Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman has won Best Film at the 10th Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) International Awards. The film also picked up Best Actress for Carey Mulligan. Chloé Zhao became the first female filmmaker to receive the AACTA International Award for Best Direction in Film for Nomadland.
AACTA CEO Damian Trewhella said: “Today’s results are a testament to the depth and excellence being produced globally in film and TV. It is particularly special to see Australian powerhouse Margot Robbie behind the scenes on such an important piece of work with ‘Promising Young Woman’ taking out Best Film. To have started her career in Australia on a soap like ‘Neighbours’ to now cementing her position as one of Hollywood’s most significant and influential storytellers is incredible. It is also wonderful to see an actor like Aaron Pedersen rise up and receive Best Actor in a Series in a category overflowing with extraordinary talent.”
