The 9th Irish Film & Television Awards took place on Saturday 11 February 2012 at the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD), honouring Irish film and television released in 2011.[1]

It was hosted by Irish actor Simon Delaney.[1][2] The Show was broadcast on RTÉ One Television on the night.

The ceremony, hosted by the Academy on Saturday 11 February reached a record audience of 1.143 Million viewers* on RTÉ One, clocking up the highest number of Irish viewers to watch the Awards show.[3]

Among the winners at the Irish Film & Television Awards was Michael Fassbender, who picked up the Best Actor IFTA for his stark performance in Steve McQueen's drama Shame. Speaking after receiving his IFTA, Michel said he was "humbled" and "honoured" to accept the accolade from the Irish Academy.

The Guard, Ireland's most successful independent Irish feature film,[1][4] won four film Awards on the night; Best Film, Director, Screenwriter and Supporting Actress Fionnula Flanagan.

Irish Actress Fionnula Flanagan received the IFTA Lifetime Achievement award.[5]
