There were no doubt a number of happy faces following the announcement of this year's Oscar nominees. Maybe even Michael Haneke cracked the briefest of grins following the announcement that Amour is going forward in both the Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film categories - speaking of which, the lol-speak fake Haneke Twitter account is well worth following.
Australians also had plenty to celebrate, with nods to Hugh Jackman for Les Misérables, Jackie Weaver for the very well represented Silver Linings Playbook and Naomi Watts for The Impossible.
Congratulations are also due to Madman Entertainment for nominations given to films A Royal Affair and Searching For Sugarman. Further details below -
A ROYAL AFFAIR is an epic tale of a passionate and forbidden romance that changed an entire nation. Nominated for ‘Best Foreign Language Film’, A ROYAL AFFAIR was also the highest grossing Danish film ever in Australian cinemas.
A Royal Affair has already won its fair share of awards, including Silver Bear for Best Actor, Mikkel Boe Folsgaard (King Christian) and Silver Bear for Best Screenplay - Berlin International Film Festival, 201. It has also been nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Starring Mads Mikkelsen, Mikkel Boe Følsgaard and Alicia Vikander, A ROYAL AFFAIR is available now on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital.
Nominated for ‘Best Documentary’, SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN is an unforgettable music mystery from the Academy Award-winning producer of MAN ON WIRE.
