in mind as Grand Marshal," said
Tournament of Roses President
Sally Bixby. "The theme can
be interpreted as a celebration
of accomplishment, discovery and
travel of course, but equally
valid is its implicit call to
action. We think Dr.
Goodall's life story is a
testament to the sense of
adventure and openness to
possibility that this phrase
suggests: As a young woman,
she defied convention to follow
her dreams, and she has committed
herself to a life of global
citizenship, inspiring children
and adults alike along the
way. 2013 will be the
53rd anniversary of her
field study of the Gombe
chimpanzees. I can think of
no one whose life has better
exemplified our theme and message
than Dr. Jane Goodall. Dr.
Goodall is now an international
icon, but it is her passion for
discovery and how she has used
her celebrity for the betterment
of the world that has drawn us to
her."

Digital Hollywood Fall, Oct.
15-18,
2012
-
Held at the The Ritz Carlton
Hotel, 4375 Admiralty Way, Marina
del Rey,
California.
••••
In an era that has seen the
downsizing or demise of most
household-name tradeshows,
Digital Hollywood is flourishing
as a sort of live-content
aggregator attracting various
industry stalwarts to hold
private meetings all at the same
venue, then network together at
conference tracks, keynote
roundtables and after-hours
parties.
••••
Victor Harwood who is presiding
over several annual trade shows
dealing with entertainment,
media, advertising and technology
events, besides Digital
Hollywood, said back in 2007,
"The idea of putting together a
tradeshow by hassling people to
buy booth space is old -- anyone
who did that is not in business
anymore."
••••
His upcoming Fall confab at the
Ritz Carlton Hotel, in Marina Del
Rey, CA, made up of separate
multi-track but co-located events
is still the only conference that
brings together creatives,
agents, distributors,
technologists, financiers,
lawyers and media -- legally,
it's very hard for a lot of these
people to be in the same room,
unless there's a common purpose
and a common theme. More minds
have been changed -- enlightened,
or made aware of opportunities
and dangers -- at Digital
Hollywood than at any other
conference."

Todd
Haynes Retrospective: Rock Stars
& Cult Films
••••
MUNICH, Germany -- The American
Indie star will be in Munich for
a retrospective of his work at
the 30th FILMFEST, showcasing one
of the most significant
filmmakers from the Indie scene.
Director Todd Haynes will present
the retrospective of his films in
person. "Todd Haynes is one of
the most interesting and most
experimental filmmakers in the
USA," according to festival
director Diana Iljine. "Having
him here in Munich will be one of
the highlights of this year's
festival."
••••
Todd Haynes is best known for
films like I'M NOT THERE (2007)
on the life of Bob Dylan, VELVET
GOLDMINE (1998), a homage to
David Bowie and the era of Glam
Rock, and MILDRED PIERCE (2011)
starring Kate Winslet, the
mini-series which won five
Emmys.
••••
Haynes, who was born in Los
Angeles in 1961, is also a writer
and producer and has always liked
to experiment with narrative
structure. He became known early
on as a particularly innovative
filmmaker. One of his first films
SUPERSTAR: THE KAREN CARPENTER
STORY (1987) is listed as one of
the 50 best cult films of all
time. The 43 minute film focuses
on the life of Karen Carpenter of
the pop duo The Carpenters by
using Barbie dolls. His first
feature-length film POISON won
Haynes the 1991 Grand Jury Prize
at the Sundance Film
Festival.
••••
FAR FROM HEAVEN, his 1950s
melodrama starring Julianne Moore
and Dennis Quaid, which was
nominated for 4 Academy Awards,
was the most successful
independent production of 2002
and won numerous other awards. In
his anti-biopic I'M NOT THERE, he
cast six actors as the legendary
musician (among them Cate
Blanchett, Richard Gere and Heath
Ledger).
••••
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN discovered
the exceptional director fairly
early in his career and screened
his second feature SAFE in
1995.
••••
Todd Haynes will be coming to
Munich with his cameraman of long
standing, Edward Lachman. Lachman
will be member of the ARRI Award
jury that selects the best
non-German film of the
festival.

Haynes will be in the festival
center's Black Box for FILMMAKERS
LIVE to answer questions from the
press and the public.

Le Festival De Cannes, France,
May 16-27 - Celebrates its 65th
Edition and Joins Ranks with Sean
Penn.
By
Josie
Cory
Ever
since its creation, the Festival
de Cannes has remained faithful
to its founding purpose: to draw
attention to and raise the
profile of films with the aim of
contributing towards the
development of cinema, boosting
the film industry worldwide and
celebrating cinema at an
international
level.
•••
Thierry
Frémaux , chief of the
Cannes Film Festival as well as
managing director of the
Institut Lumière de
Lyon, recently stated,
"Cannes belongs to each and every
one of us who, year after year,
from wherever we are and in our
own individual way, contributes
towards creating it step by step.
It is only by constantly
analyzing the Festival, adapting
its function and encouraging
debate about it that we will
continue to make it the very best
it can be. Cannes must be open to
new ideas, while remaining
faithful to its past, of course.
Diversity can only enrich it.
That´s what makes the
Festival de Cannes our
festival."
•••This
year, the Festival de Cannes
welcomes Haiti: Carnival in
Cannes, a benefit event presented
by Giorgio Armani in support of
Sean Penn's J/P HRO, Paul Haggis'
Artists for Peace and Justice and
Petra Nemcova's Happy Heart's
Fund for their united and
extraordinary work in Haiti.
•••
To help them carry out
their extraordinary work and to
pay tribute to their tireless
humanitarian activities, the
Festival de Cannes is hosting a
gala fund raising event in
support of the Haitian cause.
This event is the first of its
kind for the Festival de Cannes,
since the benefit screening of Il
était une fois,
l'Amérique by Sergio Leone
in 1984 in support of the
Institut Pasteur, and the
screening of Paolo and Vittorio
Taviani's film Elective
Affinities in 1996, in support of
the reconstruction of the
Fenice.
•••
Sean Penn has a very close
connection with the Festival de
Cannes, having presented films in
Competition (including The Pledge
in 2001, which he directed) and
in Un Certain Regard, and he
served as President of the Jury
in 2008.
•••
The Festival de Cannes is
very proud to join ranks with
Sean Penn, Paul Haggis and Petra
Nemcova in their fight to help
Haiti and its inhabitants.
•••
Gilles Jacob commented,
"People say that a great actor is
by nature egocentric, and that a
great director is focussed on his
art. Sean Penn is both a great
actor and director. What he does
above and beyond that for the
people and the land of Haiti,
giving freely of himself, his
abiding presence, his work
&endash; one could almost say the
work of his own hands &endash;
his whole discreet, human, moral
and altruistic involvement as a
benefactor, commands our greatest
respect."
•••
Thierry Fremaux commented,
"Sean Penn is a good friend of
the Festival de Cannes, he came
in Competition as an actor and as
a director, he was President of
the Jury. But it is not the only
reason why we offered to receive
him. We are greatly fascinated by
his permanent and long-lasting
commitment to Haiti's recovery.
And we are very pleased to be a
part of this evening which
intends to raise money and honor
the Haitians themselves."
•••
Giorgio Armani added, "I
am proud to stand alongside Sean
Penn, a man cut from a very rare
cloth. He first captivated me as
an astonishing actor. Then as a
respected director. Then as a
loyal friend. And now, as a life
changer. It is an honor to be a
part of Sean's remarkable life of
service by joining his
humanitarian efforts for the
people of Haiti. For this to come
to fruition at the prestigious
Cannes Film Festival marks a
career milestone for me, and
demonstrates what happens when
you work with Sean, a world-class
force of nature."

The device, and the elements and

KENTUCKY
•••The

•••
The five chapters of WiTEL
facts, and true-life adventures
of one of the most unsung
inventors in history, whose
revolutionary innovations have
effected every human being on the
planet over the last three
generations! Based on the true
story of inventor and part-time
melon farmer Nathan B.
Stubblefield's (and subsequently
his grandson Troy Cory's) battle
with the government and U.S.
telephone industry.
•••
"Firewire" tells the tale
of two very different men from
two very different eras who share
not only the same blood, but the
same fight - whose battle to
receive recognition for the
invention of the wireless
telephone would come at a heavy
price. But the determined
small-town inventor and the
impassioned big-city entertainer
both refused to be silenced, and
they took on the rural
backstabbers and the corporate
titans alike in a battle that
nobody thought either  could
win.
•••
The Stubblefields started
out as a typical 1880's Kentucky
family, trying to live their
version of the American Dream,
but ended up as anything but!
When Nathan invents a unique
device that he prophesied would
eventually be used by nearly
everyone in the world &endash; he
was not far from wrong. Decades
later, when his grandson learns
that it was his relative who
indeed invented the wireless
phone, Cory thinks he's struck
gold. But his aspirations are
dashed after the telephone
monopolies and political pirates
who initially seized
Stubblefield's creation as their
own are just as determined to
shut out his descendant decades
later, as well.
•••Ignored,
threatened and then buried in
years of struggle, Cory is
haunted by what was done to his
family. He becomes a man obsessed
with justice and the conviction
that his grandfather's life work
&endash; or for that matter,
anyone's work &endash; be
acknowledged by those who stood
to benefit. And while paying the
toll for refusing to compromise
his dignity, this everyday David
will try the unthinkable: to
strategically bring Goliath to
his knees in a cooperation with
truth and justice for all.
--Donna Jeffries

"You don't get to bust through
the
airwaves without catching a
little static
•••
Across the landscape of
the American Industrial
Revolution, within the field of
urban electrification and
communication, the legacy of
prominent inventors such as
George Westinghouse, Thomas
Edison, and Alexander Graham Bell
stand proud. Their achievements
celebrated, their status
recognized. But they do not stand
alone. Concealed by the shadows
of history, and even more by the
deviousness of corrupt men in
power, is the figure of Nathan B.
Stubblefield, a contemporary of
those great men and one of that
era's most innovative and
prolific inventors..
•••
At the time of his death
in 1928, Stubblefield had been
granted dozens of patents, mostly
relating to electrical and
wireless technologies. His
inventions completely
revolutionized the world of
communications that we know
today, yet not many people even
know his name. With over 5.6
billion wireless phones in use
today - there's no denying,
wireless technology has
irreversibly changed the
world..
•••
This story will open your
eyes and challenge what you think
you know about not only your cell
phone, but the challenges and the
victories that brought these
innovations to us in the first
place. More importantly, it gives
us insight into the human tragedy
and triumph that was and still is
a part of the reality of our most
innovative technological pioneers
today in America. --Donna

MIP, Palais des Festivals,
Cannes,
France.
Cannes,
April 1 -- Fremantle announces a
new collaboration with Hulu; and
David Ellender who runs Fremantle
Media Enterprises, has signed a
major first-look deal with
producer Justin Bodle (The Day of
the Triffids, Flood, Colditz,
Archangel Crusoe) the night
before the MIPTV market opened
today. The Bodle deal closely
follows another FremantleMedia
deal with UK celebrated writer
Paul Abbott ("Hit and Miss")
debuting in May on the UK's Sky
Atlantic.
Drama is in - and so
are 'New Players'
••••
In
the wake of the internatonal
successes of dramas like
Downton Abby and Mad
Men, there is renewed interst
from broadcasters in quality,
scripted dramas, but it is not
only the traditional TV
broadcasters who are showing
renewed interest in drama.
Joining the international set of
channel and programming
executives that traditionally
populate Cannes at this time of
year, are the new players, from
Amazon, Netflix and Facebook to
Hulu and YouTube.
••••In
particular the subscription
services like Netflix and Amazon
are interested in long-running
dramas because of the simple fact
that they work really well in an
on-demand, binge-viewing
environment, according to
executives who are negotiating
with them.
••••The
"disruptors" Like Hulu, Netflix
and Google TV have all reached
the same conclusion that
high-quality video is crucial to
their growth plan," and they are
certainly eager to work with the
TV makers, with both MySpace
TV--which is set to launch this
summer in the US under its new
ownership that includes Justin
Timberlake -- and Amazon telling
delegates today at MIPTV that
they want to license TV
content. "If you are not
already talking to us you should
be," said Amazon's global head of
digital video Anthony Bay.
•••Amazon
held separate meetings in London
last week with all the big studio
heads, according to an industry
source to lay out its European
plans which include adding
France, Spain and Italy. "Amazon
clearly is trying to pre-empt
Netflix's next moves in Europe in
talking about multi-territory
deals." • CLICK

115-The
123rd Tournament of Roses
Parade
- By Gary
Sunkin
•••
The
Pasadena Tournament of Roses is a
volunteer organization that
annually hosts the Rose
Parade® presented by Honda,
Rose Bowl Game® presented by
VIZIO and various associated
event..
••• It has
come a long way since its early
days. The Rose Parade's elaborate
floats now feature high-tech
computerized animation and exotic
natural materials from around the
world. Although a few floats are
still built exclusively by
volunteers from their sponsoring
communities, most are built by
professional float building
companies and take nearly a year
to construct. The year-long
effort pays off on New Year's
morning, when millions of viewers
around the world enjoy the Rose
Parade.
•••
The
first Rose Queen was crowned in
1905, and every year since 1929,
Rose Queens and Rose Princesses
have been a part of the
Tournament of Roses.
•••
From "2010: A Cut Above
The Rest," "Building Dreams,
Friendships and Memories" in
2011, to this year's theme
"Just
Imagine," the 123rd
Rose Parade presented by Honda,
will take place Monday, Jan. 2,
2012, at 8 a.m. (PST) featuring
majestic floral floats,
high-stepping equestrian units
and spirited marching bands.
•••
As Grand Marshal, Iraq war
verteran, R.J. Martinez will ride
in the 123rd Rose Parade in front
of a worldwide television
audience. Following the parade,
the 98th Rose Bowl Game presented
by VIZIO will kick off at 2:10
p.m. (PST) and feature an
exciting match-up
betweenWisconsin Badgers Vs.
Oregon Ducks, two of the top
collegiate football teams in the
nation.
•••
The
Rose Bowl is nicknamed "The
Granddaddy of Them All" because
it is the oldest bowl game. It
was first played in 1902, and has
been played continuously since
1916. Since 1945, it has been the
highest attended college football
bowl game.It is a part of the
Tournament of Roses "America's
New Year Celebration."
•
Past Grand Marshals of the Rose
Parade 1890 - 2012
•••Every
Parade needs a Grand Marshal, and
the Rose Parade has had some of
the world's most distinguished
individuals serving in that
honored position. Past Grand
Marshals have included actors,
astronauts, writers, artists,
athletes and political
figures.
•••Early
Grand Marshals were local heroes,
many of them Tournament
organizers. The first Grand
Marshal from outside Pasadena was
San Francisco Mayor James Rolph
in 1930, and as the Tournament
grew, so did the stature of its
Grand Marshals. Mary Pickford,
Earl Warren, Dwight D.
Eisenhower, Gregory Peck, Bob
Hope, Erma Bombeck, Henry "Hank"
Aaron, the Apollo 12 astronauts,
John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Kate
Smith, Gerald Ford, Lee Iaccoca,
James Stewart, Pele and Angela
Lansbury are just a few of the
distinguished individuals who
have held the honored position.
1966 Grand Marshal Walt Disney
rode in the Parade with Mickey
Mouse, and Edgar Bergen brought
Charlie McCarthy along in 1940.
Shirley Temple, who was a 10-year
old movie star when she led the
50th Rose Parade returned as
diplomat Shirley Temple Black to
serve as Grand Marshal of the
Tournament's Centennial
celebration in 1989.

Short for Marché
International du
Disque et de

-
since 1967 has been held
annually at and around the Palais
des Festivals in Cannes, France.
It is the world's largest music
industry trade fair, Bringing
together musicians,
businesspeople, cultural policy
makers, and journalists from many
countries, it provides a forum
for business talks, discussing
political and legal issues, and
showcasing new artists, musical
trends and music-related
products. A series of conferences
are notably organised, in keeping
with MIDEM's growing vocation to
educate the industry about new
revenue streams.
•••
In spite of a large number of
concerts, MIDEM considers itself
primarily a marketplace, thus the
artists who present are those who
either run an enterprise of their
own, or have been invited to
promote companies. Although major
labels and other corporate actors
dominate the scene at MIDEM, its
events also include the
International Indie Summit.
•••
MIDEM
also acts as a venue for the NRJ
Music Awards (since 2000), where
French radio station NRJ welcomes
the world's biggest pop stars to
the Palais des Festivals the

"Europe Through the Back

Rick Steves will be one of
the headliners at the LA Times
Travel Show held at the LA

•••
In November 2011, KCET
presented the popular Travel
Skills Talk seminar, "Europe
Through the Back Door" by
acclaimed travel expert and
best-selling author, Rick Steves.
Steves offered guests practical,
money-saving tips about
independent travel and the best
European adventures. Following
the presentation, guests were
treated to a European-themed
reception and book signing.
••••
In Europe through the Back
Door, he shared lessons he's
learned from a lifetime of
travel. His entertaining,
information-packed two-hour
slideshow lecture taught all the
latest on stretching your travel
dollar, avoiding crowds, packing
smart, and eating and sleeping
well.
••••
When he's ripped off on
the road, he celebrates, happy to
go home and teach his traveling
students about the latest scam.
"Learn from my mistakes rather
than your own," he told the
audience. After spending a third
of his adult life living out of a
rucksack in Europe, Rick knows
exactly how you can enjoy maximum
travel thrills for every mile,
minute, and dollar in your next
adventure.
••••
When asked by TVI
iPublisher Troy Cory, if he
considered himself an American or
a 'United Statian,' Steves just
puasing for a second replied, "I
haven't really concerned myself
with this." However, to Mr Cory's
delight. Steves used the
expression a few times during his
continued lecture. Rick also
wanted his audience to know that
during all his travels, he found
that American (or United
Statians) were very well liked
abroad. "Though people abroad may
disagree with US policies, they
do like Americans and their
relaxed manner." Steves said.
••••
Rick Steves, is author of
50 guidebooks including the
travel skills handbook. In
Rick Steves Europe, he shares
his extensive knowledge of
European history, art and
culture. His years as America's
most popular European guidebook
author blends with his relaxed
but informative style to make
this one of public television's
most watched travel shows.

- 1st - 2nd - 3rd - 4th Quarter:
•
115 LA AutoShow -
2011
 The
L.A. Auto
Show
will host some of the
industry's most important new
vehicle debuts and set the tone
for the rest of the year.
More than 50 Vehicles (20 World
Debuts and More than 30 North
American) will Debut at the LA
Auto Show 2011 when it opens for
the Press Nov. 16 & 17 and
Nov. 18-27 for the public).
••••
Mazda CEO Takashi
Yamanouchi to Open show with
Motor Press Guild Keynote
address. This will be the 13th
year the MPG presentation has
opened the LA Auto Show Press
Days. Preceding the keynote
speech will be a welcome address
from Mitch Bainwol, the
newly-named president and CEO of
the Alliance of Automobile
Manufacturers.
•
As a bright spot in the overall
economy,
the auto industry
continues its momentum at the
L.A. Show, highlighted by more
than 22 manufacturer press
conferences. It will be clear
that automakers have invested
significantly to deliver vehicles
consumers want, featuring an
unprecedented number of
technological advancements,
improved performance and design,
all while decreasing carbon
emissions. In addition to the
1,000 new vehicles at the show, a
significant number of
manufacturers have upgraded
exhibit spaces and added enhanced
features with more interactive
content and experiences. There
will also be more than a
half-dozen test drives that put
consumers in the seats and on the
streets in some new vehicles on
select days.
•
Notable this year,
will be a significant
increase in fuel efficiency
across the board in all
categories. Nearly 20
highly-efficient, 40-mpg-plus
vehicles, using internal
combustion engines--such as the
world debut of the Chevrolet
Spark-- will be at the Show. A
renaissance is underway for the
four-cylinder engine, which in an
era of rising gas prices and
concern for fuel economy has
become a powerplant of choice for
many automakers.

Completely
reengineered,
to deliver the
power
and torque normally
associated with larger
displacement engines, four
cylinder designs are not just
powering compacts, but finding
their way into multiple
platforms. Most notably, the
hotly contested small crossover
segment will feature two
head-to-head competitive world
debuts--the Ford Escape and Honda
CRV. Mazda also has a new entry
in this category with the North
American debut of its all-new
CX-5 crossover.
•
Underscoring
that many solutions exist,
for
reducing carbon emissions,
a whole pack of electric
vehicles are in or entering
production and will be
highlighted at the show,
including Mitsubishi's
all-electric i, the Ford Focus
Electric, BMW's i3 Concept,
CODA's Sedan, Nissan's LEAF and
an import from Croatia, the
DOK-ING XD. Hybrids and plug-in
hybrids continue to grow and
highlights at the show include
the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid,
the new Honda Civic Hybrid and
the updated Honda Insight Hybrid.
BMW will also have its
groundbreaking, i8 plug-in hybrid
sports coupe concept.
•
More
than half of the 50 L.A. Show
debuts,
fall in the
performance and luxury vehicle
category like the Audi R8 GT
Spyder, Porsche 911 and Jaguar
C-X16 sports car concept. Bentley
is returning to Los Angeles this
year, premiering the marque's
2012 Continental GTC ultra-luxury
convertible. The show will also
feature the BMW M5, the
fifth-generation edition of the
sports sedan, now powered by a
4.4-liter, turbocharged, V8
engine; the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Roadster, an open-top power
statement with a 563-horsepower,
6.2-liter engine producing 479
lb-ft of torque; and what GM is
calling the world's most powerful
production convertible, the 2013
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, boasting
580 hp produced by a supercharged
6.2-liter V8. The AMG Roadster
and Camaro convertible are just
two of at least a half dozen
convertibles debuting at the
Show.
•
The
performance and luxury category
is also noteworthy
this year for being a showcase
for new entries into the segment,
including Hyundai's continued
push upward with the premiere of
the 2012 Azera, as well as the
U.S. debut of entirely new
manufacturers, like the Mastretta
MXT from Mexico. And, showing
performance attributes are
crossing traditional lines, the
Fiat 500 Abarth demonstrates the
further evolution of the
once-overlooked compact category.
A modified, 135-horsepower
version of the recently reborn
Fiat 500, the 500 Abarth, will
join other "super" compact debuts
including the Ford Fiesta ST and
the Mazda3 SKYACTIV.
•
High-tech
systems have become,
one of the most
important features of the car
itself. New technology to look
for at the Show includes advanced
applications of Bluetooth, radar
sensors, embedded telephony and
cloud computing. In use, these
high-tech systems give drivers
hands-free access to personal
data, communications, audio
entertainment, social networking
and advanced safety measures
previously unimaginable. New
technology developments unveiled
at the show are expected from
Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Ford,
Hyundai, Kia, Lexus,
Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Volkswagen
and others.
•
The
automakers aren't the only
exhibitors,
debuting new vehicles
and products at the show. The
L.A. Auto Show also has an entire
hall dedicated to the latest
specialty vehicles, automotive
accessories and customizing
trends. Everything from exotic
custom cars, wheels, tires and
performance products, to the
latest mobile, audio and
entertainment systems can be
found in Kentia Hall. A few
highlights include Galpin Auto
Sports (GAS) showcase of more
than 15 custom vehicle premieres,
including the 2012 Ford Explorer
XXVI, with a heart pounding
2000 WATT sound system; a
1,000 horsepower wide-body 2012
Shelby Supersnake and "Thunder,"
a highly modified 540 horsepower
2012 Ford F-150. High-end tuners
and performance experts such as
Specialty Car Craft, RTW Motoring
and Platinum Motorsports will be
on hand to showcase the ultimate
in modified ex otic, luxury and
sports cars from around the
world.

NATPE's Brandon Tartikoff Legacy
Award is presented each year at a
special reception during the
annual NATPE Market &
Conference. Ebersol, Mary Hart,
Regis Philbin and Gerhard Zeiler
will receive NATPE||Content
First's 8th annual Brandon
Tartikoff Legacy
Award,
to be presented on Tuesday, Jan.
25 during the NATPE 2011 Market
& Conference, at the
Fontainebleau Resort in Miami
Beach.
•
Proceeds benefit the
NATPE Educational Foundation.
Named in honor of Brandon
Tartikoff, arguably one of
television's greatest
programmers, the Brandon
Tartikoff Legacy Award was
created to recognize the
extraordinary passion,
leadership, independence and
vision in creating television
programming that defined
Tartikoff's character and career.
•••Tartikoff
spent 11 years as head of
entertainment programming for
NBC.
•••To
consider all that Brandon
Tartikoff accomplished as
president of NBC Entertainment,
it's important to remember how
bad NBC was in 1981, when, at 31,
Tartikoff took over. But in a few
short years, after hits
like
Cheers, Hill Street Blues, The
Cosby Show, Family Ties, Golden
Girls and St. Elsewhere, NBC was
not only on top of the ratings
but did so with the creation of
programs that were to this day
among the best in TV
history.
•Part

•
About the Brandon Tartikoff
Legacy Award Recipients.
Tartikoff passed away in 1997, at
the age of 48,
from Hodgkin's
disease, which he had
fought-unknown to all but a few
close friends-since he was just
out of college. The Brandon
Tartikoff Legacy Awards began in
2004, and have become an honor
that program executives and
creators
treasure.
•••Individuals
are nominated for Award
consideration with the oversight
of NATPE's Executive Committee
and the executive editorial
staffs of Broadcasting &
Cable, Multichannel News and
Variety.
Broadcasting & Cable,
Multichannel News, Variety and
NBC Universal are proud sponsors
of this prestigous
event.
•••Those
who knew Tartikoff appreciated
his sense of humor and his
respect for the creative process.
He made the television industry
better, as this year's four
winners.
•••"We
believe that this year's
recipients, Dick, Mary, Regis and
Gerhard have remarkably shaped
the global television industry on
both business and pop cultural
levels, and truly embody the
spirit of the Brandon Tartikoff
Legacy Award," said Rick Feldman,
NATPE President &
CEO.
 •••"Both
NATPE and Lilly Tartikoff Karatz
are delighted to honor the
recipients' storied careers
through this special
celebration."
•
Dick Ebersol - A prolific
producer and
executive,
Dick Ebersol is currently the
Chairman of NBC Universal Sports
& Olympics, and in the past
three decades has produced eight
of the top 10 most-watched
television events in U.S.
history. Responsible for
award-winning sports,
entertainment and news
productions, Ebersol negotiated
an unprecedented number of Summer
and Winter Olympics broadcasting
rights deals for NBC,
establishing NBC as "America's
Olympic Network." Not only a
powerhouse sports broadcasting
executive, Ebersol also conceived
and created Saturday Night Live
with Lorne Michaels. He was
awarded the Olympic Order in 1992
by the International Olympic
Committee and is a part of the
U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame.

during the 2008 presidential
campaign.

awarded a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame. She is also
actively involved in several
philanthropic organizations
dedicated to children. Earlier
this year Hart announced that the
2010-2011 season will be her last
as host of ENTERTAINMENT
TONIGHT.
•
Regis Philbin - is an Emmy
Award-winning broadcasting
industry
icon.
Since first stepping in front of
the camera more than 40 years
ago, he has ambitiously tackled
talk shows, game shows, the
literary world and even the music
industry. Philbin is best known
for his many years as co-host of
the nationally-syndicated morning
program "LIVE! with Regis and

 his
daytime success to primetime as

Millionaire."
• 03 Regis

The Hollywood Foreign Press
Association,
ªHFPAº
--
has selected
actress Gia Mantegna, as Miss
Golden Globe 2011 for The 68th
Annual Golden Globe® Awards.
HFPA President Philip Berk made
the announcement at The First
Party of the 2011 Golden Globe
Award Season, hosted by the HFPA
and
InStyle.
•••
Chosen
by the HFPA, Miss and/or Mr.
Golden Globe is traditionally the
child of a well-known celebrity
and assists during the Golden
Globe Awards
ceremony.
•••
Previous
Miss Golden Globe honorees
include Laura Dern (daughter of
Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern), Joely
Fisher (daughter of Connie
Stevens and Eddie Fisher),
Melanie Griffith (daughter of
Tippi Hedren) and last year's
honoree Lorraine Nicholson
(daughter of Jack
Nicholson). Previous Mr.
Golden Globes include John Clark
Gable and Freddie Prinze, Jr.
•
The Golden Globe Award is
presented by --
the Hollywood Foreign Press
Association (HFPA) in recognition
of excellence in film and
television, domestic as well as
foreign production. These
prestigious Globes awards are one
of the three most popular, widely
acclaimed and most watched award
shows on
television.
•••
This
year's annual January event, the
68th Annual Golden Globe Awards
was hosted by Ricky Gervais, the
British comedian and creator of
The Office and the ceremony was
telecast live from the Beverly
Hilton Hotel in Los
Angeles.
•
About the Hollywood Foreign Press
Association
--
•••
The
Hollywood Foreign Press
Association is known worldwide
for its glittering Golden Globe
Awards ceremony held every
January and its multi-million
dollar donations to charity. The
Hollywood Foreign Press
Association had humble origins
that stemmed solely from a group
of journalists' desire to cover
all aspects of the world of
entertainment.
•••
Today's
organization has its roots in the
early 1940s when Pearl Harbor had
drawn America into World War
II. Audiences, hungry for
diversion, were seeking out films
offering escape, inspiration and
entertainment; and filmmakers
such as Orson Welles, Preston
Sturges, Darryl Zanuck and
Michael Curtiz were working hard
to fulfill the
need.
•••
Amid
the turmoil of war and the
difficulties with communications,
a handful of Los Angeles-based
overseas journalists banded
together to share contacts,
information and material. The
idea was not a new one:
previously, in 1928 the Hollywood
Association of Foreign
Correspondents (HAFCO) had been
formed and, in 1935, the Foreign
Press Society appeared. Both were
short-lived.
•
In 1943 the journalists, led by
--
the
correspondent for Britain's Daily
Mail, formed the Hollywood
Foreign Correspondents
Association and conceived the
motto "Unity Without
Discrimination of Religion or
Race." It was an uphill
struggle at first as the film
industry had not yet realized the
importance of foreign
markets. At first the
members held informal gatherings
in private homes. As the
membership grew, HFPA meetings
were held in larger quarters,
with the association selecting
the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel as
the location for group
functions.
•••
The
group's first special event was a
luncheon in December 1947, at
which a meritorious plaque was
awarded to Harry M.
Warner.
•••
As
representatives of the world
press, the group's members felt
it was incumbent upon them to
give their audience their
judgments as to Hollywood's
finest productions. The
organization's first awards
presentation for distinguished
achievements in the film industry
took place in early 1944 with an
informal ceremony at 20th Century
Fox.
•••
In
1945, the members of the
association held a contest to
find a design for a statuette
that would best represent the
overall aims of the
organization. Marina
Cisternas, president (1945-46)
presented the idea for a golden
globe encircled with a strip of
motion picture film, and mounted
on a
pedestal.
•
In
1950 differing philosophies among
members --
created
a schism within the organization,
resulting in a split into two
separate groups -- The Hollywood
Foreign Correspondents
Association and the Foreign Press
Association of
Hollywood.
•••
For
a time, the two organizations
existed side by side, with one
group handing out Golden Globes
while the other awarded
Henriettas, named for their
president, Henry
Gris.
•
The Hollywood Foreign Press
Association,
ªHFPAº --
•••
The
separation ended in 1955 when the
journalists reunited under the
collective title "The Hollywood
Foreign Press Association" with
firm guidelines and requirements
for
membership.
•••
During
its early years the HFPA
established itself with the
studios by innovations such as
its World Favorites awards, which
it came up with by polling more
than 900 newspapers, magazines
and radio stations around the
world. The group also came up
with the idea of "bon voyage"
interview lunches with actors and
actresses who were leaving to
make films in countries
represented by the
members.
•••
In
1955 the Golden Globes began
honoring achievements in
television as well as in
film.
•
The HFPA is currently celebrating
its 66th --
anniversary
in Hollywood. Today, the
Golden Globes recognize
achievements in 25 categories; 14
in motion pictures and 11 in
television. dick clark
productions has produced the
Golden Globes ceremony since
1983.

surrounding a new age of

• FCC
reclassification proposal would
not give the FCC power to control
prices or demand
line-sharing.
••••Rate
regulation and line sharing are
off the table," FCC Chairman
Julius Genachowski said, during
the recent Cable Show in Los
Angeles, where he defended to a
skeptical audience the FCC's
recent decision to partially
reclassify broadband providers as
common carriers under section two
of the Communications Act. The
FCC chief pledged to retain a
light touch over broadband
regulation, after a court ruling
last month threw into doubt the
agency's authority.
••••
The top U.S.
communications regulator said,
"government and broadband
providers can find a solution to
overcome industry fears of
potential heavy regulation of the
Internet."
••••
There's still a lot of
detail to be hashed out here, and
the proposal must be opened to
public comment and then receive
approval from at least three of
the five FCC Commissioners.
Genachowski appears to be trying
to please everybody -- which may
or may not work.
••••
Again, the debate is open
to policy makers for years to
come -- but it appears that the
FCC is trying to find some kind
of middle ground between
carriers, who of course would
love an FCC that had no authority
of any kind and consumer
advocates (who want a tough
regulator on the go crafting new
regulations).
••••
The key is to drive
greater broadband adoption.
"Getting people to adopt
broadband is as near win-win for
the government and the industry
as I've ever seen," Genachowski
said.
••••
He insisted that his
proposal explicitly would not
give the FCC power to control
prices or demand
line-sharing.
Rate regulation and line sharing
are off the table," Genachowski
said.
••••
The problem is that the
recent court case Comcast brought
against the FCC and decided in
favor of Comcast damaged the
legal foundation supporting
everything the FCC would like to
do to promote broadband adoption,
which Genachowski said the FCC
has been articulating clearly all
along.
••••
The Comcast decision, he
said, doesn't change the FCC's
aims or policy goals at all. The
question, he said, "is how do we
get back to a solid legal
foundation to do what we want to
do &endash; and not more. We
reject both extremes. One extreme
is to do nothing. The other is to
implement all of Title II"
&endash; the provisions in
telecommunications law that give
the FCC very broad and intrusive
control over telephony.
••••
He said that the "third
way" approach is to pare down
Title II to only those provisions
that allow the FCC to encourage
broadband adoption. "Our staff
has developed a narrow approach
with barriers against regulatory
creep, and regulatory
over-reaching, and gets us to a
legal foundation similar to where
we were before the Comcast
decision." CLICK

The
business of independent motion
picture production and
distribution - a truly
collaborative process - reaches
its peak every year at the

Founded in 1981, the American
Film Market (AFM) has grown
steadily to become the premiere
global marketplace where
Hollywood's decision-makers and
trendsetters all gather under one
roof. Unlike a film festival, the
AFM is a marketplace where
production and distribution deals
are closed. In just eight days,
more than $800 million in deals
will be sealed &emdash; on both
completed films and those that
haven't started shooting yet
&emdash; making AFM the
must-attend industry event.

The Loews Santa Monica Beach
Hotel and the Le Merigot Beach
Hotel are converted into a busy
marketplace. All 23 screens on
the Santa Monica Promenade and
the surrounding community become
AFM screening rooms for the
entire eight-day event and eight
digital and video screening rooms
are added just for the AFM.
Participants may view more than
900 screenings of approximately
500 films - 31 new films every
two hours - the majority of them
world or U.S. premieres.
•••
Titles range from big budget
blockbusters that will be
released by the major studios in
the U.S., to lower budget art and
genre films recognized at
international film festivals, all
destined for theaters and
television around the world.

With
the economy

the ranks of the unemployed

underway to determine the fate of
U.S. automakers, GM, Ford and
Chrysler, the last thing we seem

came about after World War
II.
