In 2016 our MC was actor/comedian/writer Russell Cheek. The ceremony was held at The Parade Theatre NIDA and the after party took place in beautiful NIDA Foyer amongst an exhibition of exquisite costumes created by the NIDA students. Our special guest for the evening was Dr George Miller who paid tribute to costume designer Norma Moriceau and costume designer and production designer Janet Patterson who both recently passed away.
A HUGE thanks to our wonderful sponsors, George Liddle, Jane Healy, Tamara Popper, Diaan Wajon, all nominees those who entered.
