Tim Winton’s cloudstreet and Selling Houses Australia Extreme were among the homegrown programs that did well at the Australian Subscription Television Awards last night in Sydney but Molly Meldrum stole the show when he presented Fox Sports with the award for channel of the year.
Showcase's cloudstreet won three awards, being for most outstanding drama, most oustanding performance by a female actor for Kerry Fox and best new talent for Lara Robinson. David Wenham was the third Australian actor recognised on the night: for his performance in TV1's Killing Time.
The Lifestyle Channel’s Selling Houses Australia Extreme was honoured in the section voted for by subscribers, winning the category for favourite local program and earning resident property expert Andrew Winter the crown for favourite male personality. Another Lifestyle personality, Donna Hay, was presented with the equivalent award for women.
The Amazing World of Gumball on the Cartoon Network (childrens), Balls of Steel Australia on the Comedy Channel (light entertainment), Kalgoorlie Cops on the Crime & Investigation Network (reality), Australia’s Great Flood on National Geographic (documentary) and Planet Cake on LifeStyle FOOD (lifestyle) all won their categories.
The tenth awards were held at Sydney Theatre at Walsh Bay. Highlights from the red carpet and the acceptance speeches will be shown at BigPond Video Online and T-Box from tomorrow.
