Melbourne Symphony Orchestra to perform Skyfall score to coincide with Bond 25 release
Danjaq LLC/United Artists/Columbia Pictures As far as James Bond scores go, I don’t regard Thomas Newman’s one for Skyfall to be a classic.

True to Hollywood tradition, the luxury suites were in full swing the day before the Oscars, and TMG’s International 15th Annual Pre-Oscar Luxury Suite, presented by Well Being Trust, provided a much-needed opportunity for vips and media to unwind before the big event.

Many elegant and well attended Oscar suites have rolled out the red carpet at the W Hollywood Hotel since its inception.
