THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: The American-born Irish actress, who was Oscar-nominated at age 13, is back in the running at 21 for her moving portrayal of a young woman caught between two countries and two young men.
“I would never change my name,” says Saoirse Ronan, the 21-year-old currently garnering best actress Oscar buzz for her performance as a young Irishwoman caught between two countries and two young men in John Crowley‘s Brooklyn. She’s already been nominated for Golden Globe, SAG and Critics’ Choice awards as we sit down to record an episode of ‘Awards Chatter.’ “When I was a child and nobody else was called Saoirse — for the record, it’s ‘Sir-shuh’ like inertia, although people in Ireland actually pronounce it ‘Seer-shuh,’ so take your pick — I thought, ‘Oh, I’d like a normal name,’ just because I was a kid. But the older I got, I decided I was never gonna change anything for anyone.”
