Some of these nominations are all over the place. Best Factual Celebrity Bainisteoir? Seacht in Youth/Children's????
Allot of nods to TV3. While I accept that the Apprentice is good, I would question all but one of their nominations and that one is The Forgotten Irish. They actually had a number of better shows than the ones suggested.
Who comes up with these nomination lists? City Channel News??????0 -

Who comes up with these nomination lists?
I think the various companies put forward their choices. These go onto a longlist, which is voted on by the members of IFTA. The top four from each category then go through to the shortlist.
There are a couple of categories with five on the shortlist, which I would guess is because of a tie in the longlist voting.
I agree with you about The Forgotten Irish. It was a wonderful programme. I'm also pleased to see Ballybraddan on the childrens' shortlist. It didn't make much of a splash, but it was consistently funny and real. One of the best things RTE did last year.0 -

I can safely attest that Zonad was robbed blind at this awards show. The film is an instant classic. I know it looks dumb as a post in the ads, but it's a really smart comedy, with a surprisingly filthy mind (the ads neglect to mention that Zonad shags every female in the village). It's gonna get a lot of notices when it comes out on dvd and will go straight in among the irish film canon once people see it on tv (i don't think many are going to fork out to see it in cinema)
The Eclipse on the other hand was slow, maudlin and boring.
And another thing: The Eclipse premiered on TV, Five Minutes of Heavan premiered in theatres. How the fridge did weren't they nominated in the opposite categories? it makes no sense!0 -

I'm realising that if i weren't me i might think I was working for Zonad's marketing division. I'm not, I'm just a big fan of the film. It's getting compared to Father Ted a lot, and it's a justified comparison.0 -

Sunday Business Posts reviewer compared it to Fr. TedIf there is a joke here, I didn’t get it, no matter how many times it was repeated. There’s nothing wrong with poking fun at ourselves if the jabs are accurate. The model to follow is the one established by Father Ted, which used the mechanics of the sitcom farce to say something about who the Irish are, who we were and who we might become if we’re not careful. There is nothing like that in Zonad because there is nothing at all in it.
But I will go have a look.0 -
the fact that it's set in ireland barely matters, it's actually done in the style of a fifties communist-paranoia-alien-movie. the only difference is they dink guiness and and occasionally say Feck. Other than that it could be set in Provence.0

So do you think that Fr. Ted could be recreated in America?0 -
simply for the style of comedy I'd say not. I mean people debate all the time whether or not RTE could have made the show. The cast and production team were almost uniformly irish, but it was made for channel 4. Logic says that if the same team had worked for RTE it'd be the same show, but RTE's terrible track record with sitcoms says otherwise. Could Americans have written the show, parts of it. They would never in a million years have come up with the Craggy Island Chinatown, or Eoin MacLove, or the lovely girls contest, or, being honest, Father Jack. The parts that ring truest could not have been written by someone not intimately familiar with Ireland.
What I meant was that the comedy does not rely on Irishness, it's just probably just slightly funnier for the sake of it. It does go some way to play like an American movie from the 50s, everyone dresses in the style, the characters include a ridiculously German scientist, a ridiculously American teenager (played by the ridiculously mid-twenites Rory Keenan) and a ridiculously English butler. Since the style is mostly pastiche of America written in a very unAmerican style, yes, it could have been easily tailored to be set in France or Germany or Sweden.
The only character that I think would not work if he hadn't been Irish is Don Wycherley's Garda. He goes a little mad with power while keeping a bizarre "cheers, boss" friendliness.
Thing about all these people who hate all Irish movies is that they probably wouldn't hate them if they were made with familiar American talent. If Zach Galifianakis or Seth Rogen or Jack Black were cast as Zonad people would be far more forgiving (and if i'm being honest, they'd also probably be far funnier than Simon Delany, who doesn't quite do justice to the material). It's not a perfect movie, but people need to give it the same chance they'd give The Hangover or The 40-Year-Old Virgin.0 -
It has to do with a financing agreement RTE have with soem films - they give extra cash, but get to show a premiere on TV shortly before the film goes to theatres. Did the same for Once, I think.itsbillythehick wrote: »And another thing: The Eclipse premiered on TV, Five Minutes of Heavan premiered in theatres. How the fridge did weren't they nominated in the opposite categories? it makes no sense!
I couldn't stand Zonad to be honest, though Delaney to be fair did manage to carry the film quite well more or less on his own for the first half of it or so; I will have to disagree with the above poster on that. It has been getting some rave reviews in America I hear, but you would have to wonder how much of that has to do with their love-in of John Carney after Once was such a hit. Also might have to do with the fact that it is set in what is far more a rural American town of the 1950s, and not an Irish one.
I can't make much sense of the American-type setting, either. If they did it to be confusing or offbeat comical, it didn't work. But there is also the chance that it could have been a critique on Ireland being too 'Americanised' and trying to take certain aspects of The Butcher Boy (nuclear bomb, communists, etc) further to show this (e.g. along the lines of 'we have forgotten where we came from'). Although if that was the intention, I again think it fell short.0
