Eric Bana @ AFI Awards 2007

Aussiewood star Eric Bana wins the “Best Lead Actor” award for his work in Romulus, My Father at the 2007 AFI Awards at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre on Thursday in Melbourne, Australia.

“I’m jet-lagged but very excited to be here,” the Aussie actor said as he arrived. “It is a real thrill (to be nominated). It’s a great bunch of blokes I’m up against, especially to be up against young Kodi. He’s incredible.”

Bana‘s costar Kodi Smit-McPhee (pictured) picked up the “Young Actor Award” while the movie itself won “Best Film”
