AUSTRALIA

- Best Performance in a Drama

Described as “the best Australian drama in years”, "one gripping shock to the system after another" and "a modern cautionary tale about trust and self-worth", Australian series Fake is a vital drama which goes deep inside the psychology of the victim of a love scam. It is an intimate and exhilarating exploration of the illusions life lays out for us, through both the lies we are told and the lies we tell ourselves. Asher Keddie is one of Australia’s most critically acclaimed actors, having worked extensively in TV, film and theatre. Fake follows Keddie as Birdie Bell, a beautiful, brilliantly sharp magazine features writer who thinks she’s found ‘the one’ on a dating app. Birdie begins to believe that it is finally her chance to live out her fairy-tale. But she soon discovers her boyfriend isn’t all he has led her to believe. "Keddie deserves every kind of award for this performance: she’s an exceptional actor and this is some of her finest work." - The Guardian
