The countdown to Australia’s top film and television awards is well and truly underway, with the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) today announcing that much-loved Australian actor Stephen Curry will host this year’s Awards Ceremony, televised on Channel Seven.

Held on Wednesday 5 December at The Star Event Centre in Sydney – home of the AACTA Awards – the 2018 AACTA Awards presented by Foxtel will celebrate AFI | AACTA’s 60th anniversary as Australia’s longest standing national screen culture and industry development organisation.

The Awards Ceremony will not only celebrate the top screen achievements of the past year, but will also look back on the Australian Academy and Australian screen industry’s incredible history, talented practitioners and world-class productions.

An AFI Award-winning actor (for starring as industry stalwart Graham Kennedy in THE KING in 2007), Stephen returns to host this year’s special AACTA Awards Ceremony, last hosting the Ceremony in 2008 when AFI celebrated its 50th Anniversary.

We're thrilled to announce that Stephen Curry will host the 2018 AACTA Awards Ceremony presented by @Foxtel! Tickets are on sale now via the link in our bio. * A past AFI and AACTA Award winner and nominee, #StephenCurry last hosted the Awards back in 2008 for our 50th Anniversary, returning this year to celebrate 60 years of AFI | AACTA at the Australian film and television industry's night-of-nights. * #AACTAs #AACTAAwards #60yearsAFIAACTA

“I am so thrilled (and weeing my pants a little bit) to be hosting the 60th Anniversary of the AFI | AACTA Awards,” said Stephen Curry. “It’s been ten long years since they’ve let me take the reins of the night and for some ridiculous reason, they’ve asked me back. I can’t wait to celebrate one of the most outstanding years in the history of our industry. And as excited as I am to be hosting, I just can’t shake the feeling that Russell Crowe said he was busy.”

“Stephen Curry is not only one of Australia’s most well-loved and respected actors, he is also a long-time supporter of AFI | AACTA, having helmed the 50th Anniversary AFI Awards back in 2008 – among our finest awards ceremonies to date,” said AFI | AACTA CEO Damian Trewhella.

“We are thrilled to have Stephen return to host our 60th Anniversary Awards Ceremony and look forward to what is sure to be an amazing show
