Saoirse Ronan Will Submit ‘Blitz’ for Supporting Actress, Will She Make Oscar History as Youngest Double Acting Nominee?
Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Saoirse Ronan is gearing up for a fierce Oscar season, with two performances poised to battle for the industry’s top honors. Variety confirms Ronan will compete in both the lead actress race for the Sundance hit “The Outrun” and supporting actress for her upcoming work in the World War II epic “Blitz” — potentially setting her up as a double acting nominee this awards season. If double-nominated, which is currently projected on Variety Awards Circuit’s predictions, she would be the 13th person and youngest actor to receive two acting nominations in the same year.
