The AACTA Awards ceremony were televised on Network Ten.

The Academy announced new television craft categories on 16 May 2013. However, a lack of funds and loss of a naming rights sponsor caused other categories to be either discontinued or merged with other awards. This included the merger of documentary craft categories into the new television craft prizes, which caused anger in the documentary making community. Due to the outcry, the Academy announced that it had received industry support and reinstated the documentary craft categories.
The nominees were announced during a press conference on 3 December 2013 in Sydney.<ref name="aacta.org">[http://aacta.org/media/238619/final_3rdaacta_awards%20nominations_announcement.pdf Australian Academy announces 3rd AACTA Awards Nominees, renewed partnerships with Destination NSW and The Star, and new partners Foxtel and Audi] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131214084358/http://aacta.org/media/238619/final_3rdaacta_awards%20nominations_announcement.pdf |date=2013-12-14 }}, Retrieved 14 December 2013.</ref> ''The Great Gatsby'' (2013) received the most feature-film nominations with fourteen, earning a nomination in all categories, except for Best Original Screenplay.<ref name=FilmTVNoms>{{cite web | title=3rd AACTA Nominees by Production | publisher=AACTA | url=http://aacta.org/media/238616/3rd%20aacta%20awards%20nominees_all_by%20production.pdf | access-date=14 December 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131214084401/http://aacta.org/media/238616/3rd%20aacta%20awards%20nominees_all_by%20production.pdf | archive-date=14 December 2013 | url-status=dead | df=dmy-all }}</ref> In television, ''Top of the Lake'' gained the most nominations with ten.<ref name=FilmTVNoms/> ''Desert War'' and ''I Am A Girl'' earned four nominations each in the documentary field.<ref name=FilmTVNoms/>
==Background==
===Category restructuring=== In December 2012, AACTA launched a campaign for additional awards. The aim was to include craft awards for television, which the Academy acknowledged was a big gap in the AACTA Awards categories.<ref>{{Cite web| url = http://www.aacta.org/media/223187/australian%20academy%20launches%20campaign%20for%20additional%20awards%2013.12.12.pdf| title = Australian Academy Launches Campaign for Additional Awards| publisher = Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA)| date = 13 December 2012| access-date = 12 October 2013| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131217084724/http://www.aacta.org/media/223187/australian%20academy%20launches%20campaign%20for%20additional%20awards%2013.12.12.pdf| archive-date = 17 December 2013| url-status = dead}}</ref> After consulting various industry guilds in the Australian screen industry, AACTA announced seven new craft categories in the television field for: Best Direction in a Light Entertainment or Reality Series, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Sound, Best Original Music Score, Best Production Design and Best Costume Design.<ref name="categoryannouncement">{{cite web|url=http://www.aacta.org/media/233520/3rd%20aacta%20awards%20cycle%20launch.pdf|title=Australian Academy Calls for AACTA Awards Entrants, Announces New Television Awards|publisher=Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA)|date=16 May 2013|access-date=17 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131217084759/http://www.aacta.org/media/233520/3rd%20aacta%20awards%20cycle%20launch.pdf|archive-date=17 December 2013|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> However, a lack of funds, due to the loss of Samsung as a naming rights sponsor in September 2012, lead to the restructuring of some accolades by the Academy for the 2014 awards.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://if.com.au/2013/05/16/article/AACTA-announces-changes-to-Awards-six-new-awards-created-for-television-craft/LZWVHOHFXY.html |title=AACTA announces changes to Awards, six new awards created for television craft |last=Blatchford|first=Emily|work=if.com.au|publisher=Inside Film magazine |access-date=17 December 2013|date=16 May 2013}}</ref> The Best Comedy Series and Best Light Entertainment Series were merged into a single Best Television Comedy or Light Entertainment Series. The award for Best Screenplay in a Short Film, Best Visual Effects and Best Young Actor was removed. Several of the documentary awards were also cancelled, including: Best Documentary Under One Hour, Best Documentary Series, Best Direction in a Documentary, Best Cinematography in a Documentary, Best Sound in a Documentary and Best Editing in a Documentary.<ref name="categoryannouncement" /> The documentary craft awards would instead fall under the newly established television craft categories.
This caused anger in the Australian documentary making community, who found the changes to be "completely unacceptable". Representatives of Australian documentary group OzDox, condemned the process by which the category restructuring was made, saying that no one from the documentary sector was consulted during the industry guild consultation period.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/documentary-makers-furious-at-being-cut-from-aacta-awards-20130524-2k6zu.html |title=Documentary makers furious at being cut from AACTA awards|last=Quinn|first=Karl|work=The Sydney Morning Herald |access-date=17 December 2013|date=25 May 2013}}</ref> Australian actor Josh Lawson felt the merger of the Best Comedy Series and Light Entertainment Series categories is "insulting", and the general lack of comedy awards is a "slap in the face" for people working on comedic productions.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confidential/australian-academy-of-cinema-and-television-arts-awards-are-no-laughing-matter-for-josh-lawson/story-fni0cvc9-1226776456708 |title=Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards are no laughing matter for Josh Lawson|last=Moran|first=Jonathon|work=The Daily Telegraph|publisher=News Corp Australia |access-date=17 December 2013|date=6 December 2013}}</ref> Following the outcry by OzDox, AACTA announced it had received industry support and reinstated the four documentary craft awards, and split the television directing categories into Best Direction in a Drama or Comedy and Best Direction in a Television Light Entertainment or Reality Series.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://if.com.au/2013/07/04/article/ZDIINDHLCG.html|title=AACTA reinstates documentary craft awards|last=Groves|first=Don|work=if.com.au|publisher=Inside Film magazine|access-date=17 December 2013|date=4 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131217090332/http://if.com.au/2013/07/04/article/ZDIINDHLCG.html|archive-date=17 December 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aacta.org/media/233770/media%20release%20-%20aacta%20reinstates%20documentary%20craft%20awards%204.7.13.pdf|title=AACTA reinstates documentary craft Awards with industry support|publisher=Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA)|date=4 July 2013|access-date=17 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131217084836/http://www.aacta.org/media/233770/media%20release%20-%20aacta%20reinstates%20documentary%20craft%20awards%204.7.13.pdf|archive-date=17 December 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>
