For those who don't know: Drew Struzan is the man behind the posters for all six Star Wars movies and all four Indiana Jones movies - and a host of other legendary movie tentpoles. XL Labs also has an impressive portfolio. Click thumb left or here to enlarge.
 
Black tie alert: It's time for the yearly Australia.com Black Tie Gala and honors. This year's honors are presented to to Kylie Minogue and director Philip Noyce for "significant contributions in their respective industries and for excellence in promoting Australia in the U.S".
The award presenters are none other than John Travolta - and Harrison Ford. The event is due this weekend: Saturday January 19 at the Hollywood & Highland Grand Ballroom in Los Angeles.

Minogue was recently honored with an OBE (=Order of the British Empire) for her career and work for victims of breast cancer - and confesses to being a fan of the musical Grease. Noyce directed Harrison in his outings as CIA agent Jack Ryan in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. He was also responsible for the lauded and much awarded The Rabbit-Proof Fence and The Quiet American.

The pages also contain a nice little riddle:
