IT is shaping up as a golden year at the Oscars for Australia, with Cate Blanchett, Catherine Martin and a posse of other Australians nominated for Oscars.
Martin received a double Oscar nomination - costume design and production design - for The Great Gatsby, a similar feat she achieved for Moulin Rouge! more than a decade ago.
Martin's Aussie collaborator Beverley Dunn joins her on the production design nomination, but Baz Luhrmann was snubbed for a directing nomination for the film.
Battling Martin for the costume design Oscar is Sydney's Michael Wilkinson who was nominated for American Hustle.
Australian visual effects wizard Dave Clayton has been nominated for his work on The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
Clayton was also nominated last year for the first Hobbit film.
The film about Australian Mary Poppins author PL Travers, Saving Mr Banks, received a cold shoulder from the Academy.
It received just one nomination, original score.
It was hoped Saving Mr Banks' Australian producer Ian Collie would get a best picture nod and screenwriter Sue Smith for original screenplay, but they were bypassed.
The Samuel Goldwyn Theatre inside the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences headquarters already had an Australian flavour before Blanchett and the other Aussie names were announced, with former Home & Away star-turned Thor superhero Chris Hemsworth on stage helping reveal the nominations.
Blanchett was nominated for her role as a New York socialite on the decline in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine.
The 44-year-old has been nominated five previous times - Elizabeth in 1999, The Aviator (2005), Notes on a Scandal (2007), I'm Not There (2008) and Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2008).
The Aviator, as supporting actress, was her only win.
Blanchett is the red hot favourite to win the best actress Oscar for Blue Jasmine after claiming the Golden Globe on Sunday.
The Oscar ceremony will be held on March 2.
