Dead chuffed

The A-list from the cinematic, corporate and consulate worlds turned out for a deliciously irreverent Sam Neil tribute honouring his 25 years in film and his contribution to New Zealand, Australian, and American culture and commerce at the Qantas Australia Day Ball hosted by the Australian American New Zealand Association (AANZA) at the St. Regis Hotel, LA. Tributes flowed from Mel Gibson, Rob Lowe, Tim Finn, Peter Jackson. Above: Neill and Billy Zane.
