Review:
"The absolute must-attend after-party of Saturday night is being held at the Asper mansion... I'm introduced to Sarah Slean by a mutual friend. She looks absolutely beautiful, and she's quite charming and humble. I wish her luck for her nomination, and she says, "I'm hoping Ron Sexsmith wins... He really deserves it!" She invites us back to her hotel for drinks, but cooler heads prevail—it's late and tomorrow's going to be absolutely packed." - Jeff Hannaford, Flare.com
