Actor of the Year 2022

Colin Farrell – The Banshees of Inisherin

Colin Farrell’s performance in The Banshees of Inisherin is the summation of a stellar year with the Indie darling and The Batman proving his versatility. Here he showcases both his comedic talent but also a sense of isolation and detachment with as one might expect stellar chemistry with Brendan Gleeson, of course following their winning partnership in 2008’s In Bruges. – Chris Connor

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert – Everything Everywhere All At Once

Daniels have crafted a truly wonderful film with Everything Everywhere All At Once. There are a load of universes out there where this film wouldn’t work. But not this one. In this universe, Daniels have made a truly original and inventive film that’s a joy to watch. – Jed Wagman

Screenplay of the Year Winner

Martin McDonagh – The Banshees of Inisherin

Whilst the cast are rightfully getting praise, it’s McDonagh’s tight screenplay that is the unsung hero. This macabre breakup story resonates with its themes of existentialism and dialogue that is equally hilarious as it is heartbreaking. – Gavin Spoors
