American Indian LA Film and TV Awards
What:
Press Conference
When:
Friday, March 5, 2004.
Where:
Holiday Inn - Ballroom
Burbank, California
Why:
Announcement of Award Winners
Timeline:
2:00pm - Reception
3:00pm - Press Conference
The first annual "American Indian LA Film and TV Awards" is to honor those actors and actresses who've found work in Independent Films and on Network Television. 2003 has been a great year for Indigenous performers and we want to acknowledge them where they otherwise would not be in mainstream Hollywood.
Diversity has been a huge issue for Native performers in the Entertainment Industry. We would like to celebrate the support from the Major Film Studios, Cable and Network Television through their diversity initiatives.
Independent Films will receive our most critical support. Many of these nominated films are not seen on Indian Reservations across the United States. The American Indian audience enjoys Film just like anybody else and they deserve to see these little known Independent films.
These nominations were chosen more on a mainstream level similar to the Golden Globe Awards (Foreign Press Association). Actress Sheila Tousey has the most individual nominations (5). The ABC Mini-Series "Dreamkeeper" has the most nominations for TV (11). "On The Corner" and "Whale Rider" tie in nominations for a Motion Picture (4). "The Missing" follows close behind with (3). A special honorary award will go to Crystal Lightning who portrayed Iraq War Hero Lori Piestewa in the NBC movie "Saving Jessica Lynch." Crystal is also nominated in the supporting actress category for TV.
