KONTINENT MEDIA AT CHICAGO\'S OFFICIAL OSCAR NIGHT AMERICA PARTY AT GENE SISKEL FILM CENTER
February 26, 2012, Chicago, IL, Kontinent Media at Chicago's Official Oscar Night America Party at Gene Siskel Film Center. While there were many viewing parties and events that evening, this was Chicago's only official Academy-sanctioned Oscar Night® America party. Several hundred well-dressed guests quickly filled the Film Center space. Guests were greeted with Hollywood-style glamour on a red-carpet hosted by Amanda Puck. A buffet dinner, generously donated by MJ Catering, consisted of many entries that were movie-themed. Hollywood's biggest night of the year was displayed via the High-Definition telecast of the 84th Academy Awards® live on ABC-7. We were glad that the winner for the best picture was "The Artist." Overall, it was a wonderful evening that we shared with other fans of the movie magic in attendance, and we thank Gene Siskel Film Center for their organizing and hosting the event.
The Gene Siskel Film Center has presented independent and international movies for 40 years, in addition to many other film-related programs. On the Oscar night, they raise tens of thousands of dollars for the educational programs and for the Chicago Academy for the Arts Scholarship Fund.
