If the 3rd annual Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards could be categorised as a David vs Goliath battle between The Rocket and The Great Gatsby, Goliath is the hands-down winner.

Baz Luhrmann.s opulent romantic drama won six awards tonight, for best film, director, adapted screenplay, lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio, supporting actor Joel Edgerton and supporting actress Elizabeth Debicki.

That.s in addition to the six awards in craft categories plus the Aacta award for outstanding achievement in visual effects bestowed on Luhrmann.s film on Tuesday.

Kim Mordaunt's The Rocket, which had 12 nominations versus 14 for Gatsby, had to be content with just one trophy, for Mordaunt.s original screenplay.

The outcome is likely to reignite the debate about the near-impossibility of comparing a lavishly-mounted 3D film financed by Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures, which cost $160 million, with an independently-funded Lao-set film from a first-time director budgeted at about $2 million.

The Great Gatsby dominated. Aacta.s technical and short films awards today, collecting gongs in all six craft categories for which it was nominated, plus the Aacta award for outstanding achievement in visual effects.

The co-production Top of the Lake bagged two TV trophies while Matchbox Pictures. Nowhere Boys, created by Tony Ayres, was named best children.s TV series.

The TV documentary prize went to Redesign My Brain, which explores the revolutionary new science of brain plasticity, written and directed by Paul Scott and produced by Isabel Perez and Scott for ABC TV.

Writer-director Nick Verso's The Last Time I Saw Richard, produced by John Molloy, was honoured as best short fiction film. Developed and funded through Screen Australia.s Springboard program, the short is a prequel to the upcoming feature film Boys In The Trees, tracing the friendship between two teenagers in a mental health clinic in...

Geri Halliwell has claimed she is glad to have lost out on an X Factor judging role, as she'd "have probably f**ked it up".

The star was apparently told last year that she was set for a permanent spot on the panel, but the job went to Nicole Scherzinger after Halliwell was branded "loopy" and "a nutter" following a disastrous guest stint at auditions in Liverpool.

Asked if she was upset to have been snubbed by X Factor, Halliwell replied: "Thank God sometimes I don't get what I want when I want it. I'd have probably f**ked it up."

The 41-year-old also revealed that it was her former Spice Girls rival Mel B who got her a job on Australia's Got Talent.

"Mel B and I had our issues. It's no secret. It was a very fiery, intense relationship," she told The Sun. "But 15 years later, she couldn't...

Dannii Minogue has labelled Sharon Osbourne's return to the X Factor judging panel as "risky".

The former X Factor judge, who had an acrimonious relationship with Osbourne when they served together on the 2007 show, told The Mirror that bringing back former judges is a gamble for showrunner Simon Cowell.

She said: "I read they are going back to the original auditions and Sharon Osbourne is coming back.

"That's risky. Either people will go, 'We have moved on' or go, 'Amazing'. I won't be watching, I haven't watched any of the shows since I left."

Minogue continued: "I think Louis will have fun with Sharon. But with any of those shows around the world, watch this space.

"The audience decide if they like the lineup. Simon has always been ballsy to make those kind of decisions.

"When he moved it to the big live audience I was like, 'Are you kidding?...

The Spice Girls gal is currently in town gearing up for her gig as a panelist on Australia's Got Talent. And if folks were in need of an incentive to watch, well, they've certainly got one now!

Melbourne, June 2: Former 'Spice Girl' member Geri Halliwell, who will be judging this year's 'Australia's Got Talent,' said that she worries about the outfits that are worn by modern-day pop stars.

The former Spice Girl said that it is lovely to keep the innocence and do things sassy without being slutty, News.com.au reported.

Geri Halliwell doesn't ''regret'' the Spice Girls musical 'Viva Forever!'. The singer went to watch the production - which was created by Judy Cramer and Jennifer Saunders and contained the band's songs - in London last night (21.05.13) for the final time before she heads Down Under to be a judge on 'Australia's Got Talent'. Even though the show - which opened in November 2012 - is ending on June 29, months ahead of its' proposed closing date of February 2014, Geri still thinks it was ''good entertainment'' and was unfairly criticised. Writing in a blog post, she said: ''It had a...

Mel B is reportedly being lined up to replace Nicole Scherzinger on The X Factor.

Scherzinger has yet to agree to a £1 million deal to return as a judge on the ITV talent show after having talks last week, according to The Sun.

Producers are said to have offered Mel B a deal in case Scherzinger decides against a return.

The former Pussycat Dolls singer recently hinted that she may not come back as a judge, as she intends to promote her new solo album in November.

"Nicole is causing some worry," an insider claimed. "Bosses want her after her success last year, but she doesn't know if she can give all her energy to the show.

"Producers don't want to be left in the lurch like last year, so Mel is being lined up in case talks fail."

Mel B is now available for a possible stint on the show,...

Melbourne, May 5: Geri Halliwell, who will replace her former band mate Mel B as a judge in Channel 9's 'Australia's Got Talent', has revealed what she'll be looking for when it comes to available talent of the bachelor kind.

Halliwell asserted that she likes sense of humor and a beautiful heart.

The former 'Spice girl' member told the publication that she prefers a bit of height and.

Geri Halliwell has been announced as a new judge on Australia's Got Talent.

She will join this year's judging panel - made up of Dawn French, Timomatic and Kyle Sandilands - as a replacement for fellow Spice Girl Mel B, who was forced to quit the show.

Mel B was announced as a new judge on Australia's Got Talent in March but was forced to leave her position on the show due to a contract dispute with the Seven Network, which airs The X Factor Australia.

Halliwell revealed to A Current Affair that she is "excited" to get to work as a judge on the series.

The 40-year-old said: "Shows like that are brilliant and I love the opportunity they give to normal, everyday people. Plus, I get to come to Australia."

Discussing the judging style she will use, she added: "I think it's unnecessary to be mean for the sake of being mean,...

Scary Spice, a.k.a. Melanie Brown, has apparently been banned from working on "Australia's Got Talent," the down-under version of the talent competition show for which Brown currently judges in the U.S.

The Australian AP reports that the Nsw Supreme Court ruled that Seven Network, the network that broadcast's the Australian "X Factor," had an exclusive agreement with Brown in regards to the "Factor."

When she signed an agreement with Nine to judge "Got Talent" after believing she was not returning to the "X Factor," she violated said agreement with Seven and is banned from working on a rival station until Jan. 31, 2014.

It remains to be seen if Brown will end up back on "The X Factor," but either way, Nine has to find a replacement on "Got Talent."

A Seven insider tells the AP, "It's about making sure contracts are honoured. We could have just let her go,...

The former Spice Girls singer was due to take on the role of judge in the channel Nine talent show, but a judge has now ruled an injunction to prevent her from working for any Australian TV network other than Seven. The feisty star has been embroiled in legal drama since 'X Factor' channel Seven's rival network Nine poached her for their similar show, despite singing an exclusive contract with Seven until January 31, 2014. According to the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, Justice David Hammerschlag said on Thursday (18.04.13): ''This matter concluded...

She’s definitely one of the most in-demand stars in the land down under, and Melanie Brown's multiple shows are warring over her.

A judge has signed a restraining order preventing the former Spice Girl from appearing on Channel Nine’s new version of “Australia’s Got Talent,” despite an official report that she’d joined the cast.

The reason? Channel Seven already has the rights to Melanie for their program “The X Factor,” through 2014, so it would be unfair competition.

Furthermore, the court ordered Mel’s hubby Stephen Belafonte not to “assist, induce, or otherwise procure Brown” to enter into a deal with anyone other than Channel Seven.

A rep from the network declared, "As the matter is before the courts, it would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage."

Mel previously told press she was thrilled about her “Australia’s Got Talent” gig, calling it...

Sharon Osbourne is said to be edging ever closer to an X Factor comeback.

Osbourne - who originally appeared on the ITV reality singing competition between 2004 and 2007 - could replace Tulisa Contostavlos on the panel if a deal is concluded.

"Simon is a huge fan of Sharon," an insider told The Sun. "Things are looking good for her. She is in pole position."

Mel B, who appeared as a guest judge on the UK show last year, has apparently ruled herself out of a full-time seat at the judges' table.

The Spice Girls singer has committed to both America's Got Talent - a show which Osbourne herself left last summer - and Australia's Got Talent.

Osbourne has remained involved with The X Factor in a guest capacity since her departure, assisting Louis Walsh at Judges' Houses in the most recent series of the UK show.

Dannii MInogue has reportedly signed up to be a judge on the Australian version of The X Factor.

The former UK judge is said to have closed a six-figure deal with producers to join Ronan Keating on the judging panel, The Mirror reports.

Minogue turned down an offer to return to the UK series last year, but was reportedly "delighted" to be offered a spot on the Australian counterpart.

The 41-year-old is expected to be formally announced as a new judge on the series tomorrow (March 19).

A source said: "Dannii sees Australia as her home, and so this offer works perfectly for her family life with her son Ethan. Being on the Australian show also means she doesn't need to cross paths with Simon Cowell, and that is no bad thing either."

"He has very little to do with the Aussie version and she didn't even need to speak to him about this deal.

Dawn French is the second judge to be confirmed for the 2013 series of Australia's Got Talent.

The Vicar of Dibley comic joins Spice Girl Mel B on the Aussie version of Simon Cowell's reality series.

French made her reality TV debut in 2012, appearing as a judge on Andrew Lloyd Webber's Superstar.

Nine bosses promised a "fresh and fun approach" to the reality talent contest in a statement issued on Wednesday (October 31).
