The Australian Film Industry (AFI) Awards have a new name and a new look, they are now the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA). The reason for the revamp was to bring more awareness and attention to Australian films. Last night the stars took to the Red Carpet in L.A, take a look to see which Aussie favourites wore what.
