He's got a well-worn tuxedo hanging in the cupboard, but Dapto's Drew Bailey had better rethink his wardrobe after scoring an Oscar nod.Born and bred in the Gong, the 33-year-old producer is being feted on the world stage after his film Miracle Fish was nominated for the world's best known film awards in the Best Live Action Short Film category."I didn't believe it was true, but then the phone started ringing and it became very true, very quickly," Bailey told the Mercury in a phone call from Los Angeles, where he has moved to develop further film projects."Now (myself and writer-director Luke Doolan) need some Aussie designer to give us some nice new tuxedos.
