The Awards are celebrating the 10th anniversary. On this occasion, the organizers give the chance to the audience now to have their say of the last 10 years. One of the categories is the Global Star of the Decade one, where we can find the most popular Australian actors and actresses in the nominees. All of them are known all over the world after playing in huge blockbusters and Oscar-winning movies. Now we can finally see how famous they are in their homeland, Australia.
There is no clear favorite in the AACTA Global Star of the Decade odds
With so many great nominees in the category, even online sportsbooks in Australia couldn’t name a clear favorite. They offer the smallest odds, 3.24 for the victory of Cate Blanchett but her colleagues are not much behind her. The two-time Academy Awards winner actress won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for playing Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator. While she also won the Best Actress award in 2014 for playing the main character in Blue Jasmine. But Blanchett also played the English Queen in Elizabeth, Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings.

Another similarly famous and successful actress, Nicole Kidman is also in the favorites to win the category in the AACTA Global Star of the Decade odds. She also won the Best Actress Academy Award for The Hours in 2003 besides 3 other nominations. At the beginning of her career, she played in Australian films and TV series like Bangkok Hilton. Then she got world-famous following her roles in American movies like Batman Forever, The Peacemaker, or Baz Luhrmann’s musical Moulin Rouge. In the last 10 years, Kidman often starred in independent films like Strangerland. And she also returned to TV with Big Little Lies winning the Emmy Award for it. Her odds to win this award is 4.50 on 1xBet.
