The 2013 Rialto Channel New Zealand Film Awards is the second presentation for the New Zealand Film Awards, a New Zealand film industry award.

Following the demise of the Aotearoa Film and Television Awards in 2012, New Zealand film industry figure Ant Timpson and nzherald.co.nz online entertainment editor Hugh Sundae announced the formation of the Sorta Unofficial New Zealand Film Awards, also known as the Moas.^[1] In 2013 the awards were renamed the New Zealand Film Awards, with the Rialto Channel as the primary sponsor.^[2]

The 2013 ceremony took place in Civic Wintergarden in Auckland on 10 December 2013. It was webcast live at the nzherald.co.nz, and broadcast on the Rialto Channel on 15 December.^[3]

Nominees and Winners

Moas were awarded in 28 categories in four groups - feature film, documentary film, short film and television.^[3] The television category has only one award - Best Television Feature or Drama Series - a one-off award created to recognise excellence in television, as there is otherwise no New Zealand television award in 2013.^[4]
