The Carlow-raised actress got her first ever nomination at the tender age of 13, when she was nominated as Best Supporting Actress for her role as Briony Tallis in Atonement.
Back in 2008, RTÉ went down to her old school, Ardattin National School, and asked her former classmates what they thought of the big announcement.

Saoirse attended the school for nine years, leaving at 13 to, well, take over the acting world.
