8th Annual Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTA) - nominations
The Irish Film and Television Academy has announced the nominees in 36 categories for the 8th Annual Irish Film and Television Awards. Juanita Wilson’s Bosnian War drama As If I Am Not There emerged as the front runner with six nominations. It was nominated for Best Film, Best Director, Best Script, Best International Actress (Natasha Petrovic), Best Cinematography (Tim Fleming) and Best Editing (Nathan Nugent).
The other nominees for Best Film are were Ian Fitzgibbon’s Perrier’s Bounty, Conor McDermottroe’s Swansong: The Story of Occi Byrne, Ian Power’s The Runway and Tom Hall’s Sensation.
The nominees for Best International Picture were Inception, A Prophet, Toy Story 3 and The Social Network.
IFTA also nominates television categories. Film and television nominations are merged for the technical categories. Sadly, due to the lack of enough women leads, the Lead Actress nominations were also merged for film and television. Amy Huberman in Rewind was the only actress nominated for a feature film role.
Nominations were selected by IFTA from 245 titles submitted for consideration in the 2011 Awards.
The awards ceremony takes place on Saturday, February 12th at the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD).

ReplyDeletehow was it that Emma Eliza Regan performance in The Fading Light was unrecognised? She is a fantastic film actress that Ireland fails to recognise,the Fading Light was a superb feature film she was super, feel sorry for her that she was left out..also Jackie Lowe in C'mon Eileen was another actress in a feature film? this is a disgrace that they just dont bother celebrating irish film actress's like they do the men.
