    You'd think she'd have learned her lesson after the Samuel L. Jackson interview! :p

    Sure on the "Brit Hopefuls" bit that they did on Sky, the first person to pop up was Soairse Ronan. Muppets.

    On the issue of Daniel Day-Lewis, he's English but he lives here and has Irish citizenship. So I guess our claiming him is slightly more justified than the carry on the British press :)

    Here's two quotes from IMDB.com,

    "I've managed to create a sense of banishment in so many different areas of my life. I live in Ireland, not England. I make films in America. And now I'm banished from the theater because I've slagged it off so much. And I did the unspeakable thing of fleeing from 'Hamlet.'"

    "(on obtaining Irish citizenship) I dare say it was still considered to be an abandonment of England A betrayal! A heresy! It is not expected that someone from my background will leave England. But I've committed so many heresies that there's no sense in not making the final gesture."

    He has dual citizenship and born in London, so it could also be agued that they have every right to call him English. But who cares.
