Jason has a complete list of all the award categories and nominees here.
The voting form is online here. If you haven’t done so already, I urge you to head on over and vote (you don’t have to be Irish to vote in the awards).
March 3rd (the night of the awards) promises to be a great night. Well done Damien, once more.
