A MOVIE about mental illness leads the nominations for the second Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) International Awards.
Silver Linings Playbook scored nods in all of the categories available - Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Direction, Best Actor for Bradley Cooper and Best Actress for Jennifer Lawrence.
Cooper will be up against Australia's Hugh Jackman, nominated for his role in Les Miserables, while Lawrence will be competing with local heroines Nicole Kidman (The Paperboy) and Naomi Watts (The Impossible).
Australian writer-director Ben Lewin has been nominated for his work on The Sessions, where he'll be competing with Steven Spielberg (Lincoln) and Ben Affleck (Argo) among others.
AACTA President Geoffrey Rush said in a statement the Academy will be delighted to build upon the success of the inaugural awards, held in 2012.
"As the Australian Academy engages in the international Awards conversation, it's brilliant to see Australian performers and practitioners nominated alongside international talent," Rush said.
AACTA CEO Damian Trewhella says it's important the Australian screen industry recognises the talents of their international peers through these awards.
"Last year's inaugural AACTA International Awards presaged the huge Academy Awards success of The Artist as well as Meryl Streep's win for her performance in The Iron Lady," Trewhella said.
The awards will be presented in Los Angeles in late January, although the Academy is yet to determine a date or a place for the ceremony.
