Winners were announced at the Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles hosted by multi‐award winner and AACTA President Geoffrey Rush who shared the stage with fellow Australian industry presenters including Jacki Weaver, Stuart Beattie, Anthony LaPaglia and Yvonne Strahovski.
Blue Jasmine’s Australian leading lady, Cate Blanchett was called to the stage by AACTA President Geoffrey Rush to accept the AACTA International Award for Best Actress.
Blanchett’s acclaimed performance as Jasmine in the Woody Allen film has been tipped to win a raft of awards in the 2014 International Awards season including a possible second Oscar which, if occurs, would make her the first Australian actress in history to be awarded twice by AMPAS.
AACTA President, Geoffrey Rush, said: “The AACTA International Awards are Australia’s international stamp of screen success. They recognise our international counterparts, add an Australian voice to international Academy discussion, and celebrate our fellow Australians working internationally.”
Award-winning actor and comedian Shane Bourne has been announced as the host of the 3rd Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards (AACTA) Ceremony in Sydney, to be broadcast Thursday 30 January on Network Ten at 8.30pm.
An Australian household name, Shane has garnered fans from his days on radio; through to his dramatic work in MDA and Kokoda Track, as well as for his comedic talents in Thank God You’re Here.
