It's a trifecta of Irish talent in the Best Actor in a Drama category.
The 2024 Golden Globe nominations have been released, and Irish actors dominated the Best Actor nominations.
The category for Best Actor in a Drama Motion Picture was a standout for Irish talent: Cillian Murphy was nominated for his lead performance in Christopher Nolan's atomic epic Oppenheimer, in which he played the titular physicist.
Andrew Scott was also nominated for his performance in All of Us Strangers also starring Paul Mescal, and Barry Keoghan was nominated for his lead role in Emerald Fennell's Saltburn.
All three actors are also tipped for nominations at next year's Academy Awards, for which the nominations will be announced in January.
Oppenheimer scored a massive eight nominations including Murphy's, also bagging noms for Best Drama Motion Picture, Best Directing, Best Score, and Best Screenplay among others.
