Buckley’s first cousin Brendan Fuller was among her family members who stayed up late to see her collect her award on TV. <\/p>\n

He told BBC News NI that witnessing her “mentioned in the same category as Julia Roberts” made him realise how far she had come. <\/p>\n

“I remember watching Ocean’s Twelve with Jessie when I was 12,” Fuller recalled.<\/p>\n

“And seeing her then being nominated in the same category, and then winning the category ahead of a Hollywood icon… we’re just so, so proud of her.”<\/p>\n

As a schoolgirl, Buckley performed in stage productions at Ursuline Secondary School in Thurles, County Tipperary. <\/p>\n

“From the moment she took to the stage in the school hall here in the Ursuline, it was clear Jessie had a special talent,” the school said in a statement on Monday, external<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“It is an inspiration for Ursuline students to see one of their own recognised on the global stage.”<\/p>\n

Teachers at RIAM in Dublin are also “very proud” of their former pupil, according to the academy’s head of artistic programming, Ciara Higgins.<\/p>\n

However, she stressed Buckley had “carved her own pathway” and achieved success “on her own terms”.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think we can claim any of that, but it’s just wonderful to be a little of a part of that Golden Globes history and fingers crossed, a little bit of that Oscar history in the weeks ahead,” Higgins added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Buckley’s first cousin Brendan Fuller was among her family members who stayed up late to see her collect…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":691502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[77,3943,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-691501","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115883284273642995","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/691502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
