The films The Banshees of Inisherin and Aisha and the TV series Bad Sisters were among the big winners at the Irish Film and Television Awards in Dublin on Sunday night.
Nine-time Oscar nominee The Banshees of Inisherin won Best Film, while Bad Sisters won Best Drama.
The Banshees of Inisherin star Brendan Gleeson was honoured with the Supporting Actor - Film award at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre, having received an Oscar nomination earlier this year.
Gleeson's co-star and fellow Oscar nominee Kerry Condon was honoured with the Supporting Actress - Film award for her performance in the Martin McDonagh tragicomedy.
Also in the film categories, Bríd Ní Neachtain won Lead Actress for Róise & Frank, and Paul Mescal won Lead Actor for his Oscar-nominated performance in Aftersun.
Aisha, a film focusing on immigration, saw Frank Berry taking home the Director and Script awards with the Production Design award going to Tamara Conboy for her work alongside Berry.
