The film Birdman dominated the international section of the 4th annual Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Awards on Sunday.
The AACTA International Awards are part of the main annual AACTA Awards (formerly the AFI Awards). The international event is held annually in Los Angeles to recognise film excellence regardless of geography. The 2015 ceremony was for the first time held in conjunction with the annual G’Day LA Gala event, celebrating Australia Day.
