Saoirse Ronan & Ed Westwick Step Out For BAFTA's Los Angeles Awards Season Tea
Saoirse Ronan hits the red carpet with Ed Westwick for the 2016 BAFTA Los Angeles Awards Season Tea held at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills on Saturday afternoon (January 9) in Los Angeles.
The 21-year-old Brooklyn actress was also joined at the event Revenant actor Will Poulter.
Just after the BAFTA nominations were announced this week, a Sky News anchor “claimed” Saoirse as British — and fans are not happy about it. Check out the tweets below!
“If we look at the leading actress category, I think we can take Saoirse Ronan as one of ours. She’s in Brooklyn. She’s nominated,” the reporter said.
The night before, Saoirse spoke on stage during the SAG-AFTRA Foundation conversations event at Zanuck Theater.
@SkyNews and @BAFTA Michael Fassbender and Saoirse Ronan are Irish. Do you need a map????
