A FRIENDSHIP with Australian actor William McInnes has indirectly landed two Melburnians the trip of a lifetime to the Golden Globe Awards.
Herald Sun readers Domenica and Frank Forti were announced as the winners of the Herald Sun Readers Choice Award at the L'Oreal Paris AFI Awards on Saturday night. The Footscray West couple registered their vote for the competition in the hope of helping their mate, William McInnes, to a win. But while McInnes lost to Cate Blanchett, the Fortis had better luck. Mrs Forti said they had not expected to win. "We weren't even thinking about a trip to LA. It was just enough to come tonight (to the AFIs),'' she said. Mr Forti, a real estate agent, met William McInnes 15 years ago when he sold a house for him. They remained good friends. The couple have won airfares, accommodation in Beverly Hills and two tickets to the Golden Globes in LA on January 16.
