Deadline Hollywood's 'The Contenders' Today

REMINDER: Deadline Hollywood's 2nd Annual THE CONTENDERS Event will be held today from 10AM-6PM  at LA's Landmark Theatre (Pico & Westwood Blvds). I am very grateful that it is free and over-subscribed. Once again, our specially invited Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences as well as Guild voters will have the opportunity to hear directly from the filmmakers of this year's movie awards season.

We have 13 studios presenting 24 films including: The Master, Silver Linings Playbook, Django Unchained, Quartet, Intouchables, Bully, Flight, Anna Karenina, ParaNorman, Promised Land, Hitchcock, Argo, Cloud Atlas, The Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Lincoln, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Impossible, Arbitrage, Smashed, Brave, Frankenweenie, Wreck-It Ralph and Bernie.

We also will offer the 'Deadline Moguls Panel' where Warner Bros' Jeff Robinov, Twentieth Century Fox's Jim Gianopulos, Sony Pictures Entertainment's Amy Pascal, Paramount's Rob Moore, Universal's Adam Fogelson,  Summit/Lionsgate's Rob Friedman, and DreamWorks's Stacey Snider will discuss the challenges of this movie awards season.

Moderators will be Deadline's Award Columnist Pete Hammond, Film/NY Editor Mike Fleming, and Staff Reporter Dominic Patten.

If you are a voting member of the Academy or a Guild, I urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to hear directly from studio moguls and executives, actors, directors, writers, producers, cinematographers, costume designers, casting directors and others. There is no charge for this event but it is strictly by invitation only and non-transferrable. Seating will be first come/first-served so please arrive early for the morning and afternoon sessions. If there is no space available in the main theater, you may be accomodated in the overflow area. A Continental breakfast as well as a Buffet Lunch provided by The Palm will be served. Identification must be presented at time of check-in even if you have RSVP-ed already.
