The gorgeous Mischa Barton will be skipping the OC to present at next weekend's MTV Australia Awards. Her mission? Not to charm as many hairy rockstar types as possible, but rather to announce Matt Damon as the winner of MTV Australia's first ever Movie Star Award!
Matt was chosen as the winner of the Movie Star Award 2008 because he's always been an astoundingly talented actor/ director, and just keeps getting hotter. Since breaking into the public eye with the Oscar-winning Good Will Hunting in 1997, not a year has gone by without box office success for Matt. Not only proving himself in the genres of drama, thriller, action and comedy, he's even trespassed into viral success this year with the spoof Sarah Silvermann clip "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" going haywire over the net waves. His decade of success makes Matt the ultimate movie star for the MTV Generation and an obvious choice for the MTV Australia Awards' Movie Star kudos. Good on ya Matt!
Meanwhile, Ms Mischa is MTV Australia's "It" girl of choice, because we figure, who better to present the MTV Australia Movie Star Award than someone with a hefty line of credits all on her own? Born in Britain to an Irish mother, the now-American starred in top-billing films during her teens, including The Sixth Sense and Notting Hill, along with the US smash TV series "All My Children". But it was when she stepped into the princess heels of Marissa Cooper on the hit series "The O.C." that ratings soared and Mischa truly became a household name the world over. She's since been the face of Calvin Klein, David Jones and Neutrogena, to name only several, and has graced the front pages of many a magazine with her fresh and bohemian beauty. No doubt there will be several thousand Australians wanting to rub shoulders with Ms Mischa when she comes to rock your world at the MTV Australia Awards next weekend as special guest presenter, so glam up and prepare for the hype!
