The Hollywood Reporter raised a glass to awards season on Thursday night, hosting studio partners and awards strategists for a cocktail reception in Beverly Hills.
The event, held at Steak 48, welcomed executives from Netflix, Disney, NBCUniversal, AMC, Lionsgate and Nickelodeon for drinks and hors d’oeuvres in the steakhouse’s private back room. THR co-editor-in-chiefs Maer Roshan and Shirley Halperin and THR president Joe Shields were also in attendance.
Guests sipped on a selection of specialty cocktails — aptly named “The FYC,” “AMPAS Compliance,” “Voters Hoarding Hors D’oeuvres” and “That Me Espresso” — and chatted about Hollywood’s upcoming awards extravaganza.
The season has been slowly churning for months amid the fall film festivals, but will kick off in earnest in the new year, as the Golden Globes arrive early on Jan. 5 and the Oscars finish off the festivities on March 2. The Grammys, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Critics Choice Awards, Directors Guild of America Awards, Writers Guild of America Awards, Producers Guild of America Awards and Film Independent Spirit Awards also mark key stops along the way, with plenty of handshaking and For Your Consideration events mixed in.
