Haha I can't believe it got best and worst. That's such a Baz-movie thing to do.

Certainly does polarize movie goers.
Better to evoke such opinions rather than none at all!

Here's an article about how 'Australia' and 'The Dark Knight' took home the most awards at the 2009 FilmInk Awards! Pretty great article!
:-D
LINK: http://www.filmink.com.au/news/australia-and-the-dark-knight-named-the-best-of-2009/ AUSTRALIA AND THE DARK KNIGHT NAMED THE BEST OF 2009The 2009 FILMINK Awards have been announced, with Australia and The Dark Knight taking the most honours.
The results of the 2009 FILMINK Awards poll have been tallied, and the big winners with moviegoers are The Dark Knight and Australia.
The FILMINK Awards are the only movie awards where the punters who line up at cinema box offices around Australia get to have their say in categories such as Best Film, Worst Film, Best Documentary, Best Tentpole Movie and Best True Original, and more Aussie-centric categories such as Best Australian Newcomer, Best Performance By An Aussie In An Overseas Movie and, of course, Best Australian Film. And what genuine movie poll wouldn't ask moviegoers for their pick for the year's Best Sort?
"This year's results are another exciting reflection of the Australian moviegoer," reckons FILMINK Magazine Publisher Dov Kornits. "Once again, films like The Dark Knight and Australia, which were snubbed at other movie awards ceremonies, proved very popular with our voters."
After three years as an open-to-the-public event featuring celebrities, filmmakers and film industry bigwigs, the 2009 FILMINK Awards marks a transitional year for the popular party as we launch FILMINK TV, an online vodcast component of FILMINK Magazine. The plan is to move the FILMINK Awards - both voting and the announcement of winners - completely online in 2010.
"Having watched other awards shows - most of which have degenerated into backslapping affairs shown in dreary TV timeslots - I felt that we needed to take the FILMINK Awards to the people. At the end of the day, that's what FILMINK is really about," says Dov Kornits.
Stay tuned for exciting announcements about the 2010 FILMINK Awards, but for now, here are the winners...(and runners-up in order) PLEASE VOTE FOR MY AD IN THE DORITOS TV ADVERTISEMENT COMPETITION - GO TO http://www.doritos.com.au/?sq=154 THEN SEARCH FOR 'Whatever It Takes', THEN VOTE FOR IT! |

The AFI Awards site has got up its movies that are running for nominations - of course, Australia is there!
I really really hope the voters dont snub it just because it was such a big film....but knowing the afi they probably will.... :-(

thanks for the heads up curdey, I've been waiting for this!
Surely we have to get some awards as a result. I'll be interested to see which other films it is up against.

Okay one and all, time to get your voting gloves on NOW! The Aussie IF Awards are coming soon, and you NEED to vote '5' for 'Australia' - you
don't need to fill it out for every film, you can just fill it out for Australia *although it would help to vote '1' for the movies that are in
strong competition with Australia, like Samson & Delilah and Balibo etc. :-P*
GO TO THIS WEBSITE TO VOTE NOW - http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=HgtF0vsp92ekbo56ByNZDQ_3d_3d P.S. Also, you can rate Australia here - http://www.ifawards.com.au/rating/film/australia - this rating also goes towards consideration for the winners of the awards!!! PLEASE SUPPORT BAZ, NICOLE, HUGH AND EVERYONE THAT WORKED ON THIS FILM BY VOTING!

Good to see Australia nominated for so many awards, but disappointed to note that it has been snubbed for Best Film and, particularly, Best Direction. Poor Baz
