I’m not of Irish descent but something about Ireland calmed me down when I visited there in the fall of ’88. A voice told me I was among friends or perhaps even my own through some obscure ancestral ink. Which is why I wangled an invite to tonight’s Irish shindig (an eighth annual Oscar Wilde celebration honoring the Irish in Film) happening at JJ Abrams‘ production company, Bad Robot. Last year Abrams (who co-hosts with wife Katie McGrath) was made an “honorary” Irishman. Colin Farrell, Liam Hemsworth, Jason O’Mara, Jason Schwartzman and Lily Collins are expected to attend.
