ICYMI, the 14th Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards were last night.
Celebs were decked out in their fanciest duds for the event, including the likes of Miranda Otto, Phoebe Tonkin, Robbie Williams, Sophie Wilde, Henry Cavill, Aaron Chen, and heaps more.
The glitziest night in Australia’s film and TV industry saw Robbie Williams’ biopic Better Man scoring 14 nominations (a record-breaking number of nominations by the AACTAs), winning four — including Best Film.
In the TV category, Netflix series Boy Swallows Universe dominated and took home six awards.
