The nominees were announced about half an hour ago for the Australian Film Institute awards. Suburban Mayhem received the most nominations of all with 12, yet failed to get a Best Film nomination. Unfortunately the nominations haven't been posted yet so all I can tell you are the Best Film nominees. Candy, Jindabyne, Kenny and Ten Canoes. Well, I got three out of four. I had Kokoda instead of Candy. I prefer Candy but I'd prefer something else. The other day I thought my love for Jindabyne was waning and then I just remembered more scenes from it and then I decided "No. It's still brilliant", and I was happy.I may have anticipated the Suburban Mayhem thing if I had actually seen it (it's the only eligible release I missed) because some of the pre-release reviews weren't that glowing, but my friend Simon loved it and last night on At The Movies Margaret Pomeranz said it was one of if not the best Aussie film of the year. Interesting.
More later when the nominees are actually released (do it now, fuckers!!!)
