Grimshaw has been a beloved face on millions of screens across Australia throughout a career that has spanned more than 40 years.
Almost half of that time was at the helm of A Current Affair, which she stepped down from at the end of 2022 after 17 years as host.
She returned to screens this year with Do You Want To Live Forever?, testing the limits of human longevity alongside Dr Nick Coatsworth.
A Current Affair also scooped other prizes last night.
Hannah Sinclair won the award for outstanding nightly television current affairs reporting for her NDIS investigation.
