It’s no Oscars, but IFTAs pulled its share of A-listers

SAOIRSE Ronan stared blankly when asked if she compared the IFTAs to the Oscars.

“Um, I don’t really compare them,” she said. And why would she. At the Oscars she was likely to meet George Clooney or Brad Pitt on the red carpet in sunkissed LA. Here she was standing next to Gerry Ryan and Steve, the winner of The Apprentice.

That said, this year’s IFTAs did manage to bring its share of A-listers. There was Colin Farrell and Josh Hartnett. Angelina Jolie’s dad, John Voight and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
