With this year selection of films that are in the nominations for The 89 Academy Awards in 2017 and with the likes of Moonlight and La La Land being the favourites, we are also excited on the fact of our Australian nominations which are….


NICOLE KIDMAN Supporting actress: Lion

The Australian actress was nominated for her portrayal of Sue Brierley, the Tasmanian mother who adopts a lost Indian boy in the true story, Lion.

The supporting actress nomination is the fourth of Kidman’s career.

Kidman won her only Oscar in 2003 for The Hours, and was nominated in 2011 for Rabbit Hole.

MEL GIBSON Best director: Hacksaw Ridge

In the late 1980s, 1990s until the mid-2000s Gibson was one of the kings of Hollywood.

He dominated the Oscars in 1996 with best director and best picture trophies for Braveheart, starred in the Lethal Weapon franchise and other blockbusters and cashed in while funding and directing 2004’s The Passion of the Christ, which earned $US611 million globally.

Then controversy struck with his 2006 DUI arrest at Malibu where he was accused of ant-Semitic slurs and then his volatile break-up with girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva raised domestic abuse and racial and sexist slurs allegations.

Gibson, who was shunned by Hollywood for more than a decade, scored his Oscar nomination this year for directing Hacksaw Ridge.

BENTLEY DEAN MARTIN BUTLER Foreign Language Film: Tanna

Perhaps no other Oscar nominees this year faced so many hurdles or were on such a small budget as these two yet they still scored their invite to this year’s Academy Awards.

The duo shot their film in a mountainous, cut-off from the world area of Vanuatu and used local villagers who spoke in the Navhal and Nafe languages as their stars.

LUKE DAVIES Adapted screenplay: Lion

The Australian screenwriter picked up the first Oscar nomination of his career for his Lion screenplay, adapted from Saroo Brierley’s book A Long Way Home.

Davies wrote the novel Candy, which was made into the 2006 film starring Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish.

GREIG FRASER Cinematography: Lion

Continuing Australia’s great history of cinematographers, Fraser’s stunning landscapes shot in India and Tasmania have been rewarded.

After acclaimed short films, he broke through with the Jane Campion feature film Bright Star, shot the Oscar winner Zero Dark Thirty and has become one of the hottest cinematographers with films including Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

EMILE SHERMAN Best Picture: Lion

Sherman has become one of the film industry’s most respected producers, with 2002’s Rabbit-Proof Fence one of his early movies.

It was The King’s Speech starring Geoffrey Rush that launched him to the top tier, with the film winning him the best picture Oscar in 2011.

ANGIE FIELDER Best Picture: Lion

Fielder is celebrating her first Oscar nomination after working on numerous short films in Australia.

She just returned from the Sundance Film Festival with the Cate Shortland- directed, Teresa Palmer-starring Berlin Syndrome and is in Los Angeles working on a new TV series.

Wright is one of Australia’s best known sound editors and mixers, with one of his first film jobs on 2001’s Lantana and a resume including Somersault, Little Fish, Australia, Red Dog and Mad Max: Fury Road.

ROBERT MACKENZIE Sound Editing and Sound Mixing: Hacksaw Ridge

Mackenzie also has a long, esteemed list of films and TV series on his resume including Animal Kingdom, Mabo, Redfern Now, and worked with Fielder on Berlin Syndrome.
