VIDEO: Dubliner Benjamin Cleary bags the Oscar for ‘Stutterer’

It took Leonardo DiCaprio 25 years to bag an Oscar. Benjamin Cleary got there in one, while Brooklyn star Saoirse Ronan is almost a veteran of the Academy Awards now, although she still awaits that golden moment.

Ronan missed out to Brie Larson in the best actress category, but the 21-year-old showed her roots in her dress choice.

“I wore green at my first Oscars as well. I wanted to wear green because I’m very proud to be Irish and Calvin Klein made this for me.”
