Kings premiere party at Bisha

The pre-screening party for the film was held on the hotel’s 44th-floor rooftop, where guests snacked on mini lobster BLTs and sipped Ciroc berry cocktails. The film, which stars Daniel Craig and Halle Berry, follows a foster family in L.A. a few weeks before the infamous riots.

Berry, in a tousled high braid, was at the centre of the crowd (her co-star isn’t in town):

She chatted in a group with the film’s writer and director Deniz Gamze Ergüven (spotted: Cameron Bailey in the background):

Here’s the fictional family together:

Long Time Running party at King Taps

The Tragically Hip documentary celebrated its premiere last night at the new First Canadian Place craft beer mecca (which has over 50 brews on tap). In addition to the Hip band members (except Gord Downie), notable names like Ron McLean and Jeffrey Remedios also showed up, and guests sipped on custom Crown Royal cocktails.

Co-directors Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier posed together:
