"Well...we...maybe, maybe that's all I can say," Miller said during an interview with Network Nine's Today Show.

Although Miller didn't take home the Oscar for directing, narrowly missing out to The Revenant's Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, the dystopian action thriller took home six categories.

Production designers Colin Gibson and Lisa Thompson took the first award and were shortly followed by the makeup and hairstyling team of Lesley Vanderwalt, Elka Wardega and Damian Martin.

Australian film editor Margaret Sixel as well as Aussie sound editor David White and sound mixer Ben Osmo won their categories while English costume designer Jenny Beavan also shared in the Oscar triumph.
