Animal Kingdom leads AFI nominations
Animal Kingdom received 18 nominations for this year’s Australian Film Institute Awards, followed by Beneath Hill 60 (12), Bright Star (11), Tomorrow, When the War Began (8), The Tree, Bran Nue Dae (7 each) and The Boys Are Back (4)
The Best Film category will see Animal Kingdom competing against Beneath Hill 60, Bright Star, Bran Nue Dae, The Tree and Tomorrow, When the War Began.
Australia’s top rated drama productions – Packed to the Rafters and Underbellly: The Golden Mile – were both absent from the main Television categories (except for Underbelly‘s two acting nods).
The winners will be revealed on December 10 (Industry Awards) and 11 (main Awards Ceremony) in Melbourne.
And if Animal Kingdom wins those 18 awards then good on them – by far the best film amongst the rest of the films nominated.
It’s good to see young Ashleigh Cummings being nominated for the Young Actor Award. I thought she played a good role as the nerdy, religious Robyn in the movie. It’s good to see Tomorrow When The War Began nominated for some awards too. Have not seen animal kingdom yet, but all those nominations now have me wanting to go see it.
