Northern Pictures was crowned Production Business of the Year at Wednesday evening's Screen Producers Australia (SPA) Awards, while also taking home further gongs for 'See What You Made Do' and 'Love on the Spectrum'.
The titles that will contend for Best Feature Film Production, Best Drama Series Production, and Telemovie or Mini-Series Production of the Year at next year's Screen Producers Australia Awards have been revealed, with voting now open for the penultimate round of finalists.
'High Ground', 'The Invisible Man' and '2067' lead the feature film nominees and 'Hungry Ghosts', 'Stateless' and 'Bump' television for the upcoming Australian Production Design Guild (APDG) Awards.
Shannon Murphy's 'Babyteeth', Leigh Whannell's 'The Invisible Man' and Daniel Gordon's Adam Goodes documentary 'The Australian Dream' may all end up in contention at this year's BAFTA Awards.
The experience of going to the movies remains "robust and durable" following a challenging year for the Australian box office, according to the Motion Picture Distributors Association of Australia (MPDAA).

After 'The Invisible Man' racked up more than $US125 million at cinemas worldwide - the bulk of it before the pandemic struck - Elisabeth Moss' latest thriller 'Shirley' had to face the realities of the pandemic-blighted cinema landscape.
The floodgates opened last weekend with more than a dozen new releases led by 'The Personal History of David Copperfield', plus several re-issues as more cinemas resumed trading.
