The AACTA Industry Awards were announced last night, presented by Foxtel Group, in a low key virtual ceremony hosted by comedian Claire Hooper. Honouring the work of Australia’s screen craft practitioners, 31 awards were revealed, with more to come on Wednesday night at the flashy televised Sydney Opera House ceremony, complete with red carpet.
SBS’s New Gold Mountain and the ABC’s The Newsreader and Fires were the biggest winners of the Industry Awards, taking home half the categories.
