Live updates from the 2015 Irish Film and Television Awards

The stars are coming out tonight for this year’s Irish Film and Television Awards and Irish Examiner reporter Kelly O’Brien will be on the scene and live blogging from the red carpet from 5pm. 

Irish nominees include Colin Farrell, Michael Fassbender, Jamie Dornan, Cillian Murphy, Aidan Gillen, Tom Vaughan Lawlor and Liam Cunningham, to name but a few, while international nods are given to Benedict Cumberbatch, Jake Gyllenhall and Eddie Redmayne.

This year the awards ceremony will be presented in two halves – the television awards will take place in October and the film and drama awards take place tonight at Dublin’s Mansion House.
