Gemma Ward, Australian Star of the Year

While we’re still hoping that we’ll see Gemma Ward on the runway this New York Fashion Week, (which Colleen is happily attending and reporting live from) back in her homeland, she has been named Australian Star of the Year for her performance in The Black Balloon. The model/actress was named the Australian Star of the Year at the 63rd Australian International Movie Convention’s box office achievement awards in the Gold Coast on Thursday night. Unable to attend, the award was accepted by Tristram Miall, her producer in the movie.
