No, its not a blow against the sordid competitive ethos of capitalism, but a group of awards given by acclamation. And extended entry dates to August 14th.
The Australian Directors Guild is proud to announce the recipients of
the three non-competitive ADG awards for 2008: Bruce Petty will receive
the ADG Outstanding Achievement Award; Tom Zubrycki will receive the
Cecil Holmes Award and Kate Woods will receive the Michael Carson Award for Excellence In Television Drama Direction. These award recipients were announced by the ADG as the general call for entries deadline for the competitive 2008 ADG Awards was extended to Thursday 14th August.
