Aussies will be strongly represented at the 94th Academy Awards next month with Nicole Kidman nominated for Best Actress for her depiction of Lucille Ball in the drama Being The Ricardos, which she described as the “hardest role I’ve ever done.” New Zealand’s Jane Campion swept the field of nominations that were announced overnight, including for producing, directing and writing the Netflix film The Power of the Dog. 25yo Aussie Kodi Smit-McPhee got a nod for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Campion’s psychological drama/western, as did the film’s editor, Peter Sciberras. The film received 12 nominations. And Aussie cinematographer Greig Fraser was recognised for the sci-fi blockbuster Dune which received 10 nominations. See the full list of nominees here. And never fear, the Razzies are here too… They’re the counterbalance to the Oscars where Hollywood stars accept gongs for the worst performances of the year. Netflix’s Diana the Musical topped the list with 9 nominations. Yikes… As per tradition, the ‘winners’ will be announced on 26 March – the day before the Oscars.
