Netflix’s “The Irishman” garnered the most nominations for the Australian Academy of Cinema & Television Arts International Awards.
It picked up six nods, ahead of five for “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood,” and the four each for “Joker,” “Bombshell,” and “Parasite.”Aacta’s international awards seek to “(honor) the best achievements in film excellence, regardless of geography,” but the nominations this year have thrown up curious anomalies.
