Let’s take a moment to raise a glass to Irons. He previously won television’s top honor for his supporting turn in “Elizabeth I” and for his narration of “The Great War and the Shaping of American History” and “Big Cat Week,” competing once more for “Brideshead Revisited.” Irons last graced American TV screens in the superhero drama series “Watchmen” on HBO, which brought him an Emmy nomination. And he was won three of the five Emmy Awards for which he has been nominated, both as an actor and as a narrator (especially with that voice). Irons is also perfect at the Tony Awards, winning the Best Actor award for Tom Stoppard‘s 1984 production of “The Real Thing” (hint: when Irons is nominated, he tends to win). It also brought Irons his first Golden Globe Award. Irons is one-for-one at the Academy Awards, winning for his only nomination in Barbet Schroeder‘s “Reversal of Fortune” as suspected murderer Claus von Bülow, considered by many to be one of the definitive performances of the ’90s. I suspect that we are in store for many more great performances to come. A winner of Oscars, Emmys and Tonys, Jeremy Irons has been delivering top-notch performances for four decades now, and as he has been turning his sights back to television in recent years.
