AACTAs add TV to international awards

AACTA members can now vote in 4 new global TV categories.

The AACTA Awards have added four television categories to their upcoming AACTA International Awards.

These are voted by members to be presented on Saturday 6 March, usually in LA.

“Since March 2020, the pandemic has accelerated the streaming boom with many of us hungry for content during lockdown. While we were forced to stay home to curb the spread of coronavirus, binge viewing brought us together and gave us a sense of connection, and we experienced not only a change in the way we consume content but also the speed of our consumption,” said AACTAs in a statement.

“To acknowledge the rise in our consumption of international Streaming & TV Series, we are including four new Series categories in our upcoming AACTA International Awards including Best Drama Series, Best Comedy Series, Best Actor in a Series and Best Actress in a Series.”

The four categories have pre-determined lists for members to choose their favourites, which skews to US / UK titles. Voting is not open to general public.
