Countdown for the Oscars 2010

Petra Schuermann — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 08:26:35 +0000

Oscar wrapped in plastic

The preparations to the world’s largest movie award gala are in full swing on March 4, 2010. German World takes you behind the scenes to Hollywood Boulevard which has been blocked from traffic at Highland Avenue since March 1, 2010. Where hundreds of celebrities will soon stroll along to the cheers of the onlookers, all Oscar statues are still wrapped and the red carpet is covered in plastics on March 4, 2010.

Gloria Pink

After checking out the set-up area, we stopped at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce on Hollywood Boulevard for its annual open house supported by businesses of the Hollywood community. One of them is Gloria Pink, owner of “Pink’s Famous Chili Dogs”, the famous hot dog joint on La Brea Avenue that has become one of Los Angeles’ landmarks. Gloria whose parents started the business in 1939 told German World that Germany’s most famous TV show host , Thomas Gottschalk, once shot a scene for one of his productions at “Pink’s” and became one of her customers. Celebrities like Sandra Bullock, John Malkovich, and Richard Dreyfuss also belong to Pink’s regulars, standing in line just like anybody else. Dreyfuss always comes in for a “Mild Polish Hot Dog with mustard, kraut, fries and a coke”. We tried Pink’s signature “Chilli Hot Dog” and simply loved it.

Pre-Oscar Buzz at Villa Aurora in Los Angeles

GW Editorial Staff — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 08:25:31 +0000

German and Austrian community in Los Angeles Honored German, Austrian, Polish and Israeli Academy Award Nominees
By Petra Schuermann
It was literally rubbing shoulders with the rich and beautiful at Villa Aurora on March 6, 2010, when the German and Austrian community came together in order to celebrate the Oscar nominations of Austrian actor Christoph Waltz (“Inglourious Basterds”), director Michael Haneke (“Das Weisse Band”), cinematographer Christian Berger (Best Camera for “Das Weisse Band”), director Michael Hoffmann (“The Last Station”), Bartek Konopka and Piotr Rosolowski (“Rabbit A La Berlin”). The reception was hosted by “German Films”, Villa Aurora, the Consulate General and the Goethe Institut in Los Angeles and supported by Audi, the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg GmbH, Mitteldeutsche Medienfoerderung, Volvic and Carpe Diem. Among the guests who were welcomed by Villa Aurora’s new director Imogen von Tannenberg and “German Films”’ Oliver Mahrdt, we also saw Yaron Shani, director and writer of the Israeli Oscar contender “Ajami”, co-produced by Studio Babelsberg and competing against “Das Weisse Band” for the Oscar of “Best Foreign Language Film”. “It was a very pleasant experience”, Yaron Shani told German World, “to work with the team of Studio Babelsberg. It was great to have such a strong and experienced partner.”
Due to the rainy weather in Los Angeles, the reception could only take place inside of the Villa Aurora, and due to the many German and Austrian Oscar nominees this year, the media attention from Germany was extraordinary. More than 400 guests who were brought from the shuttle stop to the villa by a shiny, white Audi TDI Diesel fleet, TV crews of ZDF, ARD, ProSieben, RTL and SAT.1 as well as representatives of Spiegel online, Bunte, dpa, Berliner Zeitung, Kronenzeitung and many more packed the relatively small premises of the Villa Aurora. Even guests of honor like Leonie Benesch and Christian Friedel (starring in “The White Ribbon) and cinematographer Christian Berger (“The White Ribbon”) could hardly reach the welcome area to be introduced to the guests. Among them were German film producer Bernd Eichinger and his wife, the German actors Moritz Bleibtreu (“The Baader Meinhof Komplex”) and Clemens Schick (“Casino Royale”; “Unschuldig”), Leonie Benesch and Christian Friedel (starring in “The White Ribbon), cinematographer Christian Berger, Juergen Prochnow (“Das Boot”), and winner of “Germany’s Next Top Model” Sara Nuru.

Oktoberfest Standard, October 2009

GW Editorial Staff — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:56:27 +0000

Over 250 attended the German Australian Oktoberfest at the Standard hotel

A happy crowd of more than 250 people came together on October 7th at the Standard hotel on Sunset Blvd, Hollywood to enjoy the very different and modern Oktoberfest with an Australian twist.

British/Australian artist Steve Cooke performed modern and rocky songs and the guests enjoyed the young atmosphere of the hotel with an LA twist while having some German Bratwurst or an Australian Pavalova desert.

The event received huge and positive reviews. Until next year perhaps?
