SciFi Red Carpet: Mary McDonnell in Dublin
Mary McDonnell was in Dublin last week for the Irish Film and Television Awards, looking gorgeous as always in a multicolored gown and copper shawl. The awards were broadcast on the BBC.
Mary was asked to present at the awards due to her Irish roots, and was given the honor of presenting the award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture. Pat Shortt won the award for Garage. Shortt’s fellow nominees included Gabriel Byrne for Jindabyne, Colm Meaney in Kings, Hugh Conor in Speed Dating, and Cillian Murphy in Sunshine.
The evening suffered a scandal when the organizers completely forgot to hand out the Best Supporting Actress award during the evening. Apologies were issued later, but the damage was done.
Other stars at the event included Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Bo Derek, John Corbett, Rene Russo, Mel Gibson, MC Hammer, and Victoria Smurfit. The event was held at the Gaiety Theatre one week ago tonight.
