2008 MOVIE EXTRA FILMINK AWARDS WRAP UP!

The 2008 Movie Extra Filmink Awards took over Sydney's The State Theater last Wednesday night (12/03/2008), as a packed crowd and a host of Australian film & TV talent came together for a night of tongue in cheek, politically incorrect entertainment which successfully took the mickey out of the Australian (and international) Film Industry, while also paying tribute to those who entertained and moved us during the passed year.
Brendan Cowell (Noise, Love My Way) proved to be quite the host, showing off his comedic talent whilst accompanied by a group of little people dressed up as Spartans! Other highlights include a dead on impersonation of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, a man dressed in drag accepting Cate Blanchett's award for her performance in I'm Not There, and a touching speech by Peter Finch Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Colin Friels.
