EUR on the Scene at The Uptown Honors Hollywood Event – WATCH

*One of the hottest nights in black Hollywood kicked off Wednesday February 20th evening. The Uptown Honors Hollywood not only honored two of Hollywood’s most iconic filmmakers but a slew of elite visionaries came out to support and celebrate the night as well.

EURweb was one of the first on the scene to get exclusive red carpet interviews with creators like singer/songwriter Kenny Lattimore, actress Malinda Williams, the honorees Tim Story and George Tillman Jr.

After the red carpet wrapped up we all shuffled our way into a beautiful back venue with fine dining type setup tables, a golden card showing the menu for the night, service that was top of the line and all white roses center pieces.

As everyone settled into their seats the event got started with hosts of the night, Tai Beauchamp and Chris Spencer cracking a few jokes to announcing the first honoree of the night, George Tillman Jr.

Tillman is best known for directing Soul Food and Men Of Honor. He also produced the four Barbershop film series, Beauty shop and Notorious biopic. We can’t forget his directing and producing of the 2018 crime drama The Hate You Give. The Wisconsin native admitted to not being use to being in the fore front, thanked everyone and gave a pretty short speech.

Up next was honoree Director Tim Story, whose known for hits such as Shaft, Mudbound, Think Like A Man, Fantastic Four and many more. His heartfelt speech thanking his wife and God was the tip of the iceberg to conclude the exclusive invite only event.

The Pre-Oscar Gala was definitely an event that brought together some of the entertainment industry’s most gifted creators to celebrate the hard work put in year after year. Something that is always appreciated.
