The IFTA’s were on last night. For those wondering, its like the Irish version of the Oscars….sort of. Last nights IFTAs ran smoothly enough with the obvious exception of a number of pig ignorant audience members who behaved like they were at at a wedding than an actual televised, awards show. Look, we know the booze is flowing and the prawn sandwiches are a plenty, but the same goes for the Golden Globes and many other award ceremonies. At least those audiences have the decency and respect for their fellow colleagues to shut the fuck up. Anyway, ignorant crowd pigs aside, heres the winners list
