Live: All the glitz and glamour from the AACTA Awards red carpet

Speaking of … congratulations to Rita Carmondy for taking out the AACTA earlier this week for her costume design on Netflix’s Heartbreak High!

I *loved* the looks in Heartbreak High and how the series showcased so many Australian designers while still giving each of their characters a unique aesthetic. Plus, they dressed like actual teenagers!

I’m going to need to see some individual shots of their fits ASAP but so far they’re looking soooo gooood.

Oh my GOODNESS this is LOVELY. Very well done, Mia Morrissey.

The AACTA Awards are being broadcast on Channel 10 from 7:30pm local time.

You can also tune in on demand via 10 Play, Foxtel, Binge and AACTA TV.

But if public broadcasting is more your speed, you’re in the right place.

I think Aisha Dee is my top pick at the moment.

With over 55 awards to present, the AACTAs are actually split up across two ceremonies, with the Industry Awards held on Monday.

Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis dominated the film categories and won seven AACTAs, including:

1. 1.Best Cinematography — Mandy Walker
2. 2.Best Costume Design — Catherine Martin (who is receiving the Longford Lyell Award later tonight)
3. 3.Best Editing —Matt Villa, Jonathan Redmond
4. 4.Best Production Design — Catherine Martin, Karen Murphy, Beverley Dunn
5. 5.Best Sound — David Lee, Wayne Pashley, Andy Nelson, Michael Keller
6. 6.Best Visual Effects or Animation — Warner Bros Pictures
7. 7.Best Hair and Makeup — Shane Thomas, Louise Coulston, Mark Coulier, Jason Baird 

It might be a sign of what’s to come!

Oh this is SO GOOD. Masterchef is up for Best Reality Program tonight.

Any fans of The Bold Type here!?

Aisha Dee is nominated for Best Lead Actress in Film tonight for Sissy and is looking absolutely stunning in this colourful gown.

This is stunning! Such a timeless look. And she looks so happy.

VERY strong start to our red carpet coverage with this absolute bombshell of a couple.

I’m loving the no-tie thing Chris has going on, and Elsa has the perfect amount of jewellery on for this dress. Too early to call best on ground?
