Hollywood’s biggest night was celebrated at the annual Awards Viewing Party at a hilltop La Jolla estate. Sponsored by the San Diego International Film Festival, guests strolled the red carpet, sipped cocktails and champagne, and sampled delicious fare at this black-tie event while watching a live telecast of the Academy Awards. The honorary committee included Lise Markham, Kristi Pieper, and Jessica Shaanan.

Proceeds benefitted the festival’s FOCUS on Impact Educational Program “helping to prepare future leaders though the power of film,” said CEO and Artistic Director Tonya Mantooth, the festival’s co-founder. The innovative program gives local high school and college students the opportunity to explore complex social issues through film screenings, an interactive curriculum, and insightful interviews with filmmakers.
