Frances Elliott and Samantha Marlowe's 'Girl Like You', the story of a couple told over six years as one of them transitions gender, was recognised with the major award at last night's AWGIE Awards.'.
Call it the quiet before 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' - last weekend was the second slowest exhibitors have faced this year.
While 'Black Adam' remained the main event at the box office last weekend, capturing 40 per cent overall market share, 'Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris' saw an older audience return to cinemas with gusto.
'Blaze', 'How To Please A Woman', 'Sissy' and 'Sweet As' will contend for the best original feature prize at this year’s AWGIE Awards, while 'Mrs Harris Goes to Paris', 'The Stranger' and 'The Drover's Wife The Legend of Molly Johnson' are up for the adapted gong. 'The Newsreader' leads in television with two nominations alongside 'Total Control', 'Firebite', 'Bump' and 'Heartbreak High'.
Paramount Pictures' 'Top Gun: Maverick' will be one of the first films presented to exhibitors at next week's Australian International Movie Convention.
