“He’s out here in Hollywood wearing a leopard-print suit jacket. We would love to use the rest of our time up here to sing to James.“ The star, who has Down’s Syndrome, was noticeably moved by the gesture and gave a thumbs-up to the crowd. Fellow nominee, Colin Farrell, mirrored the gesture. In, An Irish Goodbye, James plays a brother who is reunited with his sibling Turlough (Seamus O’Hara) due to his mother’s death. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0YVueR5ho0 Despite the short’s success, James chose to go back to a Starbucks branch in Belfast in the weeks before the Academy Awards.
