Top Of The Lake wint beste serie op AACTA Awards

Afgelopen week woensdag werden in Sydney de Australische Oscars uitgereikt. De 'Australian Academy of Cinema and Television' koos voor Top Of The Lake: China Girl als beste drama serie. De serie die in het totaal vier awards kreeg, won in de categorieën 'best television drama series', 'best lead actress in a television drama' (Elisabeth Moss), 'best guest or supporting actress in a television drama' (Nicole Kidman) en best guest or supporting actor in a television drama (Ewen Leslie). De meeste prijzen – vijf stuks – gingen echter naar Seven Types Of Ambiguity, de sterke serie van de makers van The Slap, waarvan wij de eerste twee afleveringen konden zien op Séries Mania.

Murder: Killer Cop dat samen met Top Of The Lake: China Girl de lijst van nominaties met 11 stuks aanvoerde, won slechts één award, voor ‘best costume design’.
