Some good news: an actress who starred in an Australian film about a family coping with autism just won star of the year.

Here's the synopsis of The Black Balloon:

When Thomas and his family move to a new home and he has to start at a new school, all he wants is to fit in. When his pregnant mother has to take it easy, he is put in charge of his autistic older brother Charlie. Thomas, with the help of his new girlfriend Jackie (Gemma Ward) faces his biggest challenge yet. Charlie’s unusual antics take Thomas on an emotional journey that cause his pent-up frustrations about his brother to pour out.

Gemma Ward, 20, won the award, further bringing the film to light. Watch the trailer here.
