Tuesday 17 January 2006
He won in the Best Actor in a Mini-Series or Film Made for Television category for his performance in 'Elvis'.
Speaking to RTÉ's 'Morning Ireland' about his victory, Rhys Meyers said that he was shocked to win the award.
"You kind of dream that you'll win but you never think it will become a reality," he said.
The 28-year-old saw off the challenge of Belfast born actor Kenneth Branagh, Ed Harris, Bill Nighy and Donald Sutherland to win the award.
Speaking about his chances of being nominated for an Oscar, Rhys Meyers said: "There is a good chance, with 'Match Point' getting so much attention, that I might get a nod for that. But you never know, it's a very tough category."
Rhys Meyers was previously nominated for an Emmy award and won a Satellite award for his performance in 'Elvis'.

- Golf: PGA Championship
Golf is one sport that looks amazing on TV, so here's another treat for couch potatoes. Hazel Irvine presents live coverage of the fourth and final round at Wentworth. Last year's final day culminated in a dramatic play-off between Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, and it was the former who emerged victorious to take the world number one spot off his compatriot. With so many Europeans dominating the top of the World rankings, viewers can expect a tight contest (and maybe an Irish win).
