The Best Director trophy, however, went to Cate Shortland for her German-language World War II drama Lore. The film's star Saskia Rosendahl won earned the film an additional prize for Best Performance by a Young Actor.

Wayne Blair's hit The Sapphires had also led along with Wish You Were Here with nine nominations. It came away with just two awards, for Best Cinematography and Original Music Score.
