Beverly Hills, CA (February 15, 2012) – The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences and humanitarian aid organization FilmAid International will host an Oscar
Night event at the '21' Club in New York City in celebration of the 84th Academy
Awards® on Oscar Sunday, February 26.
Since 1990, the Academy has hosted a New York Oscar celebration for its East
Coast members, many of whom are previous Academy Award® winners or
nominees.
This year's event marks the first time the New York party will benefit a charity. That
organization, FilmAid International, uses the power of film and video to reach the
world's most vulnerable communities and refugee camps with messages that
inspire, address critical shared needs and effect social change.
"Giving back is always close to the Academy's heart, and in FilmAid International, we
have the perfect partners," said Academy President Tom Sherak. "We're thrilled
that we can all come together to both celebrate this year's nominees and advance
the important work FilmAid is doing."
"I really can't overstate the impact of the Academy's financial support of FilmAid
over the years, which has allowed us to reach much further in bringing critical
information and hope to refugees and other communities in need," said Michael
Angst, chairman of FilmAid's board of directors. "Additionally, the personal
involvement of Academy members, such as those that traveled with us during the
delegation trip last summer to the Kakuma refugee camp on the border of South
Sudan, is invaluable in demonstrating the commitment of professionals from the
motion picture industry to leveraging the power of film to help these communities in
crisis."
The '21' Club, located at 21 West 52nd Street, has served as a shooting location for
many of Hollywood's most admired films including "All about Eve" and "Wall Street."
The evening's festivities will kick off with cocktails at 6:30 p.m.; dinner will be served
at 8 p.m. and the live telecast of the 84th Academy Awards begins at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Academy at ampasny@oscars.org.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2011 will be presented on
Sunday, February 26, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and
televised live by the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be
televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.
