The Qantas Film and Television awards for 2010 have were given out at a Gala event at Auckland's Civic Theatre on Saturday.

Boy took its total following Friday's Craft Awards to seven, with wins for Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Film and Best Supporting Actor for Taika Waititi.

After winning 3-1 at the Craft Awards in the Battle for News and Current Affairs supremacy (at least according to the awards count), TVNZ will have five further reasons to track down a staff member with a company credit card to throw on the bar - winning Best News Reporting, Journalist of the Year, Best Current Affairs Series, Best Current Affairs Reporting for a weekly programme, and Best News.

Campbell Live also did well, winning Best Current Affairs Reporting for a daily programme, and Best Presenter.

After receiving four Craft Awards, Great Southern Television, makers of The Cult, would have been well-chuffed with Danielle Cormack winning Best Performance by an Actress, and Best Supporting Actress going to Lisa Chappell.

Outrageous Fortune was crowned Best Drama, with co-creator James Griffin winning Best Script.

Another production company with cause to celebrate was Jam TV, winning Best Observational Reality Series for Intrepid Journeys, Best Information/Lifestyle Programme for Radar's Patch, as well as Best Director and Presenter for South.

Best Short Film went to Only Son, after also winning Best Short Film Screenplay at the Craft Awards. It's the first time a film made as part of the 48hours Film Competition has featured in the National awards, and is yet another positive entry on the CV of thedownlowconcept - makers of the hugely popular 7 Days.

However that popularity didn't help it win Best Comedy Programme or Series, missing out to The Jaquie Brown Diaries, which also got an award for Director, Gerard Johnstone.

Tweeting up a voting-storm couldn't help Shortland Street's Kimberley Crossman, with Breakfast star Paul Henry winning the People's Choice Award. His was the speech of the night - reading out an expletive filled letter from an angry TV viewer. It even had the C word.

Earlier in the day, the so-called 'weather bomb' proved an ongoing worry for organisers, with a section of Auckland's Queen Street shut down to traffic and replaced with a red-carpet celebrity spotting zone.
