The
Qantas Film & Television Awards are one of the biggest ceremonies honouring the New Zealand film industry. This year from The Tribe cast alumni we follow
Miriama Smith and
Beth Allen have both received nominations.
Miriama Smith
Miriama has been nominated for ‘Best Performance by a Supporting Actress’ for her role as Grace Gallagher in Kaitangata Twitch, which was broadcast on Maori TV.
I’m suprised she did not receive a nomination for her role in the controversial TV movie Stolen : The Baby Kahu Story, which she was fantastic in, but I’m guessing it’s because it was broadcast after/near the deadline of nomination dates.
Beth Allen
Beth has received a nomination in the ‘New Idea People’s Choice’ category. The winner of this award will be chosen by the people of New Zealand. Beth has been nominated for her role as Dr. Brooke Freeman in Shortland Street.
If you live in New Zealand please do vote for Beth by texting A to 4369 (texts cost 20 cents each). That’s A for Awesome Allen! Beth is up against Robyn Malcolm in this category. Robyn Malcolm is fabulous but we don’t want Lex’s bootcamp leader Ma’am to win, we want Beth to win! ;D
The winners will be announced at the award ceremony at the Civic Theatre in Auckland on Saturday 18 September. We wish them both the best of luck. Well whoever wins, no matter what, it all comes down to what you wear on the night. Choose those frocks wisely ladies! Continue reading…

From The Tribe cast… I do believe Fleur Saville is handing out an award. Antonia Prebble has so far been spotted on the red carpet. Tom Hern will be there representing the I’m Not Harry Jenson crew, who are up for two awards *fingers crossed* on some wins! I’m sure Beth Allen will also be there with the Shorty Street gang also! There’ll be plenty of pics online also in the coming day.
PS… I’m on Twitter here!
I’m Not Harry Jenson sadly lost out on the award for Best Feature Film with a budget of less than $1 million.

The last lot of Ella Wilks’ photos from The Tribe cast reunion went up last night, click here to check them all out, the newer ones are at the bottom of the page. The new pics feature Ashwath Sundarasen (Dal), Ella (Danni), Sarah Major (Patsy), Dwayne Cameron (Bray), Antonia Prebble (Trudy), Nick Miller (Pride), Jennyfer Jewell (Ellie), Michael Wesley Smith (Jack) and Beth Allen (Amber).
The pics of Ella, Victoria and Antonia are great. Also check out the funny one with Antonia’s ‘bunny ears’ as well as the candid one featuring MWS, Beth Allen and others. I think they were taken towards the end of the evening as they have their coats on, I’m not certain though…

According to NZHerald gossiper Rachel Glucina, on the Qantas Awards, “It wasn’t a good night for Shorty St’s Fleur Saville who rocked some bizarre cloth headband that looked more Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan”.
I found a scanning of her outfit and atached it to the post. I don’t know much ’bout fashion, but she looks alright to me. But then The Tribe’s Ruby has always been a fave. You go girl!
Fleur Saville plays Libby Jeffries in Shortland Street.
Antonia Prebble won the Qantas award for ‘best supporting actress’, for her role in ‘Outrageous Fortune’. For more info and pictures of her, check out antoniaprebble.org. The cermony was held in Auckland, New Zealand.
Antonia Prebble wasn’t the only tribette there, Miriama Smith (Moz in The Tribe) wowed the punters with her frock. She’s the one pictured on the right! Image from www.zimbio.com
