The Irish Film & Television Academy has announced the nominees for the IFTA Film and Drama Awards, set to take place on May 24 at Dublin’s Mansion House.

Lenny Abrahamson’s music comedy Frank and Terry McMahon’s girtty drama Patrick’s Day lead the pack with nine nominations each.

Gerard Barrett drama Glassland, which played at Sundance in January, follows with six nominations.

Films with three nominations apiece include Frank Berry’s I Used To Live Here, Tomm Moore’s Oscar-nominated animation Song of the Sea, and Stephen Bradley’s biopic Noble.

In the best actor cateogy, Patrick’s Day’s Moe Dunford will go head to head with A-listers Colin Farrell (Miss Julie) and Michael Fassbender (Frank) as well as Transformers star Jack Reynor (Glassland).

As previously announced, the annual IFTA Awards Ceremony has been split into two separate distinct smaller award ceremonies: a Film & Drama Awards and a Television Awards. Previously, the ceremony packed in more than 40 awards into one evening.
