Cody Simpson and Ruby Rose win at Australia's GQ Awards
Pop star Cody Simpson and model/actress Ruby Rose were among the winners at Australia's GQ Men of the Year Awards.
The singer was named International Sensation at the awards show in Sydney this week (ends15Nov15), while Orange is the New Black star Ruby landed the coveted Woman of the Year title.
A Good Day to Die Hard star Jai Courtney took the Actor of the Year
trophy and The Water Diviner's Ryan Corr landed Breakthrough
Actor.
Other winners included model David Gandy (International Man of
Style), Silverchair rocker Daniel Johns (Musician of the Year),
Joel and Benji Madden (Duo of the Year), and singer/songwriter
Troye Sivan (Breakthrough Solo Artist).
Speaking at the ceremony, Ruby admitted she has "mixed feelings"
about finally being recognised for her achievements in her home
country after her profile sky-rocketed in Hollywood thanks to her
role in the hit prison drama.
"I have mixed feelings about that, because I really think that
people underestimate you," she told News.com.au. "There are so many
talented people who worked really hard within Australia, they work
their butt off and they don't get the credit that they deserve and
they don't get the awards that they should get, and they don't get
the (magazine) covers they deserve.
"Because we wait as a country, we wait for them to make it big
overseas and I don't necessarily agree with that. So yes, as soon
as I got Orange (Is The New Black), and as soon as America kind of
embraced me, I've had this huge resurgence in Australia and I love
that and I love people loving me here again, because it's been a
tumultuous ride."
