With all of the excitement over the Academy Awards this weekend everyone is getting ready for the big night with pre-Oscar parties. One pre-Oscar party, in its 3rd year, is the Global Green Pre-Oscar Party. While the Oscars are associated with being an elaborate extravaganza with ornate gowns from the creme de la creme of the fashion industry and the most expensive pieces of jewelry, I loved the idea of the glitz and glam being turned into a good cause.
The Global Green Pre-Oscar party was held last night at Avalon in Hollywood and was co-chaired by top celebrities like Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz, Leonardo DiCaprio and Edward Norton. The Pre-Oscar party was to benefit Global Green USA’s global warming initiative and the rebuilding of a green New Orleans and Gulf Coast. Guests were served organic wine, beer and cocktails and the group showcased smart solutions to global warming climate change. The party wasn’t focused on who will win Best Actress, but instead it was for the purpose of raising awareness to the cause and raise funds in the process.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks this is an incredibly wonderful idea. During a week when we are so focused on who is throwing the most elaborate Oscar parties or wondering who will be wearing the most expensive piece of jewelry around their neck, it’s nice to see an Oscar party that in the end, will be beneficial to us all.
