This year, we've had to carve out a whole new way of living.

But today, there's finally a sense of normality as the red carpet is rolled out for the local entertainment industry's night of nights - the 10th Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards.

However in a bid to keep the event as COVID-safe as possible, two ceremonies will be held - a film ceremony and a TV/online ceremony.

The 2020 AACTA Awards presented by Foxtel will be hosted by Rove McManus, Susie Youssef and Tom Gleeson.

Names like Deborah Hutton, Rove McManus and Rob Collins have led the bevy of A-list stars turning heads on the red carpet at the The Star in Sydney.

George MacKay, Sam Neill, Richard Roxburgh, Toby Wallace and Hugo Weaving will battle it out in the Best Lead Actor category, while Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Laura Gordon, Elisabeth Moss, Lupita Nyong'o and Eliza Scanlen are up for the Best Lead Actress gong.

On the small screen, The Amazing Race Australia, Australian Survivor: All Stars, The Block, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, Masterchef Australia and The Real Dirty Dancing have been nominated for Best Reality Series.
