Oz dramas nominated for Golden Nymph Awards

ANZAC Girls, Secrets & Lies and Love Child have been nominated for the Monte Carlo Television Festival’s Golden Nymph Awards.

Screentime’s ANZAC Girls and Hoodlum’s Secrets & Lies are in the running for best miniseries and Playmaker Media’s Love Child is up for best drama.

ANZAC Girls’ Georgia Flood is nominated for best actress in a miniseries and Love Child’s Jonathan LaPaglia and Secrets & Lies’ Anthony Hayes are vying for best actor in the drama and miniseries categories.

Aussie Frances O'Connor gets a nod for best actress for her work in the British miniseries The Missing.

The Monte Carlo TV Festival and Golden Nymph Awards were founded in 1961 by Prince Rainier III of Monaco to "encourage a new art form, in the service of peace and understanding between the people."

Last year Top of the Lake won three gongs: best miniseries and best actor and actress for Peter Mullan and Elisabeth Moss.

The awards are handed out on the closing night of the festival, which runs June 13-18. The full list of drama and comedy nominees:
