Ah lads... Irish Oscar nominees are STILL being claimed as British
THE IRISH HAVE completely owned the Oscar nominations this year.
It was announced earlier this afternoon that Saoirse Ronan, Michael Fassbender, Lenny Abrahamson, and Emma Donoghue have all secured a nod.
With that, came the predictable act of media claiming them as British.
OH THIS AGAIN, you cry
YES, AGAIN
OMGG AGAIN
How can we stop this from happening?
First, it was this Metro.co.uk article of the British nominees.
