Where Academy Members Love to Watch The Oscars over Dinner then Join The Nominees After Party…
By E.M. Fredric
Hollywood, CA (The Hollywood Times) – 02/18/2019 – The 4th Annual Roger Neal’s Oscar Viewing Dinner, Icon Awards & After Party have found a new home at the restored Hollywood Palladium on Oscar Sunday February 24th. Roger and Lynn Neal, Founder and Chairman of the annual Oscar night event are excited along with their partners Maryanne and Thomas Lai to move into the historic Palladium – which is operated by LIVE NATION.
It’s the first time in over 50 years that an Oscar party has been held there. Neal’s added an After Party that will have Oscar winners and presenters stop by to celebrate their win this Oscar night. For the last three years Roger’s event became so successful at the Hollywood Museum – that it grew beyond the museum’s capacity. The Hollywood Palladium was named a historic-cultural monument in 2016 with unamimous vote by the Los Angeles City Council.
“We are most excited for booking the Palladium and its beautiful restoration. We can seat up to 800 for dinner if needed” said Roger Neal.
ABC7’s TV On The Red Carpet Official Oscar Party Coverage with George Pennacchioand TalkRadio 790 | KABC-AM Sunday Night Live with Susan Olsen & Frank Sheftel will be broadcasting live from the Hollywood Palladium. “We are expecting over 100 stars and a huge media red carpet to accommodate them including Joe Cortese, one of the stars of Golden Globe Best Picture, The Green Book,” said Edward Lozzi, event media and red-carpet coordinator.
The Oscar Viewing Dinner will be a sit-down, black-tie white-glove service experience for the stars, their guests, sponsors and ticket buyers. Souley Vegan owner and Celebrity Gourmet chef Tamearra will be creating the Dinner for Oscar Party guests. Emerald Hare Winery will be among the wineries supplying exceptional wines for dinner and afterwards.
Entertainment will include live on stage: 22-year old R&B Pop sensation/Foundation Records recording artist Roger Neal and his dancers, followed by Richard Halperin’s Hollywood Cavalcade Show with a live band (from LA’s Cicada Club), and special guests performing high-brow music from the 20’s and 30’s. A special appearance by Howard Hewett of Shalamar will rock the Palladium performing at the After-Party and a celebrity DJ will also heat up the dance floor!
The Roger Neal Oscar Viewing Dinner will once again honor stars with the Icon Award during the Oscar pre-show. This year’s honorees include: For TV, award winning actress Loretta Swit star of (Mash) presented to her by Jamie Farr (Mash), Robert Forster (Oscar Nominee), Margaret Avery (Oscar Nominee for The Color Purple) presented to her by William Pugh, (The Color Purple), Lainie Kazan (Oscar nominee for My Favorite Year) presented to her by Joe Cortese (The Green Book) for Motion pictures.

Woman in Philanthropy Icon award goes to actress/philanthropist/ two time Daytime Emmy Award Winner Kira Reed Lorsch (The Bay) for Television, presented by Lynn Neal.
This Year’s 2019 Oscar Nominees will be attending The Roger Neal Oscar After Party including cast & crew from Best Pictures including: Peter Farrelly (Oscar nominated Writer & Director of Green Book), Tony McNamara (Oscar nominated Best Original Screenplay for The Favourite), Erick Beckman & David Jesteadt (Distributors of Oscar nominated film Mirai), Mamoru Hosoda (Writer & Director of Oscar nominated film Mirai), Yuichiro Saito, (Producer of Oscar nominated film Mirai), Joe Cortese (Green Book), Patrick Don Vito (Oscar nominated Best Film Editing for Green Book), Ethan Van der Ryn & Eric Aadahl (Oscar nominees for Best Sound Editing A Quiet Place), Kirk Bovill (Henry Kissinger of Oscar nominated movie Vice), Emma Eliza Regan (Oscar nominated Detainment), Steve Kingston (Production Designer of Oscar nominated Detainment), Darren Mahon & Vincent Lambe (Oscar nominated director and filmmaker of Oscar nominated Detainment) Bryce Nielson (Special Effects for Roma), Ms. Tan Kheng Hua (Crazy Rich Asians).
