SEVERAL IRISH ACTORS have received nominations in Hollywood’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Nicola Coughlan is in contention for Best Female Actor in a Drama Series for Bridgerton, while Colin Farrell and Andrew Scott have both been nominated for their roles in The Penguin and Ripley under the category for Best Male Actor in a TV movie or miniseries.
The awards – which had to cancel their announcement ceremony in Los Angeles due to blazing wildfires – see Irish interest strongest among the TV categories this year.
Coughlan is up for her role in Netflix’s period fantasy Bridgerton – it’s the Galway native first major acting nomination, having first come to wider attention thanks to her role in Derry Girls seven years ago.
Coughlan and her co-stars are also nominated in the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
Fresh off his Golden Globe win for The Penguin, Farrell has been nominated for his lead role in the same programme. His co-star Cristin Milioti has also gotten a nod in the Female Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries category.
And Andrew Scott has received another nomination for Ripley, the stylish Netflix thriller.
There was disappointment for Saoirse Ronan who missed out on a nomination in the best supporting actress category for her role in the World War II drama Blitz, directed by Steve McQueen.
Paul Mescal has also missed out on any nomination for his leading role in Gladiator II. Ridley Scott’s sequel doesn’t look set to repeat the awards success of the original , which was a heavy hitter at awards season after its release in 2000.
The awards take place on Sunday 23 February in Los Angeles and will be shown live on Netflix.
Among the other nominees, one of the big winners so far has been Wicked. The blockbuster adaptation of the Wizard of Oz-inspired musical got five overall nods, with individual acting nominations for Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey.
Demi Moore is continuing her late career renaissance with another nomination for The Substance, while Pamela Anderson is doing similar in one of her first major roles in years, for The Last Showgirl.

Well deserved. Great to see exciting Irish talent being recognised.
@Chutes Idiot: yes I feel mecal after gladiators which was a masterpiece. Hopefully he cleans up at the Oscar’s
@Lance Taylor: lol. Are you for real?? Gladiator 2 was a mess. A steaming pile of. And Mescal was completely miscast and anaemic in the role.
@Ted Daly: Costly for Scott to think Merck’s could carry the movie.
@Dr Albert S Meinheimer: Mescal
This is brilliant and well deserved. Sad the Irish have this begrudging issue with success, they will be on shortly no doubt. I am proud of our talent. Bouladh bos.
@Shelly Levine: Begrudging, hilarious. Funnily enough the Irish don’t like celebrities that don’t pay tax here telling is that we were proud of Fine Gael but continue ignoring the obvious if you wish.
@Shelly Levine: I think the opposite, we bang on about any Irish person who’s become even mildly successful for years and years.
Well done all, fantastic we deserved achievement. Being Frank, I’m personally NOT surprised Paul Meskal didn’t get the ‘nod’ for Gladiator 2….. I considered it a poor remake, very average fare
@Kevvy kerrr: ” well” deserved even!!
@Kevvy kerrr: Remake?
@Kevvy kerrr: Funny how ‘Chutes Idiot’ and ‘Kevvy kerrr’ misspell Mescal’s name the same way and have exactly the same voice.
@Brian D’Arcy: yes, Russell Crowe was in the original “gladiator” 20yrs back…… Far superior movie in my opinion
@Kevvy kerrr: So, how come ‘Kevvy’ and ‘Chutes’ misspell ‘Mescal’ the same way?
Busted yet again, but you’ll continue to brazen it out.
@Brendan O’Brien: You nailed him Brendan! Quick go tell your cats
@trolls R us : hi brenny…..you have 4 on here at once, busy boy!!!!! Now toddle along & get this deleted tout de suite ….. Nobody believes all your lies
@Brendan O’Brien: excellent work as always. Thanks Brendan. I’ll start donating to the journal again now as you keep it in tip top shape.
@Brendan O’Brien: relax, sweetheart
@Lance Taylor: Stop cloning other people’s profiles.
@Brendan O’Brien: Same voice. I don’t think I want to know how you found that out.
@Kevvy kerrr: I feel your pain my friend. he it them or whatever it identifies as will not be laughing soon. He has crossed the wrong guy and I am pissed off.
