Colin Farrell gave a sweet – and rare – shout-out to his sister Claudine at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night.

“I have to thank my sister who I’ve worked with for 22 years,” Farrell shared, as the cameras switched to a shot of her sitting in the audience. “I never thank her publicly, but Claudine Farrell … she’s a producer.”

It marks the first time that Colin has thanked Claudine on stage, and he also took the chance to thank his other sister. “My sister Catherine, who’s the first actor in the family and showed me that that was a possibility, to pursue that passion,” he added.

 

“My brother Eamon, who texted me last night that Netflix is showing this live and he’s staying up in his pyjamas to watch it. Eamon, I love you. Catherine, I love you. My mum, Rita, my dad, Eamon, and the two people in my life who have made my life so much more special and so much more meaningful, so much more joyful than I ever truly thought possible: my son James and son Henry.”

 

He also acknowledged the cast and crew of The Penguin, in addition to his fellow nominees in the category.
