She spoke about getting the chance to host the IFTAs: "It's a real honour to have been asked to host the IFTA Awards. It is such an important and prestigious event celebrating a wealth of homegrown talent in the film and television industry."The award show on the 24th of May will be home to a galaxy of stars, with major nominations for the likes of Domhnall Gleeson, Michael Fassbender, Colin Farrell, Aidan Gillen, Lenny Abrahamson, Stephen Rea, Sarah Greene, Andrew Scott, Maria Doyle Kennedy and many more.
