| Cillian’s After Colin’s Crown
By Grainne McLoughlin
Colin Farrell might have to watch his back as a fellow Irish actor and
friend could be about to take his glorified crown.
Hollywood heartthrob Cillian Murphy has been nominated for two Irish
Film and Television Awards — Best Actor for his performance in Red Eye and
Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Batman Begins.
But it won’t be an easy ride as competition is fierce. Other nominees
in the Best Film Actor include Gabriel Byrne for Wah Wah, Liam Neeson for
Kinsey and Aidan Quinn for Convicted.
The Best Supporting Actor category sees Cillian face David Kelly for
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sean McGinley for On A Clear Day and
Tadhg Murphy for Boy Eats Girl.
Other nominees include singer Andrea Corr, Jillian Bradbury, and Winnie
Maughan.
Mickybo & Me, The Mighty Celt, Pavee Lackeen, Tara Road and Trouble With
Sex are nominated for Best Film.
And the nominees for Best Director are Anthony Byrne for Short Order,
Fintan Connolly for Trouble With Sex, Terry George for Hotel Rwanda and
Perry Ogden for Pavee Lackeen.
The awards will take place on November 5.
