As is the case there is always an especially glittering Red Carpet at the AACTA awards. Naturally Nicole Kidman sparkled and was truly happy to be accompanied by her mum, and her niece Lucia Hawley.
Mirroring Australian politics the AACTA Awards have looked for greater cooperation with the Asian cinema markets with the AACTA Asian Awards. These winners also walked the Red Carpet together with other Australian nominees, many with a multicultural background. Unlike the torrential rain which plagued the Aria Awards a week earlier, the AACTA Red Carpet took place on the 5th December in sparkling sunshine in its traditional position at the Star Event Centre in Pirrama Road, Pyrmont, facing our glorious harbour.
