Being a Hollywood dad in awards season

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 23 January 2019

18 year old Wellingtonian, Thomasin McKenzie has spent the past few weeks in LA for awards season. Sadly she missed out on an Oscar nomination for her role in the film Leave No Trace, but she's been widely praised for her performance. And that success comes with many obligations!

Thomasin spoke to Nine to Noon last month about her acting career, but today we're talking to her Dad, Stuart McKenzie, who has been accompanying Thomasin to various awards ceremonies and joins us from LA to give us an insiders view of red carpets, stylists, mega-stars and entertainment politics - namely, the Hollywood during awards season.
