11 Jan 2011 :
IFTA Nominees Stephen Rea, Saoirse Ronan

IFTA has announced its shortlist of nominees in 36 categories for the 8th Annual Irish Film and Television Awards, which will take place on Saturday 12th February at The Convention Centre Dublin (CCD). Films shortlisted include Juanita Wilson’s ‘As If I Am Not There’, Tom Hall’s ‘Sensation’ and PJ Dillon’s ‘Rewind’ whilst the nominated dramas include Thaddeus O’Sullivan’s ‘Single-Handed’, Dearbhla Walsh’s ‘The Silence’ and Robert Quinn’s ‘Na Cloigne’.

The features nominated for Best Film at IFTA 2011 are; Juanita Wilson’s Bosnian-set drama ‘As If I Am Not There’; dark Irish comedies Parallel Films’ ‘Perrier’s Bounty’ and Blinder Films’ ‘Sensation’; Conor McDermottroe’s gritty ‘Swansong - Story of Occi Byrne’ and Ian Power’s uplifting drama ‘The Runway’.

The Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTA) 2011 look to celebrate the highest standard of Irish talent from the last twelve month and each category has been shortlisted by Members of the Irish Film & Television Academy’s fourteen chapters alongside a select Jury panel of industry experts from around the world.

‘Sensation’ director Tom Hall is nominated in the Director Film category whilst Juanita Wilson, Ian Power and PJ Dillon each received nominations for their feature film directorial debuts. Another newcomer, Will Collins, makes the Script Film shortlist for his screenplay ‘My Brothers’ alongside Mark O’Rowe (Perrier’s Bounty), Juanita Wilson (As If I Am Not There) and Conor McDermottroe (Swansong – Story of Occi Byrne).

Where the IFTA film acting categories are concerned, Cillian Murphy and Brendan Gleeson are nominated for their performances in the Irish gangster comedy, ‘Perrier’s Bounty’ and both Colin Farrell and Saoirse Ronan receive nominations for their performances in Peter Weir’s recent road movie ‘The Way Back’. Pierce Brosnan (The Ghost) and Liam Neeson (Chloe) are also shortlisted for their work on international projects with Martin McCann and Colm Meaney receiving nominations for their leading roles in Irish features ‘Swansong: Story of Occi Byrne’ and ‘Parked’ respectively.

Irish actresses Kerry Condon and Marcella Plunkett received their first IFTA nominations this year for their supporting roles in ‘The Runway’ and ‘Swansong: Story of Occi Byrne’ respectively, with IFTA winning actress Eileen Walsh shortlisted for her performance in ‘Snap’.

Amy Huberman’s lead performance in the feature film ‘Rewind’ will be judged against the performances from Television’s Lead Actresses Ruth Bradley (Love/Hate), Orla Brady (Mistresses), Sarah Flood (Fair City) and Charlene McKenna (RAW), IFTA having merged these two categories this year due to an inadequate number of Lead Actress submissions in the Film category.

In the category of Irish drama RTÉ’s Dublin-set crime drama ‘Love/Hate’ led the overall Awards shortlist with 10 nominations across television drama, acting and craft categories. Biopics ‘MO’ and ‘When Harvey Met Bob’ are also nominated nominated with ‘Wild Decembers’, ‘The Silence’ and Irish language drama ‘Na Cloigne’ for Single Drama/Drama Serial. ‘RAW’, ‘Single-Handed’, ‘The Tudors’ and ‘Ros na Run’ received nominations again in 2011 alongside new project ‘Love/Hate’ in Drama Series/Soap.

Having won the IFTA for Director Television in 2010 for his work on ‘Into the Storm’, director Thaddeus O’Sullivan has been nominated again in the category, this year for his work on ‘Single Handed’. His fellow nominees include David Caffrey for ‘Love/Hate’; Robert Quinn for ‘Na Cloigne’ and Dearbhla Walsh for ’The Silence’.

Fair City writer Hilary Reynolds this year received her first IFTA nomination as did the Irish soap opera’s stars Sarah Flood and Eamon Morrissey. Other first-time nominees in the acting categories include Robert Sheehan for ‘Love/Hate’ along with brothers Domhnall Gleeson for ‘When Harvey Met Bob’ and Brian Gleeson for ‘Love/Hate’. Orla Brady (Mistresses) and Ruth Negga (Love/Hate) also receive acting nominations with IFTA winning actors Stephen Rea (Single Handed), Sean McGinley (Wild Decembers), Ruth McCabe (Single-Handed), Charlene McKenna (RAW), Dervla Kirwan (The Silence) and Sarah Bolger (The Tudors).

Television-wise, TV3’s ‘The Apprentice’ features in the shortlist for Entertainment programme for the third year in a row alongside Good Company Productions’ ‘Feirm Factor’; RTÉ’s ‘The Model Scouts’ and ‘Your Bad Self’. 2010’s Current Affairs IFTA winner, ‘The Frontline’ is shortlisted for the second year running with other nominations in this category going to BBC’s ‘Spotlight: The Iris Robinson Investigation’ and programmes from previous IFTA winners including ‘Tonight with Vincent Browne’ and ‘Prime Time Investigates: Forgotten Lives’.

Finally RTÉ’s ‘Operation Transformation’, the final series to have been presented by the late Gerry Ryan, is nominated in the factual category alongside TV3’s flagship morning show ‘Ireland AM’ and two other RTÉ factual series, ‘Reeling in the Years’ and ‘The Eagles Return’. Other shortlisted titles include the sports programmes ‘Graeme McDowell’s Major Moment’, a behind the scenes look at the Irish golfer’s US Open victory; ‘In Sunshine or In Shadow’, the true story behind Barry McGuigan and Eusebio Pedroza’s featherweight title match; and documentaries such as ‘TK Whitaker - Seirbhseach an Stáit’, examining one of Ireland’s most respected public servants; the nationwide search for ‘Ireland’s Greatest’; and the topical ‘Freefall: The Night The Banks Failed’, which recounts the dramatic events in the fortnight leading up to the banking crisis.

The academy also announced recently that Dublin’s Convention Centre is the new venue for the Irish Film & Television Awards ceremony in 2011. It was further revealed that IFTA received 245 titles submitted for consideration in the 2011 Awards.

IFTA’s Academy CEO, Aine Moriarty commented on this year’s nominee’s, saying: “In 2010 the Irish film and television industry has continued to produce a remarkable standard of work despite difficult circumstances in the Irish economy. The Academy is delighted the industry, with the on-going support from the Irish government, is continuing to provide excellent feature films, dramas, entertainment programmes and documentaries. Audiences in Ireland and around the world consistently respond to the work produced and made by our home-grown creative talents and, alongside many of our industry greats I am pleased to see so many exciting new names in the shortlist – this reflects the growing pool of talent in our creative industries, long may it continue.”
