Samson leads IF Award nominations

[Mon 12/10/2009 02:28:47]

By Brendan Swift

Warwick Thornton’s indigenous love story Samson & Delilah has racked up eight Inside Film Award nominations among a strong line-up of films this year.

It was closely followed by political thriller Balibo, which has seven nominations, and animated feature Mary & Max, with four nominations.

Samson & Delilah and Balibo were also nominated for Best Feature Film alongside Lebanese-Australian crime thriller Cedar Boys.

The Inside Film Awards are largely determined by public votes and this year received 191,433 ratings – more than triple the number received in 2008.

The nominations were announced this morning in Sydney by host Eddie Perfect, actor David Wenham, Beneath Hill 60 director Jeremy Sims and Packed to the Rafters actress Jessica McNamee.
