These are the Irish stars who have been nominated for Golden Globes

Saoirse Ronan and Michael Fassbender are leading the Irish charge for this year’s Golden Globes.

Both are nominated in the acting categories: Ronan for her work in Brooklyn and Fassbender for his leading role in Steve Jobs.

And further good news for Irish hopes comes with a nod for writer Emma Donoghue, who is nominated for best screenplay for Room, an adaptation of her novel of the same name. The film is also nominated for best motion picture.
