Irish Film and Television Nominees 2015 announced

The IFTA's are back for 2015, rumours of their demise have been greatly exaggerated, and the list of nominees has been revealed.

For the first time, the awards will be split into two ceremonies - the Film & Drama section in May and the Television awards in October, giving all the categories a chance to shine and show off the diverse range of Irish talent on offer. The Film & Drama awards will be given out at the Mansion House in Dublin on Sunday the 24th of May 2015, with the host yet to be announced and the festivities to be broadcast on TV3 for the first time. The full list of nominees are below but you'll see deserved attention for the likes of Lenny Abrahamson's Frank, Gerard Barrett's Glassland and performers like Michael Fassbender, Domhnall Gleeson, Kerry Condon and many more. The future of the ceremony was in doubt after a boadcast marred by difficulties in 2014, so let's hope that everything runs smoother for TV3 in 2015. FULL LIST OF IFTA NOMINEES 2015Best Film
