Oppenheimer Leads AACTA International Awards Nominations

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer leads the nominations for the 13th Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) International Awards with six nods including Best Film and Best Director. Elsewhere, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon both scored five nominations. Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction landed three nominations including Best Film, which is ironic to note, given the film does not currently have a release date in Australia.

The AACTA International Awards honour achievements in screen excellence, regardless of geography, across eleven categories. The Awards add a uniquely Australian voice to the international awards season. The winners will be announced on February 8.
