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.
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.
Exhibitors are optimistic about the summer prospects for 'Wonka' after Timothée Chalamet's take on Roald Dahl's chocolatier got off to a strong start at the box office last weekend.
'Oppenheimer' leads the film race for February's AACTA International Awards, while 'Succession' has earned the most nominations in television.
Ridley Scott's historical epic 'Napoleon' emerged the victor at the box office last weekend, outpacing 'Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes'.
'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' may not have opened at the heights seen for the rest of the franchise, but it still gave exhibitors a needed boost last weekend.
