The 2023 Oscar nominations were released today, and six Kiwis are currently up for awards.
Sound engineer Michael Hedges is among them, having been nominated for the 'Best Sound' award for Avatar: The Way Of Water.
Hedges says he and the rest of the Avatar sound team have spent the day celebrating and receiving support from well-wishers and they look forward to the ceremony.
"It's amazing, you get dressed up, you see the stars, you walk the red carpet, it's a night of celebration. And we should all celebrate on such successes, and Kiwis celebrate so well."
