Something much less glamorous kept me away, but from all reports, a perfectly stylishly night as InStyle mag editor Kerrie McCallum (pictured above) and Moet et Chandon celebrated all that is great in the world of Aussie thesps.
In one of those on-going discussions as to how exactly we pronounce the bubbles (is it Mo-ee, Mo-et or even Mo-wett?) for those who care about such things, it is actually the latter . . .
Anyway, back to the soiree, and it was a chance for Moët & InStyle to celebrate 'Stars of Australian Film and pay tribute to talent on the rise and filmic industry leaders at the glam new hotspot, The Diamant Hotel Penthouse in Darlinghurst.
Moët says it has been the champion champagne of cinema since the early days of the movies, supporting actors in more than 100 Hollywood and international productions to date.
Touted as the world’s 'most loved' champagne, it has created celebratory scenes onscreen from small productions to international blockbusters, including Love in the Afternoon, Pretty Woman, Titanic, Muriel’s Wedding, The Devil Wears Prada, Nine, The DaVinci Code, Ocean’s 12, and Sex and the City 2.
So it seemed only appropriate for the cinematic celebrations to continue.
The Moët flowed from magnums, and the Moët 'Gold Goblets' were quite a hit as star caterers, John & Peter, created the canapés and and DJ Graz set the music mood.
Guests included Barry Otto (how cool a 'dad' is he?) and his daughter Miranda Otto with Peter O’Brien; Sophie Lowe (Road Train, 2010; Blessed, 2009; Beautiful Kate; 2009 – AGF nominee for Best Actress); Damian de Montemas (Blame, Underbelly, Secret Life Of Us)Alyssa McClelland (A Man’s Gotta Do, 2004; The Bet, 2007; Rescue: Special Ops, TV, 2010); Jessica McNamee (The Loved Ones, 2009; Packed to the Rafters); Krew Boylan (Dream the Life, 2009; Primal, 2009); Cassandra MaGrath (Wolf Creek, 2005; SeaChange); Victoria Thaine (The Loved Ones, 2009; 48 Shades, 2006); Gyton Grantley (Balibo, 2009; Beneath Hill 60, 2010; Underbelly, 2008) and Michael Dorman (Suburban Mayhem, 2006; Prime Mover, 2009; Daybreakers, 2010).
Phew, quite a roll up indeed . . and stay tuned for more Moet action as it does Melboure for the upcoming Spring Racing Carnival . . .
