There was no luck for Irish acting nominees Saoirse Ronan, Michael Fassbender and Caitriona Balfe at the Golden Globes in the US on Sunday night, but Brie Larson won Best Actress for her performance in the Irish co-production Room.
Brie Larson thanked Room's director, Dubliner Lenny Abrahamson, and Irish producer Ed Guiney during her acceptance speech.
Carlow actress Saoirse Ronan had been nominated in the Best Actress category for her role in Brooklyn.
Room's author Emma Donoghue had been nominated for Best Screenplay but lost out to Aaron Sorkin for Steve Jobs. Room had also been nominated for Best Picture.
