(Reuters) – Irish actress Saoirse Ronan expressed delight that no-one stumbled over her name when she was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild award on Wednesday. On Thursday, Ronan was also nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Irish immigrant drama “Brooklyn” but Hollywood veteran Dennis Quaid fumbled her first name, calling her “Sheesha” while making the televised announcement. Entertainment website Moviefone.com called Quaid “the John Travolta of 2106 Golden Globe Pronounciations” likening his slip to Travolta's introduction of “Wicked” singer Idina Menzel as “Adele Dazeem” at the 2014 Oscars ceremony.
