The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) has announced 14 films nominated across seven categories – Best Film, Best Direction, Best Screenplay, Best Lead Actor, Best Lead Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress – for the 4th AACTA International Awards. For those following the circuit, the nominees should look familiar and preditictive of what we’ll see come Oscar time.

"Birdman" earned the most love with seven nominations in almost each of the seven categories (earning two nominations for Best Supporting Actress). "Boyhood" and "Imitation Game" trailed with five, with "Whiplash" earning a heap of praise that, thanks to the Academy haziness, it may have trouble replicating.

The nominations saw a few outliers squeeze their way in, including Essie Davis for "The Babadook" and Andy Serkis for "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes."

Winners will be announced in Los Angeles on Jan 31, 2015 at the G’Day USA Gala featuring the 4th AACTA International Awards.
