‘Soldier’ wins Best Work at RADs
2010 is well underway and we’ve already picked up our first trophies for the cabinet in the shape of the Recruitment Advertising Awards, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel and hosted by the ubiquitous Michael McIntyre.
The night started well and just got better, with Start Thinking Soldier picking up Best Campaign – just as Publicis’ Mel Hopkins needed the loo.
This was soon followed by Best Microsite, where Skive’s Louis Clement and Hopkins were joined on the stage by the COI’s Nic Cary.
Best was yet to come, however, as the campaign picked up Best Work of the year, and McIntyre was mobbed on stage by a jubilant Skive team.
It wouldn’t be a Skive Night Out without some glorious mishap, however, and while most turned up to work the next day with a sore head, there was alas no sign of the statues themselves. Turns out we’d left them in a sack at the hotel…

The 67th Golden Globe Awards nominations are in! The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s award show is often viewed as the biggest indicator for the Big Show (a.k.a., The Oscars), but the event is a little more laid-back; attendees sit together at tables (and openly imbibe) and it covers the worlds of both film and television.
On the film side, James Cameron’s Avatar — which opens Friday — nabbed four nominations, including Best Motion Picture, Drama. The film Julie & Julia, which actually originated from a popular blog, received two nominations — one for Best Picture, Comedy, and one for Best Actress in a Comedy for Meryl Streep.
On the TV side, FOX’s Glee led with four nominations, including Best TV Series, Comedy or Musical, Best Actress, Comedy or Musical, Best Actor, Comedy or Musical and Best Supporting Actress.
Overall, Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air, a film starring George Clooney, won the most nominations, taking away six.
You can check out the entire list here.
