Last week Holmes & Marchant celebrated the last year of great work and amazing creativity with their first annual Oscars ceremony!
Kicking off from 4pm at the office we were joined by Alex the cameraman who followed our journey on the very unique Singapore Trolley around the city, finally dropping us off at Mount Faber. At this point it was still a surprise as to where the Oscars would be taking place ... the cable car journey confirmed we would be spending the evening on Sentosa. But where?
Whilst in the cable cars the team were shown the list of Oscars that would be presented throughout the evening and were asked to guess who they thought would win what ... with some interesting answers it became evident that the awards were not necessarily as obvious as they first seemed!
On reaching Imbiah lookout everyone was collected and transported to our venue for the evening. The very glamorous Capella Hotel. With red carpets ready and waiting we were all welcomed with specially "designed" cocktails at Bob's Bar.
Throughout the course of the evening we were served a very delicious five course dinner...

There was also a few cash prizes up for grabs! Best dressed male and female awards were voted for on the night and the winners of $500 each were Audrey and John ... I think we would all agree they looked gorgeous!
The last award of the evening, The Lifetime Achievement Award, was given to Karen who will be leaving Holmes & Marchant at the end of February...
The evening was concluded with an edited video from Alex, who did a fantastic job of capturing every ones "red carpet" interviews! I think we would all agree that is was a great night and a brilliant celebration of every ones achievements over the past year! Time to start planning the next event ...
