Another year, another awards ceremony – and now for something a bit more local.

The Irish Film and Television Academy, which acknowledges, celebrates and awards the very best the industry has to offer, have announced their nominees for this year’s Film & Drama awards ceremony, which will take place at the Round Room of the Mansion House on Saturday 8th April 2017.

Academy CEO Aine Moriarty stated that: “These great Irish Nominees are a testament to the hard work and achievements by Irish creative talent within the film and television industry, delivering world-class standards of work and we look forward to showcasing and celebrating their achievements at the Awards Ceremony”.

This year’s IFTA Lifetime Achievement award will be presented to Michael Gambon, best-known for playing Dumbledore in the Harry Potter franchise.
