2023 AACTA International Awards nominations: ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once,’ ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ lead

The Banshees of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All At Once led the AACTA International Awards nominations, the Australian equivalent to the Academy Awards.

The two films join Avatar: The Way of Water and Elvis with Best Film and Best Direction nominations. Top Gun: Maverick made the cut for Best Film but missed Best Direction to The Fabelmans for Steven Spielberg. Several films earned two or more nods, including Babylon, The Stranger and Triangle of Sadness.

Awards are handed out for the best films of 2022 regardless of the country of origin, and are the international counterpart to the awards specifically for Australian films, where Elvis dominated. The flashy Baz Luhrmann biopic earned four nominations from the international awards.

On television, The Bear (categorized as a drama here), Ozark, Heartbreak High, Hacks and The White Lotus were among the shows to earned two nominations.

Here is the full list of nominations. Winners will be announced in January.
