Putting a crown on Rolex's Laureates

Singapore

HOLLYWOOD stars took to the stage on Tuesday night at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles - home of the Oscars - but not to accept any awards for their acting ability. They were there to honour the winners of the 2016 Rolex Awards for Enterprise - picked for their work in areas as diverse as conservation, technology and social enterprise but with the common goal of making the world a better place.

Director John Cameron and actors including Don Cheadle, Chris Pine and Maria Bello gave out plaques to 10 Laureates and Young Laureates at the 40th anniversary of Rolex's corporate philanthropic movement that was launched in 1976 to commemorate the 50th year of the iconic Rolex Oyster chronometer.
