In previous years, the ceremony has been hosted by Australian entertainment heavyweights like Eddie Perfect, Julia Zemiro and David Campbell, while last year’s edition alone featured winners like Cate Blanchett, Richard Roxburgh, Robyn Nevin and John Frost AM. This year, the ceremony will take place on the set of Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Les Misérables, which is set to open next week.
