Reporting from the desk of Guthrie Bonnett: This years Chicago Oscars THE Documentary Awards 2017 coming from the Penthouse III in Chicago we bring you the Young and the Talented!

I would like to thank the team of Chicago Oscars THE Documentary Awards 2017 for making our 7th annual event a huge success!
The event was held at the Penthouse III with approximately 170 guests enjoying the epic evening. They celebrated with an overflow of delicious appetizers, desserts and cocktails while being interviewed and photo shoots throughout the Penthouse floor.
Harold Dennis and Gloria Dattulo Hafer Gloria The Hat were the M.C.’s of the evening and shared center stage with an easy going manner to relax frazzled nerves of the nominees!
Merle Taylor, our Fashion Director, bought the entire team of designers and their entourages together with ease to deliver an outstanding red carpet show. Merle is also a fashion designer so she knows the way!
The twenty-six nominees for an award were scored virtually by judges from all over the world and the winners received Oscar related statues. They are:
Stephen James Tuplin Turplin-OVERALL WINNER
Persifre Orlando-Model of the Year
Zahira Al - Best Print Model
Nena Mondonedo Perez- International Cosmetic Producer

Our special guests for the evening were Hussain Ahmed, No Borders Productions, who presented us with a trailer covering his coming attractions, Karen Pride, is the facilitator of the Chicago Independent Artists Network (CIAN). The CIAN is a free, networking group dedicated to keep creative people in Chicago, WORKING in Chicago and Bill E Mixon, author, who gave a reading from “Paris”. "The buildings along the Seine, Sophie thought, reminded her of the old silent movies, where the sound was produced by a piano player and dialog was written in white flowery script across a black background." They were each awarded an Oscar related Statue and spoke briefly about their careers in the Arts and Entertainment field.
Our special guests were introduced by Marcus B. Wolfe Sr. Founder and Executive Director of the Chicago Socially Conscience Film Symposium, and Jigar Shah, Director of Chicago South Asian Film Festival.
We were thrilled to have Blake Alexander entertain us with his fabulous choreographed song and dance and also Princess Ramona who gave a rendition of Shirley Temples “Animal Crackers in my Soup” finishing with a bow worthy of Princess Grace Kelly!
We cannot thank our Little Hollywood Gala’s, LaTonia Edwards enough for the incredible efforts and passion she poured into organizing our new division. And we so appreciate all of the parents who supported their children to take that red carpet walk for the first time!
