The Eye Of The Storm by Fred Schepisi was next with 12 nominations. Its nods also included Best Film, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Lead Actor (Geoffrey Rush), Actress (Judy Davis, Charlotte Rampling), Supporting Actor (John Gaden) and Supporting Actress (Helen Morse, Alexandra Schepisi).
They were followed by Justin Kurzel's Snowtown with 10, Kriv Stenders' RED DOG with 8, Jim Loach's Oranges And Sunshine with 7, and Brendan Fletcher's Mad Bastards with 5. These four films were also each nominated for Best Film. The same six Best Film nominees were also selected as nominees for the AFI Members' Choice Award. All other categories only had four slots, however, so Loach and Fletcher were left off the list for Best Director.
A total of 14 Feature Films out of a possible 21 received nominations. The AACTA Awards also recognized 14 Documentaries, 4 Short Animations, 6 Short Fiction Films and 23 Television Productions.
For Feature Documentary, the leading film was Bob Connolly and Sophie Raymond's Mrs Carey's Concert with 5 nominations. It competes against Life In Movement, Shut Up Little Man! and The Tall Man for both the Best Feature Length Documentary and Best Direction in a Documentary.
AACTA was established in August 2011, announcing Geoffrey Rush as founding President, creating a dedicated peak peer assembly for the Australian screen industry, and delivering a new style of Awards programs in line with international models. It replaces the Australian Film Institute's AFI Awards which were first presented in 1958.
The ceremonies for the 1st Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards will take place on January 15 at a lunch at Sydney’s Westin Hotel, and January 31 at the Sydney Opera House.
