The Ardattin teenager has several blockbuster films under her belt and picked up the award for her outstanding contribution to film and for doing a fantastic job of representing Ireland in Hollywood. The Lovely Bones, an adaptation of the hugely popular book by Alice Sebold. Directed by Peter Jackson,
