The actor (36) picked up the prize for her turn as William Shakespeare\u2019s wife Agnes Hathaway \u2013 historically known as Anne \u2013 in the big-screen adaptation of Hamnet.<\/p>\n

The film, based on Maggie O\u2019Farrell\u2019s book about the death of Shakespeare\u2019s son, which inspired him to write Hamlet, was also named best motion picture drama.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a normal feeling or situation to be in,\u201d she said to the room of acting royalty, as she collected the award.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RT\u00c9 Radio 1\u2019s Morning Ireland, Radio Kerry presenter and Buckley\u2019s first cousin Brendan Fuller said family members and locals stayed up until 4am on Monday morning to celebrate her victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just still pinching myself; the town is pinching itself today because I suppose her talent is connecting, and moving and inspiring people all over the world, but she’s done that to Killarney town since 2008.\u201d<\/p>\n

Acknowledging Buckley\u2019s talent for pretending to be other people, Mr Fuller said it is \u201cincredible to see that she\u2019s even better at being herself through it all\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the Golden Globe nominations, through the Golden Globe wins as she goes up and gives an amazing speech and has that lovely, genuine laugh that’s so rare to be heard on a Hollywood stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s just incredible. We\u2019re just so proud of her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fiona Crowley, founder of the Fiona Crowley Stage School in Killarney, recalled Buckley\u2019s time performing on stage at the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re just absolutely thrilled here this morning. We were whooping from the early hours, just so delighted for Jessie.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, Jessie was part of our Stage School family, and we were very proud to have her, and her siblings all came to the Fiona Crowley Stage School.”<\/p>\n

Ms Crowley said that even back then, it was clear that Buckley \u201cstood out amongst people\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe had such a grace and humility always towards children, which was paramount for us in the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut even now, when you see her in the Golden Globes, she stands among those titans in the industry, and she holds her own.<\/p>\n

“When she got involved in Killarney Musical Society, which is a magnificent society here in Killarney, in the performance of Carousel, she actually won an award for that through Aims as well for being best actress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Crowley accompanied Buckley in 2008 when, as a 17-year-old, she performed in the talent show I\u2019d Do Anything on the BBC, hosted by Graham Norton.<\/p>\n

Buckley finished runner-up on the show, which was based around a search for an unknown talent to play Nancy in a West End performance of Oliver.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was only 17, we must remember that, she was a child, wasn’t even legally able to vote at that stage, and yet she was flying the flag for Ireland there,\u201d Ms Crowley said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
