I love it. The great thing about being here is that we are all actually here," he told Confidential. To be honest, we're running this institute with a lot of passion and support from all areas of the industry: the artists, the technicians, the distributors. Of her AACTA lifetime achievement award, to be received on Thursday, Weaver said: "Usually when you get a lifetime achievement award people suspect you're going to cark it," she said. I wasn't expecting this or the Order of Australia medal (received on Sunday) but I'm very happy to accept them.
