There was quite a bit of Aussie love at today’s Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles, but the only Australian celeb actually there in person to accept their surfboard trophy was Chuck star Yvonne Strahovski, who picked up the award for Choice TV Actress: Action. Also receiving awards were Sam Worthington, Liam Hemsworth, Mia Wasikowska and Keith Urban (yes, we’re claiming him as Australian).

Proving that there's really no end to award season in Hollywood, the 2010 MTV Movie Awards nominees have been announced! Naturally, the Twilight kids are all over these categories, but New Moon also gets some lofty competition from movies like The Hangover, The Proposal and Avatar.

I've already shared with you my recent chats with Alice in Wonderland stars Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter, along with Alice herself, Mia Wasikowska, but there are two actors who you may not recognise in the film: Matt Lucas and Michael Sheen. In the film, Lucas pulls off the dual role of Tweedledum and Tweedledee, while Sheen (who you'll remember from New Moon) lends his voice to the White Rabbit. I sat down with the boys to chat about the film and the mysterious man that is Tim Burton.
Towards the opening of Alice in Wonderland, a young Alice lays in bed as her father leans in to tell her a secret. She's been having odd dreams about a rabbit in a waistcoat and questions if she's losing her mind. He responds by telling her that crazy people are the most fun.
When you're thrown into the middle of a Tim Burton film—opposite an A-lister like Johnny Depp, no less—it's easy to feel overwhelmed. That's where Aussie up-and-comer Mia Wasikowska found herself when she was cast in one of young Hollywood's most coveted parts: the title role in Alice in Wonderland.
