:heart: Loved that bad-boy photoshoot. I hope there will be pictures of the event, and of course I hope he wins.
But even if he doesn't, I hope he has fun and can appreciate being in Australia for a day or two. At least he will be free from filming for that time, so his work week is short.

I am so :fingerscrossed: and :pray: that this means he wins.

But as Mizz said, in any case, this is huge for him... and his no-doubt proud family. :cloud9:

I sure hope he wins. :cheer:

But I have no idea who his competition is. I looked them up on IMDb but it didn't help mush only two other then Alex had a pic....no worries IMO of the two who did Alex has them beat. But who knows how the judges will vote. :shrug:
I know Alex would take this opportunity to go back to OZ to see his family, but I hope it's a little more then that... like they need him there to "accept" his award. :twothumbs:

Ooohhhh! :melts: Alex in black tie...

I don't recognize any of the names except for Jack Thompson. Isn't that the friend of Alex' on who's couch Alex slept in his early LA years?
ETA: I think I'm wrong. He played with Alex in Feed and Oyster Farmer. I think he was the old man.

I googled what an OMEGA De Ville Hour Vision Calibre 8500 is. It's a watch. Now I want Alex to win, because he would soooo dig that price. Or maybe he already owns one. :laugh:

Black tie? Be still my heart! :hearts:

Tuesday night in Sydney is when here in the US? Meaning, when might we expect pictures from this event?

:giggle:

Because all the advance warning in the world ain't gonna help and we all know it. But at least we'll know to put our affairs in order first. :twothumbs:

MLC, I have no idea about the timing of the event but just as a guesstimate, 8pm Tuesday in Sydney is 4am Tuesday EST.

It's fate--the winner will get a gorgeous watch. This means Alex must win, right? :teeth:

Cool video promo of the watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3UzcyavX-c

(Now I'm dying to see it on his wrist. As he's wearing the tux.) :melts: :melts: :melts:

Thanks, Red! So possibly during the day Tuesday, naturally the day I work and don't have access to any forums. :sigh: :drums:
