Hugh Jackman hit the red carpet with none other than his lovely wife of almost 20 years.
Hugh Jackman and His Wife at the Oscars 2013

Hugh Jackman hit the red carpet with none other than his lovely wife of almost 20 years. Jackman picked up a best actor nod for his role in Les Misérables and if it weren't for his Oscar date — Deborra-Lee Furness — he may not have even finished the film. After a particularly tough day on the Les Misérables set, he told her it was too much and she insisted that he do it. Throughout award season, there's been no shortage of spousal praise from Hugh. Hugh has said of his wife, "I feel so lucky . . . she's the greatest woman. . . . Having the security and knowledge that someone you love, who loves you for exactly who you are, whether you're successful, whether you're not successful — in those moments of real doubt, she was the only one who could really pull me off that cliff."

The couple has two adopted children, Oscar and Ava, and Deborra is no stranger to the spotlight herself. In fact, she and Hugh met in 1995 on the set of an Australian TV show, Correlli, and she has a number of TV and film credits to her name. See Hugh and Deborra at the Oscars now!

Hugh Jackman continued a week of successes today in Hollywood as he accepted his star on the Walk of Fame. The actor, who earned a Golden Globe nomination this morning and a SAG nod yesterday for his upcoming role as Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, had his wife and costars by his side for the ceremony. Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, and Les Mis director Tom Hooper all attended the event, as did Hugh's real-life leading lady, Deborra-Lee Furness.

Anne, who picked up SAG and Globe nominations of her own this week, was spotted proudly snapping photos of Hugh on her phone as he was celebrated outside the famous Chinese Theatre. The costars are gearing up for the Christmas Day release of Les Misérables and have been traveling throughout Europe, Asia, and the States in recent weeks to drum up anticipation for the musical, with LA as their latest stop.

Hugh's in tip-top shape and still sporting a full beard for his current role in Wolverine. He may have to take a break from production in the upcoming months to promote two holiday flicks.

He's now gearing up to report to the set of The Wolverine. Hugh spoke about revisiting the X-Men character while in California. He said, "Ever since X-Men 1, I read those comics of the saga in Japan, and I kept saying, ‘Why can’t we do [Wolverine]?’ So, 10 years later, we are finally getting there."

Dr. Aronson is known for her efforts to help underprivileged children around the world and has previously worked closely with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, also came out for the bash, and he spoke about his time trick-or-treating on Sunday.

Nicole Kidman

Hugh and Nicole Bring Their Australia to London

Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman kept the worldwide promotional tour for Australia going with a stop off in Leicester Square last night.

Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman kept the worldwide promotional tour for Australia going with a stop off in Leicester Square last night. The film has had a lukewarm response at the box office but perhaps it can score overseas. As the twosome continue to travel the globe, Nicole talked about her baby Sunday and this time she shared some upcoming holiday plans, which include puppet gifts and "a lot of hugs and kisses and Christmas carols." Sounds like the perfect low-key family time after weeks of red carpet appearances.

AFI Awards Bring Out Australian Celebs and Tara Reid

It was a big night down under as Aussie celebs came out to celebrate the Australian Film Institute Awards in Melbourne.

It was a big night down under as Aussie celebs came out to celebrate the Australian Film Institute Awards in Melbourne. Cate Blanchett was in from Sydney, where she recently showed off her baby bump at a premiere, along with Eric Bana, who won the best actor and people's choice awards. Tara Reid, already in Australia to host parties at a discounted rate, scored a last-minute invite, saying, "I always pop up everywhere in Australia, like a jack-in-the-box." We have to say, Tara looks pretty tiny in her possibly pleated/bubbled LBD and watch out Australia — you never know where she'll be appearing next.
