The veteran performer Bríd Ní Neachtain won best actress for her performance in the much-admired Irish-language feature Róise & Frank. Paul Mescal, nominated opposite such talent as Colin Farrell and Liam Neeson, took best actor for his turn as a troubled father in Charlotte Wells’s debut feature Aftersun.
Mescal, also nominated in the supporting actor category for God’s Creatures, is currently the busiest actor on the planet and, preparing for the Gladiator sequel, was unable to make it to the convention centre. In a slightly eccentric system, Ifta presents the awards for TV drama and for film on the same evening. The runaway winner in the television section was Sharon Horgan’s darkly comic Bad Sisters. The Apple production took four Iftas: best TV drama, supporting actress for Anne-Marie Duff, director for Dearbhla Walsh, and best lead actress for Horgan.
