AACTA_International_Award_for_Best_Supporting_Actor
The AACTA International Award for Best Supporting Actor is an accolade given by the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA), a non-profit organisation whose aim is to "identify, award, promote, and celebrate Australia's greatest achievements in film and television".[1] The award is presented at the annual AACTA International Awards, which rewards achievements in feature films, regardless of the country the film was made.[2] The winners and nominees are determined by the international chapter of the Academy, which comprises eighty members of Australian filmmakers and executives.[3] It was first handed out by the Academy in 2013 (for films released in 2012) as a discretionary prize, with Robert De Niro being the first recipient.[4]
