The award for Short Film went to Ciúnas by Tristan Heanue. A couple drives to the city to collect their daughter. It’s clear they are in the middle of a family crisis. But what exactly is wrong…. and how do they cope with the unfolding situation?

The award for Television Drama went to the second season of Channel 4’s hit comedy series Derry Girls. The sixth episode was series 2 was singled out and award to creator and writer Lisa McGee. As Christmas nears, excitement in Derry is at fever pitch for President Bill Clinton's visit.
