Musical thriller “Emilia Pérez” leads the pack, snagging 10 nominations, followed closely by historical epic “The Brutalist” with seven.
### Standout Irish Performances
Cynthia Erivo earned a nod for her captivating portrayal of Elphaba in “Wicked,” while Ariana Grande is in the running for Best Supporting Actress.
The 82nd Golden Globes will be presented on January 5th in Los Angeles, broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
