AACTA International Awards nominations close February 19

We have just announced the 10th AACTA International Awards nominees, honouring screen excellence across seven film categories and, for the first time, four new TV categories!
 
With a stellar line-up of nominees, Round Two Voting is now open and will determine the AACTA International Award winners, and you too can vote for the global series from 2020 that got you talking, captured your imagination or made you laugh by becoming a member today.  
 
Were you mesmerised by the rise of chess prodigy and orphan Beth Harmon in The Queens Gambit? Were you hooked on the political rivalries and romance of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign in The Crown? Was it the easy laughs brought on by sharp writing and unique characters that had you binging on Schitt’s Creek? Or was it the awkward vampire humour in Taika Waititi’s What We Do In The Shadows that brought you to happy tears?
