AACTA Awards 2012
There were no '2011' AFI/AACTA awards because the ceremony was moved from the end of the year (which would have been 2011) to the beginning (that is, of 2012). One result of that is the general release in Australia of Burning Man (Jonathan Teplitzky) on 17 November 2011 was too late for the film to be nominated in what became the 2012 Awards. In the list below winners are in red.
