Emma Stone Heavily Reps For Australia’s National Dish, Fairy Bread

The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts International Awards were held overnight in Los Angeles, squeaking in just ahead of the Golden Globes, with a mix of local and overseas talent taking home some key awards. 
One of the key winners was Emma Stone, who took out Best Actress for her performance in La La Land, and in her acceptance speech, she repped hard for Australia’s national dish, fairy bread, saying:

“Unfortunately, it has been about three years since I was in Australia and I tried fairy bread when I was there which I hear was just for children, but I loved it and am really looking forward to having it again.”

It turns out this is a very, very real thing – she and her then-boyfriend Andrew Garfield tried the delicious snack for the first time while visiting Parliament on King in Erskineville, and the cafe subsequently named a dish after her.

Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman won the Best Supporting Actress gong for the acclaimed Aussie flick Lion, while Mel Gibson, who we’ve all apparently forgiven now with no questions asked, won Best Director for Hacksaw Ridge
Hacksaw Ridge picked up a further nine awards at the Australian AACTAs ceremony last year, and Gibson beat out filmmakers like Arrival‘s Dennis Villeneuve and La La Land‘s Damien Chazelle for the trophy. 
“I’ve got two of these now,” Gibson said as he accepted the award. “I can put them in a cupboard, a little soft music, candlelight. Maybe they’ll breed more? What do you think? I wonder what the gestation period is?”
The full list of winners is as follows:
