Babyteeth wins Best Film at AACTA Award and sweeps film categories
Australian coming of age drama Babyteeth, directed by Shannon Murphy, has swept the film categories for the AACTA Awards, Australia’s equivalent of the Oscars.
The film, which stars Eliza Scanlen as a teenager with cancer who falls in love for the first time, won 12 awards at the first of two socially distanced AACTA Award ceremonies at The Star in Sydney on Monday.
Babyteeth was nominated and won in 12 out of 13 possible film categories this year, including Best Film where it was up against Leigh Whannell’s horror reboot The Invisible Man (starring Elisabeth Moss) as well as Helen Reddy biopic I Am Woman, punk adaptation The True History of the Kelly Gang, coming-of-age dramedy H is for Happiness, and horror film Relic.
