Inside the AACTA Awards 2024: Australia's biggest stars will be at the film industry's night of nights as the ceremony makes its debut in Queensland

The 2024 AACTA Awards kick off in Queensland next Saturday, with some of Australia's biggest stars set to perform.

For the first time, the Gold Coast has snatched the prestigious honors away from Sydney on a three-year deal.

This year's “Oscars of Australia” will take place at Surfers Paradise at the Home of the Arts (HOTA) and will be attended by famous actresses Margot Robbie and Cate Blanchett.

Margot, 33, made a low-key arrival at Brisbane International Airport last Saturday, just a week before the ceremony.

She is expected to receive the AACTA Trailblazer Award.
