The private Hollywood red carpet event takes place at the Oscar Gifting Suite at the Liberace Penthouse in Hollywood (7461 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA, 90036.)

"There are quite of few surprises in this year's nominees for the 81st Academy Awards," said Actress Sol Romero. "Like everyone else I have my favorites, and the Golden Globe winners gave us a sneak peak of the stiff competition, too. My congratulations to everyone nominated, because they're all winners in my book."

Romero also said she was happy to see that, despite an economic turmoil people still manage to go to the movies. "It also might have had a lot to do with the economic impact of the Writers Guild (WGA) strike, which occurred a little more than a year ago (Feb. 10, 2007)," she noted. "WGA strike crippled the movie and TV business when the market was already going through a consumer revolution Online. The Internet has changed the way everyone works."

According to Founding Economist Jack Kyser, Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAED) the WGA strike cost Los Angeles County around $2.5 billion dollars. Kyser and large group of Economists on housing, real Estate, Hollywood film/TV production and retail industries will be speaking at the 2009-2010 Economic Forecast & Industry Outlook breakfast event, at the LA Marriot, downtown, Feb. 18, 2009.
