November 6, 2008 11:28 am >> THE MODELIZER —We haven't seen much of Gemma Ward lately — except for the unexpected cover in October — and according to this week's Australian Grazia, she spends most of her time with her mother, "refusing invitations to parties and other events" at her New York base, but she made a surprise appearance on Tuesday night, celebrating in the streets of New York with a picture of Barack Obama.  That's not the only reason Gemma should be celebrating — her movie The Black Balloon recently picked up eleven nominations at Australia's most prestigious film awards, and it's set to make a New York debut on Dec.

Gemma Ward's The Black Balloon Makes US Debut
Gemma Ward's The Black Balloon Makes US Debut December 1, 2008 6:10 pm >> This week seems to be all about fashion in film — Wednesday brings us both the debut of Karl Lagerfeld's short film and the televised version of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and on Friday, Gemma Ward's film, The Black Balloon, finally makes its US debut, just in time to throw itself into the ring for awards season contention.  The film already swept the nominations for Australia's most prestigious film awards — results come out this Saturday — and a similarly positive reception stateside could do wonders for Gemma's film career.
Gemma Ward Comes Back with a Cover
Gemma Ward Comes Back with a Cover October 22, 2008 4:54 pm >> Gemma Ward hasn't been a presence on the runways since the Spring 2008 season a year ago, but she's followed through with her no-retirement promise.  It's no Vogue Italia of yesteryear, but she appears on the cover and inside the October 2008 issue of Spanish Marie Claire wearing Burberry Fall 2008.  As for that burgeoning movie career of hers, she recently picked up an Inside Film nomination for Best Actress in The Black Balloon — which, if she wins, could place her in the running for an Australian Film Institute Award, the Australian equivalent of an Oscar — and there's a Strangers sequel in the works, with the expectation that villain Gemma might return.  As for what's on her plate right now — your guess is as good as mine — IMDB lists nothing.*image: source View Slideshow ›
on the marc April 15, 2008 5:34 pm >> "Marc Jacobs doesn't give a f***," an article in the May 2008 issue of GQ tells us, punctuated by a flippant picture of MJ with strategically-placed pink balloon.  Well, maybe not, but do we give a f** about the "new Marc," outspoken and outrageous as he is?
gemma: on sabbatical January 19, 2007 11:09 pm >> Gemma Ward has officially made the transition from just plain model to model-actress.   Instead of walking the  ready-to-wear shows in New York, London, and Milan, Gems will be filming "The Black Balloon," which centers around a boy's struggle to come to terms with his autistic brother.  Don't worry, Gemma fans, she will be back in fine form in time for Paris.
