The 13th Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards (generally known as the AACTA Awards) is an awards ceremony to celebrate the best Australian films and television of 2023. The main ceremony took place on 10 February 2024 at the Home of the Arts on the Gold Coast and was broadcast on Network 10 and Arena.
Previously held towards the end of each year, the date was moved to early 2024 instead of December 2023, which was designed to bring the Australian ceremony in line with the global awards season and the international awards schedule.
In 2024, the previously single award for Best Casting was split by film and television. Awards for comedy were expanded to include Best Acting in a Comedy, Best Comedy Entertainment Program and Best Online Drama or Comedy.
