What Richard Did, the drama which features a middle-class, rugby-playing teenager caught up in a killing, has been nominated for 10 awards including best film, best director and best actor for Jack Reynor.

Reynor’s performance has helped secure for him the lead role in the latest installment of the Hollywood blockbuster franchise Transformers.
