19TH ANNUAL MMPA OSCAR WEEK LUNCHEON TO HOSTS CELEBS AND STARS AT ANNUAL AFTERNOON AFFAIR

JOIN THE 19TH ANNUAL MMPA OSCAR WEEK LUNCHEON TO HOSTS CELEBS AND STARS AT ANNUAL AFTERNOON AFFAIR

2012 Academy Award nominees, past and present will once again be in full force, as they come out for a star-studded afternoon of camaraderie and praise for young up-and-coming film talent at the Multicultural Motion Picture Association’s (MMPA’s) 19^th annual Oscar® Week luncheon.

The annual event will this year be held at the Sofitel Hotel Los Angeles, on Friday, February 24^th, at 12:00pm, and as in previous years, will be among the highlights of the week’s activities leading up to the Oscars.  The MMPA’s annual luncheon will again be among the hottest tickets in town, this year made even hotter by the buzz surrounding many Golden Globe winners and potential Academy nominees already slated to attend this star-studded affair.

The event, which annually plays host to some of Hollywood’s notable Academy Award nominees and previous winners, will again support talented young filmmaking in their projected endeavors.  Known for bringing out celebrities, producers, directors and writers in support of talented student filmmakers, the affair will only be heightened this year, as many international artists known for some of the year’s hottest sleeper hits have already confirmed their desire to be a part of what has become known as a precursor to the Oscar weekend festivities.

As a part of the annual afternoon affair, awards are presented annually, to filmmakers selected for their creative achievements, vision and technical talent, and in addition to financial awards toward their tuition, film companies traditionally arrange gifts of technical support for scholarship recipients.  MMPA president Jarvee Hutcherson, stated that “after a solid year of burgeoning creative accomplishments on the part of our diverse film community, it continues to be inspiring to see the level of Hollywood talent who continue to express their desire to be a part of this afternoon of philanthropy and giving.”

The prestigious organization of actors, cinematographers, editors, writers, and directors has in the past played host to an array of celebrities and nominees from Salma Hayek, Robert DeNiro, Kate Winslet andDjimon Hounsou to Sandra Bullock, Denzel Washington, and Leonardo DiCaprio among others.  The luncheon is always anticipated and remembered for its spontaneous surprises of high-profile guests and the goodwill shared among colleagues, coming out in support of talented emerging artists.  For further information and tickets contact the MMPA office at (310)497-4554.
