An annual fundraiser on behalf of the cinema non-profit the American Cinematheque, The American Cinematheque Awards’ proceeds benefit its acclaimed film programs at the Los Feliz 3 Theatre in Los Angeles, the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, and the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. Additionally, a portion of the funds support American Cinematheque’s commitment to diversified programming and audience reach, through engaging with Los Angeles County’s 88 school districts to broaden the AC Educational Screening Series, a program designed to reinforce students’ educational experience, while cultivating the next generation of film lovers.
The American Cinematheque Awards is just one major Hollywood event among many that have been pushed or rescheduled in the year of double strikes, which has seen the Primetime Emmys move from September to January. Among others still without a date are the Daytime Emmys, which had initially been set for June 16, and the Daytime Emmys Lifestyle & Creative Arts Ceremony, which was supposed to take place the following day.
