FAQs

  • How is Live by the Lake different to the AACTA Awards presented by BINGE that's also on Friday 5th February?

    The 2027 AACTA Awards: Live! by the Lake is a Live Viewing Party style event where you view the AACTA Awards live on the big screen while it unfolds in the theatre next door. Whilst the 2027 AACTA Awards presented by BINGE is theatre style seating (in rows) with no food and beverage service during the event, Live! By The Lake is seated at banquet tables and guests enjoy a late lunch and free flowing drinks throughout the event. If you want to mingle with the industry and toast the winners, Live! By The Lake is the event for you!

    Guests at the 2027 AACTA Awards: Live! by the Lake still get to walk the AACTA Red Carpet and access the Official After Party.
