Pat Kenny’s new series ‘The Frontline’ features in the Current Affairs category with ‘Prime Time Investigates Travellers - On the Edge’, ‘Spotlight: Stem Cell Tourists’ and ‘Paul Williams’ Investigates’, a probing insight into the Shell to Sea campaign. The Entertainment group sees 2009 winner ‘The Apprentice’ in the spotlight once again with ‘The All Ireland Talent Show’, ‘The Savage Eye’ and Xposé’s tribute to Boyzone star Stephen Gately also nominated.

Áine Moriarty, CEO of the Irish Film and Television Academy reflected on the impressive list of nominees, enthusing: “It’s a tremendous lineup of strong, diverse Irish production for IFTA 2010 and the Nominees’ showcase of work reinforces the fact that Ireland has a superb resource of creative talent, despite the difficult Irish economic year and the knock-on effect to our creative industries. The Academy is proud to give due recognition to home-grown Irish talent for their creative achievements both at home and abroad. Best of luck to all the Nominees and we look forward to a great industry celebration at the 7th annual IFTA Awards Ceremony.”

The Irish Film & Television Awards will take place at the Burlington Hotel, Dublin. The Awards ceremony will be broadcast live on 20th February 2010.

Following on from the success of the Awards in 2009, this year's Awards ceremony promises to be a highly prestigious and glamorous event with a host of film stars, TV personalities, directors, producers and distinguished guests in attendance to celebrate the undisputed talent that exists within the film and television industries in Ireland and around the globe.
