‘Better Man’, ‘Boy Swallows Universe’ top AACTA nominations

Jonno Davies as Robbie Williams in 'Better Man'

Music-based films have led the charge in the nominations for the 2025 AACTA Awards announced today, with Michael Gracey’s upcoming Robbie Williams-inspired Better Man securing a record-breaking 16 nominations, and Nick Waterman’s adaptation of Paul Kelly’s How To Make Gravy just behind on 15.

The pair will battle it out for Best Film alongside George Miller’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, also with 15 nominations, Colin and Cameron Cairnes’ Late Night With the Devil (14 nominations), Adam Elliot’s Memoir of a Snail (11 nominations), and Runt (four nominations).

After dominating this year’s Logies, Netflix’s screen adaptation of Trent Dalton’s Boy Swallows Universe has continued its awards momentum in AACTA television categories, securing 21 nominations, including Best Miniseries and eight acting nominations – the most nominations for any production in AACTA history.

Also well represented are Stan’s road drama Thou Shalt Not Steal with nine nods, while Binge comedy Colin From Accounts and Disney+ comedy-drama The Artful Dodger managed eight nominations each. Overall, ABC led the platforms with 53 nominations, followed by Netflix (31), Stan (20), Foxtel (18), Binge and Network 10 (16), Paramount+ (11), SBS and Disney+ (9), Nine and Seven (3) and Prime Video and NITV (2).

For the first time in AACTA history, motion capture performances and voice acting have been included in the acting categories, with Jonno Davies earning a nod for his portrayal of a motion-capture monkey in Better Man, while Jacki Weaver, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Sarah Snook were recognised for their voice work in the animated Memoir of a Snail.

The nominations were based on voting from AACTA members, who are now invited to vote on each of the categories to determine the 2025 winners.

AACTA CEO Damian Trewhella said the scope of nominees for this year’s awards showed Australian screen storytelling was “hitting new heights”.

Better Man smashing all-time records with 16 film nominations is a massive nod to the brilliance of everyone involved,” he said.

“It’s in great company too, with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, How to Make Gravy, Late Night with the Devil, and Memoir of a Snail all racking up nominations across 11 or more categories.

“Among Australian series, Boy Swallows Universe has made history with the most nominations ever – 22. It’s a huge achievement and a testament to the strength of our TV industry, with other Aussie favourites like Bluey continuing to shine on the world stage.”

This year’s AACTA Awards Industry Gala will be held on Wednesday, February 5 and the AACTA Award Ceremony will be held on Friday, February 7. Both ceremonies will be held at HOTA, Home of the Arts on the Gold Coast, as part of the AACTA Festival, which will run for five days from February 5 – 9.

The AACTA Audience Choice Awards will return in December as AACTA opens applications for contenders on their social media platforms for Favourite Australian Digital Creator, Favourite Film, Favourite TV Show, Favourite Actors, and more. Voting for these awards will happen in January.
