Saoirse Ronan has spent much of her youth racking up Oscar nominations, scoring her first bid when she was 13 and her fourth when she was 25. Take a look back at 12 of her greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Ronan’s parents were both actors and she was born in The Bronx, New York while her father was studying acting there and working odd jobs. Her parents returned to their native Ireland when Saoirse was three, where she developed her signature accent. She began acting herself at the age of 9 on a few different Irish television programs. Although she missed out on a role in the Harry Potter films, she bounced back with a key part in the 2007 Best Picture contender “Atonement,” which brought her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.
She earned three Best Actress nominations for three films that all competed in Best Picture: “Brooklyn” (2015), “Lady Bird” (2017) and “Little Women...

“How to Get to Heaven From Belfast,” the new series from “Derry Girls” creator Lisa McGee, has moved to Netflix from Channel 4.
Produced by Hat Trick Productions, the comedy thriller will start shooting in Northern Ireland later this year.
The project was announced by Channel 4 in August 2023. In a statement to Variety, the network cited “changes in editorial direction” and “rising costs” as to why the series could no longer move forward there.
“We loved Lisa McGee’s ‘How to Get to Heaven From Belfast’ and offered a substantial license fee to be its U.K. home,” a Channel 4 spokesperson said. “Unfortunately due to changes in editorial direction as the development process progressed, coupled with rising costs and the recent cooling in the U.S. co-production market, it became impossible to get the right international partner and funding plan in place.

Battered by disappointing markets at Toronto and AFM, both of which were held under the shadow of the actors strike, buyers and sellers are looking to Berlin’s European Film Market (EFM), which runs Feb. 15-21, to re-energize the indie business. The outlook, coming out of Sundance, is good.
“The difference in Sundance from last year to this was extreme, there were a lot more deals being down, both by distributors and streamers,” says Janina Vislmaier, head of sales at Protagonist Pictures, which screened The Outrun with Saoirse Ronan and Sasquatch Sunset with Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg in Park City, both of which will screen at the EFM. “Everyone is really excited ahead of Berlin, especially because all the buyers are back, including from Asia, which is a really good sign.”

Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan were planned to have a cameo in the Barbie movie directed by Greta Gerwig. Although the stars were not able to make it work, the Wonka actor imagined what his appearance could’ve been like.

“We had a gay man who was helping us choreograph a sex scene between two women. And Kate and I went, ‘Well, we know more about that than you do.’ He was very good at taking a step back and allowing us to take the reins with those scenes in particular. It was fun!

Louis Garrel worked under the direction of Greta Gerwig in 2019’s Little Women and shared credits with many great actors, something that the French star was seemingly intimidated by initially.
The film adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott novel starred Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, James Norton, Chris Cooper, among others.
Garrel is recalling his time on the set of the Gerwig film and feeling stressed and telling The Independent, “I am the most anxious French guy you can meet. Believe me, I want to be more brave than I am. I am… what do you say? Effrayé they say in French… a scared guy.”
The actor said that it was his talented co-stars that added to his anxiety saying, “I was super stressed because I knew that all of the actors in it were better than me.

While Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women” earned rave reviews upon its initial release in 2019, nobody could have predicted how much foundation it would lay for the film zeitgeist of the 2020s. In addition to establishing Gerwig as a major studio filmmaker to watch, the film starred virtually all of today’s biggest independent film stars, from Florence Pugh to regular Gerwig collaborators Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet.
The ensemble of awards darlings and the natural chemistry that emerged between them fueled the film’s success, but it also intimidated some of the other cast members. In a new interview with The Independent, “Little Women” star Louis Garrel opened up about the anxiety that he often feels when working on large films.

“Barbie” is Greta Gerwig’s first film as a solo director without either Saoirse Ronan or Timothee Chalamet in the cast, but that doesn’t mean Gerwig didn’t try to find room for her beloved actors.
Speaking to CinemaBlend as part of the all-encompassing “Barbie” press tour, Gerwig revealed the “Lady Bird” and “Little Women” stars almost appeared in the forthcoming film in “specialty” cameos.
“Well, it was always going to have to be a sort of smaller thing because [Saoirse] was actually producing at the time, which I am so proud of her for. And of course, it’s brilliant. But it was going to be a specialty cameo,” Gerwig told CinemaBlend. “I was also going to do a specialty cameo with Timmy, and both of them couldn’t do it and I was so annoyed. But I love them so much.”
Gerwig added, “But I love them so much.

One topic of conversation you'll never hear Saoirse Ronan talking about is her love life. The actor, who won fans over in 2017's "Lady Bird" and again in 2019 in "Little Women, is very tight-lipped when it comes to disclosing details about her romantic relationships.
Of Ronan's suitors, only one has been confirmed - though, it wasn't her who spilled the tea. Ronan and fellow actor George MacKay reportedly started dating while filming their 2013 movie "How I Live Now." The film's director, Kevin Macdonald, confirmed that his two lead stars "fell in love" in a 2013 interview with the Irish Mirror. "What happened during the course of film, and I'm hoping that I'm not speaking out of turn, is that they fell in love and it was very easy," he said of Ronan and MacKay. "It was Saoirse's first proper boyfriend and, in a way, I think she was living...

The murder mystery is one of the most well-trodden genres across a variety of mediums, but the challenge of doing something new is what led Tom George to direct See How They Run. Written by Mark Chappell, the film’s own murder mystery begins on the London West End stage of another murder mystery, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap. The meta aspect of this ‘50s-set story not only includes Christie (Shirley Henderson) and Richard Attenborough (Harris Dickinson) as characters, but it also comments on the genre’s tropes throughout the film.
After the success of Rian Johnson’s Knives Out (2019) and the subsequent bidding war for its sequels, George is well aware that his film was greenlit thanks to the newfound appetite for original murder mysteries in the States.
“What Knives Out proved is that there’s an audience for an original murder mystery.

"See How They Run" is a whodunit about whodunits, a murder mystery movie about a murder behind the scenes of a murder mystery play. And that's just the beginning of the movie's meta touches, which involve fictional detectives trying to solve a fictional crime committed during the staging of a very real show — the adaptation of Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap," which is still running to this day in London's West End. And that's before you get to the inside jokes about William Shakespeare and Tom Stoppard.
But you don't need to be a theater nerd to enjoy the basic pleasures of "See How They Run," which understands that casting Sam Rockwell as a down-on-his-luck detective and Saoirse Ronan as his eager, inexperienced protege is a recipe for a good time. The movie's drawl wit and compelling characters do their fair share of the heavy lifting.

Yes, Saoirse Ronan was almost a Barbie girl in the cinematic Barbie world. The actress shared that she was set to have a cameo in Greta Gerwig's upcoming Barbie movie, which stars Margot Robbie as the titular character and Ryan Gosling as the infamous Ken. However, Saoirse's schedule—she began filming for the movie, The Outrun, in Scotland around the same time Greta's movie was shooting—was ultimately too busy for her live a life in plastic, after all. "I was supposed to do a cameo because I live in London and they were [filming] there," she told People in a story published Sept. 15. Referring to the concept of the iconic doll being played by multiple actresses in...

As he returns to Canada with the Backstreet Boys, Nick Carter’s teasing a “surprise” upcoming Canadian project, reminiscing about performing with Drake in Toronto and sending well-wishes to Shawn Mendes as the 24-year-old popstar tackles mental health challenges.
Mendes, who co-wrote the Backstreet Boys’ 2019 single “Chances,” recently cancelled his tour in order to deal with the mental struggles of being back on the road. Having been with the Backstreet Boys for 29 years, Carter knows all about the mental toll of touring and he’s currently working on launching a mental health initiative. While it’s primarily aimed at youth, the project’s also partially-inspired by Carter’s own strife navigating showbiz from a young age.
