Other notable winners included Cillian Murphy, who snagged the Lead Actor award for his compelling performance in Small Things Like These, rounding off a journey that began with his breakout role in Disco Pigs.

Also gracing the winners’ list were Saoirse Ronan, who somehow managed to take home two awards, and the hit series 'Bad Sisters', which celebrated the brilliance of Sharon Horgan. A true testament to the diversity of talent in Ireland, the night proved that the Emerald Isle is not just beautiful scenery! Even Ralph Fiennes and Colin Farrell made their appearances to soak in the magic of the evening, proving that the Irish screen is flourishing like a field of shamrocks!

As if the star power wasn’t enough, the event embraced a spirit of love, coinciding with Valentine’s Day!

With the atmosphere buzzing with excitement, it was a night that celebrated the very heart and soul of Irish cinema.

Fun fact: The IFTAs have been honoring excellence in film and television since 2003 and continue to be a pivotal event in the Irish entertainment calendar.
