Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress Margot Robbie has lifted the lid on what went on at her first awards show.
Robbie recalled her experience at the 2009 Logie Awards in her native Australia on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week, Fox News reported.
The 29-year-old described the Logies as the “funnest award show ever”.
“I haven’t been for a decade now. It’s like the Wild West … They’re just a big piss-up, everyone gets absolutely hammered.”
“People are drunk the next day going to work,” Robbie said.
“The two big shows, Neighbours and Home And Away – you have to work the next morning after the Logies. We film all year-round, so people show up in their gowns, people show up still drunk.
“A really famous talk show host did a show completely wasted — he did the morning show, like, wasted. And Australia loved him more after that! He didn’t even get in trouble.”
This talk show host was Today’s Karl Stefanovic, who’s become infamous in the TV world after his “animated” hosting of the breakfast show the morning after the 2009 Logies. Stefanovic later admitted he was “real drunk”.
Robbie also recalled her second awards show at Melbourne’s Crown Casino, which she attended as a 19-year-old and got so drunk she passed out.
“It’s held in a casino … and I passed out in one of the toilet stalls and I woke up and I came out and it happened to be the one hour that the casino closes to clean.
“I didn’t know it ever closes – usually just full of thousands of people.
