Got a transcript - thought it wasnt Cat Deeley. SamueLs ans was even better

In a recent Samuel L. Jackson interview with Kate Thornton on British TV about his new movie SWAT the following convo took place

Kate: What's it like working with Colin Farrell, cause he is just so hot in the UK right now

Samuel: He's pretty hot in the US too

Kate: Yea, but he's one of our own!

Samuel: Isn't he from Ireland?

Kate: Yea but we claim him because Ireland is beside us

Samuel: Ya see that's your problem right there. You British keep claiming people that don't belong to you. We had that problem in America too – it was called slavery

Awards list calls Irish stars British

Two Irish stars have been bizarrely nominated in the British acting categories for the London Film Critics' Circle Awards.

'The Lovely Bones' star Saoirse Ronan, born in New York and raised in Carlow, is shortlisted in the Young British Performer of the Year category.

The German-born and Kerry-raised actor Michael Fassbender is also nominated in the Best British Actor in a Supporting Role category for his performance in 'Fish Tank'.

Joining Ronan on the Young Performer shortlist are: Katie Jarvis ('Fish Tank'), Aaron Johnson ('Nowhere Boy' and 'Dummy'), George MacKay ('The Boys Are Back') and Bill Milner ('Is Anybody There?' and 'Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll').

Joining Fassbender on the Supporting Actor shortlist are: John Hurt ('44 Inch Chest'), Jason Isaacs ('Good'), Alfred Molina ('An Education') and Timothy Spall ('The Damned United').

There are no international categories for Young Performer of the Year or Supporting Actor at the awards.

The winners will be announced on 18 February 2010.

Oh the irony! "born in New York" and "German-born" yet they are "Two Irish stars".

Fair enough Leenie. Maybe that's along the same line of thinking by the London Film Critics' Circle.

One of them would be the messiah.

Saoirse Ronan and Michael Fassbender are a fair swap for Andy Townsend, Ray Houghton, Tony Cascarino etc.

[rosnarun]

Same with David Coulthard was the same, British when he won otherwise he was just a Scot...

not quiet the same , when brave heart does some thing about it it might be the same
