The Fujinon Fujifilm Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS) National Awards for 2018 were held on May 8 at the Customs House in Brisbane.  

The winner of the  Milli award for Australian Cinematographer of the Year was Simon Duggan ACS for his work on Hacksaw Ridge. This is a meta-prize which is chosen from all the winners; he won the Gold Tripod for feature films, with an award of distinction going to Greig Fraser ACS for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Both are international productions but local films take these awards as well. In 2017, the key feature awards went to Michael McDermott for Hounds of Love and Geoffrey Hall ACS for Red Dog: True Blue.
