Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix’s acclaimed miniseries about the Australian wellness scammer Belle Gibson, has scored 20 nominations at the 2026 Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (Aacta) awards, while the horror movie Bring Her Back leads the film categories with 16 nominations.

Apple Cider Vinegar stars the US actor Kaitlyn Dever as Gibson, who built an empire on false claims that she beat terminal brain cancer through her diet and alternative medicine. Dever is nominated for best lead actress for her performance, alongside her co-star Alycia Debnam-Carey, who plays fellow influencer Milla Blake.
