And the Winner Is...

Check out our new website on www.bpbweekend.com!

Even as the afterglow from the Golden Globes begins to fade and Padmas rouse tempers across the country, we bring you three red carpets moments to enjoy in the city today. Just remember to thank us in your acceptance speech.

Dancing With the Stars

Tap dance your way down the red carpet with Broadway actor/ choreographer and Emmy Award winner Jason Samuels Smith in an Arts in Motion workshop tonight and tomorrow, from 8.30 to 9.30 pm. Ta da!

Getting there: Arts in Motion Dance Studios, 39, T.V. Chidambaran Marg, Sion (E), call 9820380009, Rs 300 for one day and Rs 500 for both.

Best Picture

This afternoon, Golden Globe nominee Baz Luhrmann gets his hands dirty, and you’re invited to watch. Stop by Le Sutra between 4 and 7 pm, and you can catch the Moulin Rouge director along with Archibald Art Prize winner Vincent Fantauzzo (famous for the portrait he made of Heath Ledger after the actor passed away) paint a mural on the walls of this hip new art hotel.

Getting there: Le Sutra Hotel, Union Park, next to Olive Bar and Kitchen, Khar (W), call 26492995.

bpb’s Booze Awards

Not ones to be left out of the rat race, we, along with our motley panel of judges – alcohol-loving actors, musicians, filmmakers, corporates - conducted our own award show at China House, evaluating their new range of specialty cocktails. Only difference was, here cardamom replaced controversy, and Bacardi drowned out bitterness.

Our favorite? The Bonnie Beb, which we crowned Miss Sunshine. Made with Dewar’s, apricot brandy, apple juice and Assam tea, drinking this cocktail is like strolling through the Highlands on a perfect Autumn day – sunny and breezy on your tongue, but with a slight aftertaste of the storm to come. Also try Perfume (Biggest Tease), B.O.S.S (Best Brawler) and B-42 (Miss Asia Pacific).

Getting there: China House, Grand Hyatt Hotel, On the Airport Road, Santacruz (W), Rs 1,500 cover charge on Wednesday Night.
