Gold House Celebrates Multicultural Nominees At Inaugural Oscars Toast

Nominees Luncheon for the 96th Oscars in Beverly Hills

A star-studded event took place at Harriet's Rooftop in West Hollywood as Gold House hosted its inaugural Oscars One House Toast to honor the multicultural nominees and achievements in filmmaking. The celebration brought together industry leaders, including director Cord Jefferson, composer Laura Karpman, and director John Hoffman, among others.

Gold House, in collaboration with organizations such as GLAAD, NAACP Hollywood Bureau, and IllumiNative, aimed to recognize the diverse talents shaping the cinematic landscape. Co-founder and CEO Bing Chen emphasized the importance of infusing artistry with purpose, highlighting the global majority's collective impact in shaping narratives.

The event saw the presence of notable figures like the cast of 'Shortcomings' and 'Expats,' as well as producer Bird Runningwater from 'Fancy Dance.' With over 200 guests in attendance, the One House Toast underscored Gold House's commitment to reshaping Asian Pacific and multicultural representation both on and off the screen.

Gold House's efforts extend beyond celebratory events, as the organization has played a pivotal role in supporting groundbreaking films like 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' and 2024 Academy Award nominees such as 'Past Lives,' 'Elemental,' and 'Nimona.' Through research, cultural consultation, investments, and marketing initiatives, Gold House continues to redefine excellence and amplify diverse voices in the entertainment industry.

The success of the celebration was made possible by the generous support of partners like the Walter and Shirley Wang Foundation, Genesis Motor America, and William Morris Endeavor. Attendees enjoyed signature cocktails from Johnnie Walker Blended Scotch Whisky and exclusive VIP lounges, further enhancing the evening's festive atmosphere.
