Oscar Parties
SACC-LA
SACC-LA have hosted many pre-Oscar and Oscar parties, over the years, to celebrate Scandinavian, and particularly Swedish success within the entertainment industry. Every year we usually invite the Oscar nominees from Sweden and our neighboring countries to enjoy a lovely evening in their honor together with our members, network and friends. These events are both a fun and an excellent opportunity to make new contacts and expand everyones social and work-related networks.

SACC-LA’s guests had the opportunity to get a preview of the amazing art exhibition “Twin Visions – Jerome Witkin & Joel-Peter Witkin” that is on display at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts starting Saturday, March 1st.
Among the attendees we also had a few Oscar nominees that will be representing Scandinavia on Sunday. The co-producers Jessica Ask and Madeleine Ekman from the Danish movie “The Hunt” joined us and celebrated their nomination in the Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. The team behind “The Hunt” has already received a large number of awards, for instance won a Golden Globe in the category Best Foreign Language Film and the leading actor, Mads Mikkelsen, was awarded for Best Actor in both Cannes Film Festival and Palm Springs International Film Festival.

The Screenwriter Kirsikka Saari and the Producer Elli Toivoniemi from the Finnish short movie “Do I Have to take Care of Everything?” also joined us to celebrate their nomination for Best Live Action Short. See all the red carpet pictures on our facebook page.
The Silent Auction, which is a recurring and greatly appreciated part of our events turned out to be a hit yet again. We would like to give an extra thanks to our Silent Auction sponsors.
