Music, Gourmet buffet and an “Oscar” for everyone

Everybody was a star at the Oscar Gala at Schatzi’s – More than 500 guests enjoyed the gourmet buffet and the Oscars

Deputy Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany Josef Beck, the artist Iwona Libuda, Gudrun Beck, Dennis F. Fredricks and Alexander (left to right) More than 500 guests celebrated the 74^th Academy Awards on March 24th at Schatzi on Main, the fashionable Santa Monica eatery made famous by its founder Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schatzi’s played host to producers, actors, directors and diplomats on Hollywood’s most festive night, savoring chef Helmut’s gourmet creations at the annual party sponsored by the Film Artists Network, a worldwide independent Filmmakers cooperative, by Showbiz Expo and CineWomen.

Eight big screens brought the Kodak Theater to the seaside restaurant, and live music with Arthur Douglas Jazz Trio provided dancing and added atmosphere as TV camera crews and print journalists from Los Angeles and other nations recorded the action on the red carpet in front of Schatzi as well as inside through the course of the evening.

It was a big evening for Los Angeles’ German speaking community as well. Held at the Austrian-born Terminator’s venue, operated by fellow Graz-ers Maria and Charly Temmel, it was chaired by Chris Pilliczar with co-chairman support from attorney Dennis F. Fredricks with media coordination done by AHA Media’s chief Alexander. Lehar Liquor, a specialty from Vienna made its West Coast debut as co-sponsor of the party. Deputy German Consul General Josef Beck was interviewed on the subject of the Hollywood-German partnership.

For the Film Artist Network, the party was a resounding success, and everyone took home a statuette on the occasion of Hollywood’s big night in 2002. F.A.N. Vice Chairman Chris Pilliczar said the Schatzi’s party is becoming a classic, and looks forward to next year for the 75^th Academy Awards.

Musik, Gourmet-Buffet und ein „Oscar” für jeden Gast

Bei der Oscar-Gala im Schatzi on Main war jeder Gast ein „Star” – Mehr als 500 Gäste genossen das Gourmet-Buffet und die Oscar-Übertragung

Mehr als 500 Gäste feierten die 74. Academy Awards am 24. März im Schatzi on Main, dem In-Restaurant in Santa Monica, das durch seine erlesene Küche und die Zigarrenabende seines Gründers Arnold Schwarzenegger Weltruf erlangte. Das Schatzi war an diesem hohen Feiertag Hollywoods Gastgeber für die Filmindustrie. Produzenten, Schauspieler, Regisseure und Diplomaten und viele andere folgten der Einladung und alle genossen das reichliche All-you-can-eat-Gourmet-Buffet, das Schatzi-Chef Helmut aufgetragen hatte und ebenso die Oscar-Feierlichkeiten, die ihnen auf acht Großbildschirmen und Leinwänden überlebensgroß mundgerecht live aus dem Kodak-Theater serviert wurden. Veranstalter der Gala war das Film Artist Network (FAN), eine Organisation unabhängiger Filmemacher, die jeden Bereich der Filmproduktion einschließt.

Abgerundet wurde der Abend mit Charlie Temmels Eis-Kreationen und Livemusik von Arthur Douglas’ Jazz Trio, die nach der Übertragung für die passende Atmosphäre sorgten. Fernsehteams aus Los Angeles, internationale Kameracrews und Journalisten anderer Medien folgten dem Geschehen von den Anfängen auf dem roten Teppich, den das Schatzi für seine Gäste ausgerollt hatte, bis hin zum harmonischen Ausklang des Abends.

Besonders für die deutschsprachige Gemeinschaft war es ein überaus gelungener Abend. Es wurde im Restaurant gefeiert, das der in Österreich geborene “Terminiator” Schwarzenegger 1991 gründete und das nun von seinen Landsleuten Maria und Charlie Temmel – wie Arnold stammen beide aus Graz – betrieben wird. Die Veranstaltungsleitung hatte Chris Pilliczar (FAN) mit Unterstützung von Dennis F. Fredricks und unter den Sponsoren war Lehar Liquor, ein Spezialitätenanbieter aus Wien, der sich an diesem Abend an der US-Westküste erstmals vorstellte, die Showbiz Expo und CineWomen. Für die Medien-Koordination zeichnete Alexander Hast von der AHA Media Group verantwortlich. Im Verlauf des Abends gab der deutsche Vize-Generalkonsul Josef Beck ein Interview zum Thema der Partnerschaft Hollywoods mit Deutschland.

Für das Film Artist Network war die Veranstaltung ein nachhaltiger Erfolg und jeder Gast nahm eine goldene Statuette, die dem Oscar fast zum Verwechseln ähnlich sah, mit nach Hause.
