The Australian Academy for Cinema and Television Awards (AACTA) held its industry luncheon presented by Foxtel, on Monday 2 September at Sydney’s Star Casino. It celebrated the achievements of industry practitioners, or the cast and crew, with the pizzazz to make the event special.
Several speakers mentioned the bush fires that were still raging in rural New South Wales, and which were spewing smoke into the city, producing a haze of smoke that could be smelled and even tasted.
