The event was performed by Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra Victoria and the Australian National Academy of Music, with contributions from politicians, actors and comedians including Shaun Micallef, Josh Thomas and Charlie Pickering.

Care Aware: supports 2.6m Australian carers
Actor and author William McInnes is the face of a new campaign to acknowledge the contribution carers make to society.
The first phase of a campaign for Care Aware by McCann centres on the website Careaware.com.au, which provides resources to help carers, information on how to become a ‘Care Aware Workplace’, and encourages social interaction to help spread the Care Aware message.
The site also features a number of videos that showcase Care Aware’s work.
McInnes said: “Many Australians don’t realize it, but at some stage in our lives we are statistically likely to become a carer for a family member, or require caring ourselves. This is why it is so important that we as a nation understand what caring is and what it involves.”
Another key part of the campaign is a continuous 24-hour symphonic concert in October at Melbourne’s prestigious Hamer Hall.

Talking to J.J. Abrams about "Super 8" these days is a far different experience than it was just a few months ago. During a late April phone conversation, held as the director was putting the finishing touches on his film's score, Abrams was impressively, impenetrably tight-lipped about the project's many mysteries. When we asked how far into "Super 8" the much-hyped, never-seen creature would be revealed, he simply answered, "I would say the film will obviously answer that question."
But when Abrams stopped by the MTV Newsroom on Tuesday (June 14), fresh off his film's impressive, $35.5 million opening weekend, the guy couldn't have been more open. He answered lingering questions, cleared up sources of debate, and reveled in hearing how fans were taking in a film that is undoubtedly...
