Actor Mel Gibson Might Be a Good Person in Real Life, and Made Excellent Successes with America's "The Patriot," but Scottish Liberation's "Braveheart" Film Left the English-Speaking World WEAKENED with Nothing Left Practically of the English Empire, the British Empire that Invented Modern Democracy, Capitalism, Industrialism, and Commerce Starting in the USA and that Freed Jews and ALL of US from Nazi Germany, with Winston Churchill Almost Declaring "Operation Unthinkable," a Third World War Against the Communist Soviet Union, but Chose Peace through Capitalistic Trades with Russia with Leadership from Both Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, Now at the Mercy of Russia's Vladimir Putin and the Communist Chinese Empire! AND I am a Spanish Cuban American Born from New Jersey with Sacred Pure Cool Irish and Canadian Winds and April Showers in New Jersey Spring Time (which Could Give New Jersey BILLION$ of Dollars in Tourism Profits from Desert Land Arabians and Africans who are Barricaded by Terroristic Jewish Israeli Assaults with American-Made Weapons Upon Poor Palestinian Mothers, Children, the Elderly, and the Disabled Who Deserve the Peace of Cold Green Grass and Cloudy Rains from Canada, America's Northeast and Pacific Northwest, Ireland, Scotland, and Great Britain)! We MUST Cut Taxes and Invest in Forestations of the Deserts of Sahara in Africa, Palestine, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the Rest of the Middle East, as well as Desert Lands in Australia and China! The British Empire MUST Return - Not to Enslave - But to Liberate Latin American, African, Middle Eastern, and Asian Countries like Communist Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Burma, and China Alongside the United States into Capitalistic Democracies that Create Foods Businesses like McDonalds, Burger Kings, Wendy's, Whole Foods Markets, and Walmarts - Instead of a Divided Ireland, England and Scotland About to Get Invaded or Nuked! GOD BLESS THE IRISH, SCOTTISH AND ENGLISH, Our Heroes and Saviors! 🍟🍟🍟🛍️🛍️🛍️🎀🎀🎀🎉🎉🎉💵💵💵💰💰💰🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌏🌎🌍🌤️🪐✨

THE RETURN of the annual US-Ireland Alliance's Oscar Wilde Awards last night saw Jamie Dornan, Adam McKay, Kenneth Branagh and Dónall Ó Héalai all be recognised for their contributions to the American entertainment industries.

The Ebell of Los Angeles was the scene of the 16th annual awards last night, having moved there to allow for larger space and social distancing.

Writer of classic romantic comedies such as Notting Hill and Love Actually Richard Curtis present Jamie Dornan with his award, and joked that Dornan couldn’t possibly be a nice person because "in my experience, good looking people normally haven’t got much to recommend them."

Dornan spoke about how he had been asked a few times before to receive the award, but how he felt that he hadn't enough good work.

"Fourteen years ago, I saw some unbelievably worthy work when they used to show a reel, and I thought one day," he said.

But this year, he was disappointed because, "they didn’t do a f-ing reel." He then joked that he would instead have to act out his entire career for the audience, and pulled out a set of handcuffs, saying "I’ll start with something you’re familiar with."

Dornan said working on Belfast was "the greatest honour of my career." He also said he would "endeavour to tell stories from that complicated island as long as I’m allowed to" and "that if you’re lucky enough to be Irish, then you are lucky enough."

With Kenneth Branagh unable to attend the ceremony due to testing positive for Covid-19, a taped acceptance speech was played to those in attendance, which included his wife Lindsay Brunnock and several of his family and friends.

In honouring Branagh, JJ Abrams said he hoped the film would "remind everyone, particularly political leaders in London and Stormont, to deliver on the promise of the Good Friday Agreement so that any further immigration form Northern Ireland is a choice and not a necessity."

Branagh recalled what great fun the Oscar Wilde Awards are, having attended in 2012 to present to writer John Logan. In speaking about Belfast, he said there were only a few ways this 9-year-old boy "could see some light through the dark cloud that was the onset of the Troubles."

One light that was that of "the super bright light coming from the projection booth" at the local cinema that "threw out all those beams of dreams all the way from Hollywood."

"Another was the light in the eyes of those incredible wise warrior women, amazingly embodied by Caitríona Balfe in our film, who would step in front of any obstacles rather than see their family harmed," he said. "And, finally, the light that was the songs, the dances, the music, and the jokes. In short, the humanity, and the humor, that is part of the spirit of the Irish people."
