The new Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) has honored the film Red Dog with the academy's inaugural best picture award.
The major AACTA Awards for film and television were held in ceremonies at Sydney Opera House on the night of December 31.
The AACTA Awards take over, and continue, the Australian Film Institute Awards which had been in existence since 1958.
Red Dog tells the true story of a wandering red kelpie which helped unite communities in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. A statue has been erected in the Western Australia town of Dampier in memory of Red Dog.
