History

Prior to the establishment of AACTA in 2011, the award was presented by AFI at the annual Australian Film Institute Awards (more commonly known as the AFI Awards) from 2009–2010. [1] The award is presented at the AACTA Awards Luncheon, a black tie event which celebrates achievements in film production, television, documentaries and short films. [2] [3]

The name was still used at the inaugural AACTA Awards in 2011, [4] but was dropped in the 2nd edition of the new awards. [5]
