The 2010 Qantas Film and Television Awards were held on Saturday 18 September at the Civic Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand. The craft awards were presented in a separate awards lunch at the Auckland Town Hall on Friday 17 September.[1] It was the final of the Qantas Film and Television Awards, before Qantas was lost as the naming-rights sponsor and the awards were renamed the Aotearoa Film and Television Awards.[citation needed]

The awards are best remembered for the expletive-filled acceptance speech given by Breakfast presenter Paul Henry upon winning the People's Choice Award.[2] Highlights from the main awards evening were broadcast on Sunday 19 September on TV ONE.[3]
