Hollywood superstars Hugh Jackman and Margot Robbie have revealed their favourite Aussie films and TV moments.

In an interview to be aired at the AACTA Awards on Monday night, Jackman also said Oscar winning star Russell Crowe throws the biggest parties in Tinseltown.

“Rusty is the most fun co-star you’re going to ever have, and I think pound-for-pound holds more parties than any actor in Hollywood,” Jackman said.

“Those parties went on and on. I used to have to escape and hide because people are singing. There’s a lot of singing and a lot of fun.”

He said Crowe is a notorious prankster, too.

“I’m a big Manly (NRL) supporter,” Jackman said. “Of course (Crowe) owns South (Sydney Rabbitohs),” Jackman said.

“I arrived home and my kids were dressed head to toe in Rabbitohs gear, and they were all loving it.”

Crowe had couriered the merchandise with a little note: “Thought I’d send some lovely stuff for the kids.”

On the eve of the AACTA Awards, and nominations for favourite Aussie TV or film moment, Jackman, Robbie, Rachel Griffiths, Danielle Cormack and Tom Gleeson revealed their picks.

THE SAPPHIRES

Jackman says: “I don’t think we make enough movies about Indigenous stories, but this was just so uplifting and brilliant. And I kick myself to this day because (director) Wayne Blair did call me about it, and I took so long to read it. Anyway, that was the one that got away.

MARGOT ROBBIE

THE BABADOOK, THE DRESSMAKER, THE GREAT GATSBY

Robbie says: “The first person who told me to watch The Babadook was actually (US director) Martin Scorsese. And I remember being so embarrassed that, as an Aussie, I didn’t already know the film.”

THE SAPPHIRES

LION

“I watched it on a plane and I was bawling. This man next to me, kept looking, and said, ‘Yeah, I watched it on the (flight) over, sobbing like a baby,” she said.

TOM GLEESON

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD

Gleeson says: “It was about a bunch of people who drove a long way into the desert, couldn’t find what they wanted and drove back home again. I loved it.”

FAVOURITE TV MOMENT

Dr Patrick Reid’s (played by Matthew Le Nevez) death in the Channel 10 drama Offspring. Gleeson says: “It came out of nowhere. And I was really shocked when he turned up as Dennis Lillee in Howzat!”

DANIELLE CORMACK

THE BABADOOK

Cormack says: “It was frightening, but beautiful.”

LION

“It was a beautiful story of resilience and family … overcoming adversity and finding home.”
