IFTA Nominations

IFTA Nominations

We’re looking forward to this one tonight. Our editor Brian will be the only one of us in attendance and he got his ticket himself.

Fecking looking forward to a bit of Red Carpet shite tonight though. Not gonna make any predictions as I am hopeful for a lot of the nominees but they rarely come through.

If I was to put money on I’d say Brendan O’Carroll, Moone Boy and 50 Ways To Kill Your Mother have super shots.

Every other category is dubious and could go either way. Really looking forward to the ceremony. Ireland has some serious talent and shows on at present. We’re gonna meet them.
