In a moment that captures Cate Shortland's humility, she takes time in her Best Director award acceptance speech at the IF (Inside Film) Awards in 2004 to thank and pay tribute to Gillian Armstrong's My Brilliant Career (Australia, 1979) for inspiring her to make films of her own.
Somersault cleaned up at the IF Awards in 2004, also winning the awards for Best Feature Film, Actress (Abbie Cornish), Script (Shortland), Cinematography (Robert Humphreys) and Music (Decoder Ring). The film also won a whopping 13 awards at the AFI (later AACTA) Awards.
