Michael Fassbender, Brendan Gleeson: Irish Film and Television Awards
John Michael McDonagh’s comedy The Guard , already the most successful independently released Irish film at the domestic box office, could be in for further acclaim at the ninth annual Irish Film and Television Awards (Iftas), next Saturday.
The film is up for nine awards, including best picture and best director, though two other films are also in contention for nine awards: Stella Days , Thaddeus O’Sullivan’s drama about a cinema in rural Ireland, and the Oscar-nominated Albert Nobbs , starring Glenn Close as a woman forced to cross-dress in 19th-century Ireland.
The performers competing for best lead actor in a film are Michael Fassbender ( Shame ), Brendan Gleeson ( The Guard ), Ciarán Hinds ( Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy ) and Martin Sheen ( Stella Days ); the best lead actress race is between Aoife Duffin ( Behold The Lamb) , Antonia Campbell Hughes ( The Other Side of Sleep ), Marcella Plunkett ( Stella Days) and Saoirse Ronan ( Hanna ).
