Animal Kingdom, a perfect 10 at AFI Awards
It was a night of success for Animal Kingdom at last night’s 2010 Samsung AFI Awards; the event’s final year in Melbourne before moving to Sydney went out with the blast of a shotgun as the tale of Melbourne’s underworld criminals won 10 prizes. Glenn Dunks reports.
David Michôd’s film won every major category except Best Supporting Actress, which went to Deborah Mailman for musical Bran Nue Dae. Stuart Beattie took home the statue for Best Adapted Screenplay for his work on Tomorrow, When the War Began, and mentioned he has recently started writing the sequel. Hollywood stars Sam Worthington and Mia Wasikowksa took home the Best International Actor and Actress awards, but the biggest surprise was the win for Contact in Best Documentary.
The TV categories were dominated by Network Ten, which won awards for Rush, Hawke and Offspring (Mailman’s second award for the night), while Catherine McClements beat her co-star, Justine Clarke, to the Best Lead Actress in a Television Drama for Tangle on Foxtel’s Showcase.
These are all the 2010 AFI Awards winners:
