No awards for noisy crowd but stars sparkle at IFTAs

Hollywood stars were shining brightly at this year’s Irish Film and Television Awards, with A-listers such as Colin Farrell and Michael Fassbender presenting and receiving awards.

It wasn’t all glitz and glam, however, due to significant sound problems during the televised broadcast.

Thanks to a particularly excitable crowd, the majority of RTÉ’s footage featured an overwhelming amount of background noise. So much so, a barrage of angry viewers took to Twitter during and after the show to voice disappointment.
