THE odds are against her, but the nation will be hoping Margot Robbie can beat them in her first Academy Awards as a best actress nominee today.
After all, the 27-year-old has already created a stellar career taking a punt on Hollywood after leaving Neighbours in 2011.
Yesterday Robbie hit the red carpet clad in a leopard print Louis Vuitton shift dress made entirely out of sequins for the independent Spirit Awards.
The I, Tonya star lost out to Oscar favourite Frances McDormand, for her effort in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, but that luck may change with Robbie’s mother Sarie Kessler and British director husband Tom Ackerley by her side.
“You don’t get to bring guests unless you’re nominated, so this year I hope I can bring my mum and my husband,” she revealed last week.
Robbie is close to her mum, who raised her and her siblings solo. Robbie wore her mum’s wedding dress when she got married in 2016, and even paid off the mortgage on her mother’s Gold Coast home in 2014.

Still, even if Robbie doesn’t get the gong today, she’s already on a winning streak. Upcoming roles include Queen Elizabeth I in Mary, Queen Of Scots and a slew of projects as supervillain Harley Quinn.
And last week it was announced Robbie will star as illegal sports betting boss Marisa Lankester in Dangerous Odds.
Rumours are also swirling that she’ll be joining Quentin Tarantino’s Charles Manson film.
