Australia is toasting its newest Academy Award winner in Andrew Jackson, recognised as part of the visual effects team on Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet'.
Matt Everitt, Genevieve Camilleri, Matt Sloan, and Brian Cox have earned a nod for their work on 'Love and Monsters', while the UK-based Andrew Jackson is nominated as part of the VFX team on 'Tenet'.
Cinemas should have scored a significant boost last weekend, with two major releases in the way of Disney's 'Raya and the Last Dragon' and Roadshow's 'Chaos Walking'. Yet exhibitors report softer starts for both titles than they hoped for.
Female-led stories across film and television dominated the AACTA International Awards, with 'Promising Young Woman', 'Nomadland', and 'The Queen's Gambit' leading the winners.
Chloé Zhao's 'Nomadland' has earned six nominations for the AACTA International Awards, just ahead of Aaron Sorkin's 'The Trial of the Chicago 7', which received five.
