Saoirse Ronan On The Brooklyn Oscar Buzz

Brooklyn star Saoirse Ronan has said thinking about Oscar nominations would turn her into a "basketcase" after taking home the best actress award at the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA).

The actress plays a young Irish immigrant in the film and said the role marks a transition for her.

She beat Carey Mulligan, Marion Cotillard, Charlotte Rampling and Alicia Vikander to win the prize.

Asked how she felt about talk of her winning an Oscar nomination for the role, Ronan said: "You know obviously you're aware of  that kind of discussion but you can't think about it too much because you will become a basketcase so I'm trying not to think about that but it's still, it's lovely to be part of that whole discussion."

Kate Winslet who received the Variety Award for helping "to focus the international spotlight on the UK" said backstage after that she has learned the most about acting while working on the job with British talent and British technicians.

The Oscar-winning actress said that since her role in Titanic she has been very lucky.

"I was given opportunities to do some slightly smaller films which was perhaps unexpected at that time. I think it really sort of let people know that I was definitely going to be available to keep doing both hopefully and certainly you know, honouring my commitment to British film and doing smaller projects which is where I honestly have learned the most, you know, as an actor, you know, so much of what you do you do learn on the job and that's been very much the case for me working on independent film and particularly with British talent and British technicians so you know to be here tonight celebrating all of that really feels fantastic."

Chiwetel Ejiofor took home the The Richard Harris Award for outstanding contribution to British film.
