Congratulations to Irish actors Colin Farrell and Gabriel Byrne who both won Golden Globe awards this evening.


Colin Farrell picked up his award for recent movie in “Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture”, during his acceptance speech Farrell poked fun at HBO movie ‘Recount’. A film that chronicled the Bush Vs Gore election of 2000. The movie about two Irish gangsters on the run in Belgium raised eyebrows when it managed to bag two Golden Globe nominations for stars Farrell and Brendan Gleeson (who lost to Farrell).
