It was a successful night for the Irish at the Golden Globes Film and Television Awards, with Saorise Ronan and Martin McDonagh both celebrating incredible wins.

Saoirse, who was nominated on two previous occasions, took home the award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her performance in the critically acclaimed coming-of-age story, Lady Bird.

Written and directed by the tremendously talented Greta Gerwig, Lady Bird also scooped the award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.

Accepting her award, Saorise made sure to give a shout out to her mother who was watching her daughter from Ireland via FaceTime.

"My mam is on FaceTime over there on someone’s phone right now, so hi," she began as she took to the stage. "I have no time at all to say thank you, but I just want to say how inspirational it’s been to be here in this room tonight. I’m here with my best friend Eileen,” she said in an emotional speech.

"All of the women who I love so much in my own life who support me every single day – my mother, who’s on FaceTime. Margot, all of my friends and family and actually everyone in this room."

Irish talent continued to dominate the stage with Martin McDonagh's Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, proving to be the biggest winner of the night.

Born to Irish parents in London, the writer/ director is no stranger to the red carpet, having previously won awards for his work on dark comedy In Bruges and live action short Six Shooter.

Nominated in six categories, Three Billboards won four titles including Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Supporting Actor (Sam Rockwell), Best Screenplay – Motion Picture, and Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama (Frances McDormand).
