The Irish Film and Television Academy has announced details of the upcoming 20th Anniversary IFTA Awards ceremony, which will take place on Sunday, 7 May in Dublin.
Last year's IFTA Best Film winner, An Cailín Ciúin (The Quiet Girl), won seven IFTA awards plus the Rising Star award. It has gone on to make history as the first Irish-language feature film to be nominated for an Oscar in the Best International Feature category.
The awards will be hosted at the new Dublin Royal Convention Centre, situated on Ship Street, close to Dublin Castle.
RTÉ will broadcast the ceremony and highlights from the IFTA red carpet and backstage.
Deirdre O'Kane returns as host for the first in-person awards ceremony since 2018. This will be her sixth time at the helm.
Speaking about this year's event, O'Kane said: "What an honour to be hosting this milestone 20th Anniversary Awards, and what a golden year we're having for Irish talent across the globe.
"It's so important to reward Irish talent here at home, and I'm very proud to play my part in recognising their work and presenting them with Irish Academy Awards for excellence in their achievements."
Nominations are due to be announced on 7 March.
