Warwick Thornton's indigenous love story "Samson & Delilah" has earned eight Inside Film Award nominations among a strong line-up of films this year.
"Samson & Delilah" was closely followed by political thriller "Balibo," which has seven nominations, and animated feature "Mary & Max," with four nominations.
"Samson & Delilah" and "Balibo" were also nominated for Best Feature Film alongside Lebanese-Australian crime thriller "Cedar Boys."
The Inside Film Awards are largely determined by public votes and this year received 191,433 ratings – more than triple the number received in 2008.
The nominations were announced this morning in Sydney by host Eddie Perfect, actor David Wenham, Beneath Hill 60 director Jeremy Sims and Packed to the Rafters actress Jessica McNamee.
The 2009 IF Awards will be held in Sydney on November 18 at Sydney’s Luna Park.
