lead the nominations at the 9th Annual Irish Film and Television Awards with nine nods each across major categories. The awards will be presented on February 11.

Irish Film and Television Academy CEO Aine Moriarty said, “The Irish Film & Television Awards is Ireland’s showcase to the world of what our small but outstanding film and television community has to offer: excellent and challenging feature films and dramas; entertaining television and engaging factual content. The Irish industry consistently delivers world-class standards of work that is watched by a global audience. Ireland’s economic struggles have been well documented, but against this pressure it’s heartening to see how Ireland’s hard-working creative community continues to punch above its weight and really deliver.”
