Two of Australia's most in-demand acting exports are reportedly gearing up to star opposite each other in a new adaptation of Emily Brontë's novel 'Wuthering Heights', to be directed by Emerald Fennell.
'Oppenheimer' may have battled it out with 'Barbie' at the box office but 'Poor Things' proved its nearest rival at the Oscars.
Australia's Oscar hopes were dealt a blow at this year's BAFTA Awards as 'Poor Things' scribe Tony McNamara and 'Barbie' star and producer Margot Robbie lost out.
Danny and Michael Philippou's 'Talk To Me' took home a further three awards at AACTA Ceremony on Saturday evening, including Best Film and Best Direction, adding to its haul of five gongs from Thursday.
Margot Robbie is well positioned to add an AACTA Audience Choice Award to her Trailblazer prize at this Saturday's ceremony, getting a nod for Favourite Actress, while two of the films she produced — 'Barbie' and 'Saltburn' — are up for Favourite Film.
Margot Robbie will follow in the footsteps of Simon Baker, Isla Fisher Rose Byrne, and Chris Hemsworth in receiving the AACTA Trailblazer Award.
Screenwriter Tony McNamara is Australia's lone individual nominee for this year's Oscars, with Margot Robbie missing out in the lead actress category and instead recognised as a producer on 'Barbie', which is up for Best Motion Picture.
While 'Barbie' may have been snubbed by BAFTA voters for Best Film, Margot Robbie will still carry Australian hopes at the UK awards, alongside Jacob Elordi and Tony McNamara.
