Selected finalist films will be screened at the Hollywood Film Screenings™ and winners will be announced at the Hollywood Discovery Awards® Ceremony.

OSCAR® BUZZ OPPORTUNITIES: The festival provides a great platform to quality films, both from major studios and independents, to be highlighted during the festival, so that they build buzz for the kudos season including the Oscars®. In the last three years alone, a total of 44 Oscar® nominations and 9 Oscars® were given to films we showcased and to the nominees and honorees of our Hollywood Awards. In prior years, many of our films, nominees, and honorees such as Russell Crowe, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Haggis, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Ben Kingsley, Baz Luhrman, Joaquin Phoenix, Julia Roberts, Martin Scorsese, Charlize Theron and many others have received major acclaim and success with Academy Award nominations and Oscar® wins.

Our premieres have included films from DreamWorks, Lions Gate Films, Miramax, Newmarket, Paramount Studios and United Artists, among many other major and independent distributors, and our Hollywood Awards Gala Ceremony nominees, honorees and presenters have been a virtual "who's who" of Hollywood's A-list talent and Hollywood studio executives.

ACCESS TO ACADEMY VOTERS: Other important components of our festival and awards ceremony include our special issues with Variety and Screen International and our promotional initiatives with major media outlets to promote our events (Entertainment Tonight and PRNewswire among others). Therefore, films showcased during the festival, as well as our Hollywood Awards nominees and honorees, reach a great number of Academy voters due to their participation in our events.

The festival program includes screenings of both domestic and international films, as well as emerging and established filmmakers and has nightly red-carpet gala premieres. The film screenings include Asian Cinema, European Cinema, Hollywood Cinema and Latin Cinema. All screenings and premieres take place at the state-of-the-art ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood.

We offer both beginning and established filmmakers what they need most: multiple marketing opportunities.
