    Saoirse Ronan Talks ‘Blitz’ and Awards Season Fun with Timothée Chalamet

    This week on the Awards Tour podcast, our host Jacqueline Coley sits down with the four-time Academy Award nominated actor Saoirse Ronan, who, at just 30 years of age, has already become a frequent face at awards shows and tops the call sheet for some of the most captivating and impactful films of the past 20 years. After her impressive Oscar-nominated start in Joe Wright's ‘Atonement,’ the Irish actress has since gone on to work with some of the most eclectic filmmakers, including Greta Gerwig, Peter Jackson, and Wes Anderson. This time, we're sitting down with Ronan to chat about the two Oscar-hopeful performances she has in contention this year. In the Sundance favorite ‘The Outrun,’ which she also produced, she plays a young writer in a battle against alcohol addiction, trying to turn her life around. In ‘Blitz,’ she plays the mother to a young mixed-race boy on an odyssey-like adventure, trying to find his way back to her after he is shipped away at the height of the London Blitz during World War II. Directed by Oscar winner Steve McQueen, ‘Blitz’ finds Ronan in familiar and unfamiliar territory; familiar as she's receiving rave reviews for her dynamic performance, and unfamiliar as she, for the first time in her career, plays a mother desperate to find her son. In our chat, Ronan talked about how she approached her first “mom” turn after years of work as a child actress. We also spoke about what it's like venturing into award seasons with many of her filmmaker friends expecting to join her, and if she may step into the director’s chair sometime soon. Continue to listen to our conversation with Saoirse Ronan, and we'll see you at our next stop on the Awards Tour.
