Paul Hogan has been awarded one of the highest honours in the Australian film industry at a ceremony in Sydney, as part of this week’s 6th Aacta award celebrations.
The Aacta awards have been honouring the country’s TV and film industry for six years, as the continuum of the AFI awards which have been running since 1958.
He said it felt “mystifying” to receive the honour, and was awestruck to be introduced by Aacta president and Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush.
The craft awards were held at an industry luncheon on Monday.
