Laid, Burning Man, My Place and Rake among AWGIE nominations

The Australian Writers’ Guild has announce the nominations for its 44th AWGIE Awards.

The writers of Australia’s best stage, screen and radio scripts have been nominated across 23 awards, including Shaun Grant (Snowtown), Alice Addison (The Hunter), Jonathan Teplitzky (Burning Man) and Tony Krawitz
(The Tall Man) all screening at TIFF.

AWG President, Academy Award nominee Jan Sardi said in a statement, ‘The foundation of all great productions is the script. Each year the AWGIE Awards recognise and celebrate the creators of those foundations, the writers. The nominations for this year’s AWGIE awards clearly demonstrate the high standard of Australian performance writing. Some of the writers honoured today are familiar names, underscoring the consistent excellence of their work and ongoing contribution to our industry. Equally exciting are the new names and titles reflecting the breadth and vibrancy of Australian scriptwriting talent.”
