Cate Blanchett-produced mini series Stateless and Shannon Murphy's feature film directing debut Babyteeth dominated proceedings at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards (AACTA Awards).
At a ceremony on Monday night at The Star in Sydney, immigration drama Stateless grabbed 13 awards including best telefeature or miniseries, best screenplay in television and all four acting awards across television drama. Outback detective series, Mystery Road was named best drama. In film, Babyteeth received nine awards on Monday including best film and best direction for Murphy.
Neither Russell Crowe, recently named as president of AACTA, nor Nicole Kidman, appointed as VP, were able to attend.
Crowe however sent a video message that encouraged ambition, spoke of green shoots both after the wildfires and the COVID crisis, and hope that the recent production sector recovery can be made sustainable.
"I want to encourage the federal government to use this time to set a platform so this rise in production can be facilitated to continue. Given the right support, the screen industry can be used as a powerful driver of economic recovery," Crowe said.
The results on Monday were closely aligned with the AACTA Industry awards presented on Friday in a wider selection of craft categories. Then Stateless picked up six AACTA Industry prizes, and Babyteeth two.
While Australia-China political relations currently plumb new depths, AACTA gave two prizes to Chinese films. Better Days was named best Asian film, and The Eight Hundred won for best VFX, much of which was provided by Australian firm Rising Sun.
The Byron Kennedy Award was also presented, recognising the impact of Australian low-budget genre filmmaking. Jennifer Kent, director of 2014 breakout The Babadook, was named the winner.
Steve Bedwell, Bryan Cockerill and Geraldine Coy jointly received the inaugural AACTA Reg Grundy Award, established to support new voices in screen entertainment and fast track original productions. Their prize was $50,000 of cash and development funds to create for their television entertainment concept, Seven Pups.
