James Corden wasn't the only non-Irish person to be honoured at the yearly Pre-Oscars bash in LA last night; Daisy Ridley, J.J. Abrams, and Downton's Joanne Froggatt were also in attendance at the 11th Oscar Wilde Awards. You don't have to have any Irish connection to be honoured, but it helps. For example, some of The Force Awakens was shot in Ireland. And as for Froggatt and Corden; sure England's only next door, wha'?!

Speaking of Corden's appointment as Honorary Irishman, event founder Trina Vargo said he was deserving of the accolade: "because he’s such a lovely and funny guy... I’m sure he’ll have fun with it. A lot of our honorary Irish seem to feel on the night that they have to prove they deserve the honor, so they always have either the funniest or most poignant stories you’ve ever heard. And that makes for a great show."

100% Irish celebs who were also at the yearly awards included Amy Huberman...
