Oscars 2017

As a film aficionado, I always look forward to watch awards show and other special events that related to Oscar like the Hollywood Costume presented in 2014 by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. It was the groundbreaking multimedia exhibition that delves into the role of costume design as an integral tool of cinematic storytelling.Two years ago I went to my first Pre-Oscar Week. I felt the amazing atmosphere – the giant curtain and the Oscar statue, construction on the stage, lighting and audio. It is stunning how they magically convert Hollywood and Highland into one of the glamorous events in the world.

The Hollywood Film Awards which is usually held in November kicks off the awards season – SAG Awards, Critics Choice Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTA Awards, Independent Spirit Awards and of course the Academy Awards. I’m stoked to see two of my favorite movies win awards – La La Land and Lion. La La Land swept the Golden Globes. Will the film directed and written by Damien Chazelle do the same with the Oscars? The 89th Oscars will air Sunday, February 26, live on ABC at 4 pm PT. Jimmy Kimmel will host this year. Jennifer Todd and Mike De Luca are the awards producers.
