We love this man.
There are four Irish entertainers officially nominated for a Golden Globe, and you can add the legendary Patrick Stewart to that list.
The veteran actor found out about his nod – Best Actor in a TV Comedy Series – for his lead role on Blunt Talk while on holiday in Jamaica, and he took to Twitter to celebrate the achievement.
Dear #HFPA I am so overjoyed by my @goldenglobes nomination I decided to coordinate my look today. #aquasocks pic.twitter.com/nUrW5kYaaH

The 75-year-old told People.com about the hilarious moment he found out:
“I’m on vacation in Jamaica, and I’m thinking that the announcements are not going to be made for another two hours, when suddenly I heard this howl from the bedroom where my wife, I thought, was sleeping,” said the Star Trek actor.
“And I rushed in because she’s terrified of spiders so I thought a tarantula climbed into bed with her or something – no, she was already online looking at the announcements and the nominations.”
Here is a clip of the show that has brought him the good news.
