Hollywood Today: Oscar-Nominated Film to Receive 'Made in Hollywood Award'

Los Angeles City Councilman Tom LaBonge will present his inaugural "Made in Hollywood Award" to the cast and crew of The Artist Tuesday afternoon.

The award aims to recognize productions made in the city of Los Angeles. The film's shooting locations included the Orpheum Theater, the American Film Institute, Cicada Restaurant, the Bradbury Building, the Wilshire Ebell Building and the Paramount and Warner Bros. backlots.

“We want to recognize and honor productions that are made right here in the cradle of the movie business … Hollywood,” said LaBonge in a press release. “Every movie shot here in Los Angeles brings jobs and revenue to our city, utilizing the best film professionals in the world—from the grips to the caterers, actors to post-production houses.”

A ceremony Tuesday afternoon will be held on the Hollywood soundstage where the final dance number was filmed.
