Watch the ADG Awards

Virtual event means annual Director's Awards is open for all to see.

A reminder that the Australian Directors Guild Awards are being held online tonight and are free to view by the public.

Skitbox’s Sarah Bishop and Greta Lee Jackson will host the 90 minute virtual event which includes musical acts and clips from all the nominated productions.

ADG Executive Director Diana Burnett said: “The ADG Awards are so important to Australian directors but, unless there is continued regulation to support Australian content on our screens, this could be the last time we are able to celebrate the achievements of our own work. Our industry is currently under threat, and there is a real possibility that we may not see any new Australian dramas, documentaries or children’s television on our screens next year and the years to come if the government doesn’t step in with regulation come January 2021.”

Streaming from 6pm AEDT will be available via the ADG website: adg.org.au/awards and via social media @ABCTV and @AustralianDirectorsGuild.
