Even though i live in Australia i haven't been able to see it untill ages. :angry:

I have an autistic brother and i think Rhys Wakefield + Cast did the best job with this movie, i loved it :lol:

I haven't watched it yet. There are little interview cards inside the cover, so I'm hoping there are actual video interviews too lol.

There should be

* Audio Commentary with Director Elissa Down

I found this by the way:

Black Balloon sweeps IF awards nominations

October 1, 2008 - 12:19PM

Comic drama The Black Balloon has swept the Inside Film (IF) Awards nominations, with its stars Gemma Ward and Rhys Wakefield up for the top acting gongs.

The semi-autobiographical movie by first-time feature film director Elissa Down picked up 10 nominations, including best feature, best director and best script.

The coming-of-age story about a family dealing with an autistic son, has already picked up a Crystal Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival, as well as the top prizes for Down at both the Australian Writers Guild awards and the Australian Directors Guild awards.

In her first major acting role, Perth-born supermodel Ward has been nominated in the best actress category, alongside Maeve Dermody for Black Water and Dutch actress Monic Hendrickx who starred in Unfinished Sky.

Wakefield will go up against Unfinished Sky's William McInnes and Men's Group actor Grant Dodwell for the best actor award.

The other movies in contention for best feature are Men's Group and Son of a Lion.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony on the Gold Coast on November 13.

Go Rhys! :o

I don't like his chances against William McInnes (after he got nominated TWICE in the SAME category at the Logies <_<) but Rhys definitely deserves it! He was beyond awesome :D

I think he should come here and post his nominations in the Anti-Lucas thread, if anyone was ever silly enough to start one :P

EDIT: I did it for him. I couldn't resist ^_^
