Jessica Hobbs' won for direction in a TV mini series for ABC1's Devils' Dust. Despite being a multiple AFI/AACTA Award winner, it was Hobbs' first ADG win. She won over Daina Reid (Howzat! Kerry Packer's War) and Ian Watson (Underbelly Badness Ep 5) in the category.
Shortland, who acknowledged the plethora of female directors, won in a strong feature film category featuring her husband Tony Krawitz (Dead Europe), Kieran Darcy-Smith (Wish You Were Here) and Wayne Blair (The Sapphires). (Article by MICHAEL BODEY) http://bit.ly/1487iTd
