The Awards Part Of Awards Season Springs Into Action In The Desert At Star Studded PSIFF Gala
Stars and Oscar contenders turn out for the 36th Annual Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala which kicks off the awards giving part of the season
This year’s 36th edition, the 20th hosted by indefatiguable Mary Hart who keeps it rolling along, no break for chat and dinner because once it starts you just eat while you applaud the many stars, and equally starry presenters handing them their very, shall we say, unique statuettes. And unlike every other single awards ceremony in the season, this is the only one with a full orchestra playing on each winner with music associated with them, beginning with Hart who entered the stage to the familiar theme from Entertainment Tonight(where I also happily worked with her in the show’s first decade). And before any of the stars enter they have to run a gauntlet from the red carpet outside, past applauding and adoring well dressed attendees lined up on both sides through the lobby and inside the ballroom until finally reaching studio-bought tables not in front, but in the center, the 800s.
