Lucy attended the Qantas Film & TV Awards on 05 September in Auckland (how
come the Kiwi awards are named after an Australian airline...I know Aussies love
to claim all Kiwi actors/singers as Aussies but this is ridiculous! <g>).

It was more a case of drama than comedy for Jaquie Brown last night as she
admitted to pre-ceremony nerves before the Qantas Film and Television Awards at
Auckland's Civic Theatre. But the star of The Jaquie Brown Diaries needn't

achievements in news, current affairs, general television, documentary and film
categories.
