This is the sort of news I LOVE waking up to. How EXCITING is this 😀
Thanks to Roberta for sending this to us.
Announcement of new presenters via the Official Press Release thanks to the Australians In Film Twitter:
There’s also some more info about the event here on the Australians In Film Official Site.
Rob & David Michôd together – so exciting.  And so many amazing Aussie’s being honoured – cannot wait for October 24 😀
Omg that is fantastic news!!!! How freaking exciting *bounces like Tigger* 🙂 thanks so much Michelle….soooo can’t wait!!!!
AMAZEBALLS! Rob’s an honorary Aussie *cartwheels*
He sure is Maria – LOVE it 😀 So exciting, I CANNOT wait to see Rob & David together.
Wonderful news, thanks Michelle.
Ps. Jules is as excited as us! Rob & Jules – our two honorary Aussies!
How exciting is that! Bring on the 24th. 😀
*nods* @Sue, Jules is most definitely a honorary Aussie too 🙂
I hope Nicole is there so she can bump into Rob and have her memory jogged *sideeyesNicole*
Hmmmm indeed Maria. Still cannot get over her rude response.
I love this! If he’s an honourary Aussie would that make it easier with his visa when I kidnap him, bring him to Australia and make him marry me??
Can’t wait to see him with David and in a suit 😀
This is such exciting news. Love, love, love it. Maria agree with you about Nicole, still can’t get over her not remembering. So proud of how Rob is involving himself with things that matter. 😀 😀 😀
@Sare you need to establish that you have been in a relationship for at least 12 months for him to obtain a temp partner visa, but I’m guessing you can establish more than 12 months just from your posts on the site LOL.
I’m pretty sure Rob would qualify for a distinguished talent visa – straight to permanent resident baby.
Oh and @Sare I’ve asked Alicia Malone to hopefully get a snap of the two of them together. She said she will if she can!
Hang on, what did I miss? Sare is going to marry him? A simple kidnap and that’s it? Perhaps if she agrees to share ……. All this from Rob attending a dinner in LA next week! haha (If I were a journalist, “Rob to marry Aussie” would be headlines already! Doesn’t take much these days.)
Wonderful – cant wait to see him supporting Australians. Thanks Rob and thanks Michelle – great news.
@Sue bwahahahaha.
“Kidnap victim to wed his captor. Robert Pattinson denies he is suffering from Stockholm Syndrome’. That’s for the pretend reputable *cough tabloid cough* online newspapers *sideeyesSMH”
LOL @Maria. Oh, and I (obviously) used the term ‘journalist’ VERY loosely ……
OMG! This is fantastic news. I am over the moon! He really really really is just a little bit ours.
@Maria – You seem to have done your partner/kidnap homework
Hahaha! At least four of you have stolen the words right out of my mouth – he definitely should be given honorary Aussie citizen status and Kidman should be served a huge plateful of humble pie alongside her foot. OMG – I wonder if they’ll televise some of the highlights on Aus TV somewhere? I mean, it’s a big deal for us over here, with so many of our talented countrymen/women making their mark on Hollywood. You’d think someone would do them the honour of recording it. Fingers crossed, and failing that, anyone with a phone at the ceremony, upload it to Youtube! (Just make sure you get every minute of Rob’s presence on stage!)
@Trish I’ve asked Alicia Malone to get us a pic of Rob & David Michod together. Here’s her response:
Oh yay! I love Alicia she does great interviews. Hope she can get a pic.
@Sue I’m greedy. You could look but not touch hahahahaha.
Love all you ladies!
Thanks, Maria and thanks to Alicia (in anticipation!) Have fun!
