Bruce Beresford to receive AACTA Lyell Longford Award, Celeste Barber hosts. Bryan Brown will present honour to Bruce Beresford at next week's AACTA Awards. Esteemed screen director Bruce Beresford will be awarded the 2026 AACTA Longford Lyell Award next week. Bryan Brown will present the award to Bruce Beresford at the AACTA Awards Ceremony on Friday 6 February, to be hosted by comedian Celeste Barber and screening on 10. As I won’t be winning, because I’m not nominated for an AACTA Award this year, I may as well host the show.
