Nominations For The AWGIE Awards
June 22, 2010 11:24
The 43rd annual AWGIE Awards, celebrating the best of Australian scriptwriting, will be presented by The Australian Writers' Guild at Peninsula, Melbourne on Friday, August 20, 2010.
The Australian Writers’ Guild is proud to announce the nominations for this year’s AWGIE Awards – judged by writers for writers and awarded for excellence. The writers of Australia’s best loved stage, screen and radio have been nominated for these coveted awards. They are awards which are given for the script alone, recognising that everything starts with the written word.
This year the Original Screenplay category features three recently released films including 'Lou' by Belinda Chayko, 'Beneath Hill 60' by David Roach and 'Animal Kingdom' by David Michôd. The yet to be released 'Griff the Invisible' by Leon Ford is also nominated.
Two scripts from the hit program 'Underbelly' vie for the Television Mini-Series Adaptation. In the Television Serial category the two perennial favourites 'Home and Away' and 'Neighbours' will slog it out for the top gong.
Suzie Miller’s play, 'Transparency', made possible by the 2008 Kit Denton Fellowship, has been nominated for an AWGIE in the Theatre: Stage category.
The winner of the Major AWGIE Award for most outstanding script of 2010 will also receive the $10,000 Peer Recognition Prize which is proudly sponsored by Copyright Agency Limited.
The AWGIE Awards are open to AWG members and are the only Australian scriptwriting awards judged solely by writers on the basis of the script. Bookings for the 43rd AWGIE Awards open in July.
