The winners of the 11th AACTA International Awards were revealed by the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA), with Netflix's The Power Of The Dog taking home three trophies. (To see the full list of laureates, scroll below.)

Best Film, Best Lead Actor in Film (Benedict Cumberbatch), and Best Supporting Actor (Australian Kodi Smit-Mcphee) were all awarded to Jane Campion's western.

Being The Ricardos, a biopic from Aaron Sorkin's Amazon Studios, received two AACTAs: for Lead Actress Nicole Kidman and for Sorkin's writing. This is Kidman’s 7th AACTA.

Belfast, directed by Kenneth Branagh, led the pack of candidates going into the Oscars, with Judi Dench's Supporting Actress performance earning her a prize.

Last year, AACTA expanded the awards to include international television, awarding Best Drama Series to Succession this year and Best Comedy Series to The White Lotus. For his role as Armond, Murray Bartlett won the award for Best Lead Actor in a Series.

Said Bartlett, “I am thrilled and honored to be celebrated in Australia, my home, by Australians who feel like family to me and by the Australian film and TV industry that inspired me my whole life and continues to inspire me. Thank you, it’s a very meaningful recognition for me.”

For her role as Mare Sheehan in Mare Of Easttown, Kate Winslet won the AACTA International Award for Best Lead Actress in a Series. She previously won an AACTA for her performance in The Dressmaker in 2015.

Said Winslet, “I have always felt so supported by AACTA, I feel sometimes a bit like an honorary Australian because you have acknowledged me before now and it always means a huge amount to be included, to be brought into your film and television community in this way means a lot. I have such admiration for the skill of actors and filmmakers in Australia, so thank you.”

AACTA CEO Damian Trewhella commented, “After another challenging year for our industry, it’s fantastic that we’re able to honor the films and TV shows that have kept us entertained at a time we’ve needed it most. The caliber of nominees is outstanding, and we are overjoyed by the Australian representation across both film and TV. We wish this year’s winners and nominees all of the best throughout the 2022 Award season and look forward to seeing what they do next.”
