The winners of the 2017 IFTA Film and Drama Awards have finally been revealed after a star-studded night.
Ireland’s biggest stars in film and drama descended upon the Mansion House in Dublin’s city centre for the exclusive award ceremony, which was hosted by actress and comedian Deirdre O’Kane.
The Academy welcomed 500 guests from across the world of Film & Drama, who all came together to celebrate the continued great work and success of Ireland’s home industry.
Plenty of actors, actresses and film makers took home some well-deserved gongs on the night, including Amy Huberman for Best Actress in a Drama – who dedicated her award to her daughter Sadie.
