Monday | March 11 10:30– 11:45 a.m. CST From Risk to Opportunity: Leading Through Crisis NASBA Field of Study: Personal Development Knowledge Level: Advanced Fireside Chat With Cheryl Boone Isaacs Film Marketing Executive, CBI Enterprises, Inc. Former President, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Moderator: Nancy Haig, CIA, CCSA, CFSA, CRMA Director, Internal Audit and Compliance Alvarez & Marsal In this ever-evolving and fast-paced business environment, every organization can expect disruption from risk. While businesses hope not to face situations precipitating significant disruption and media coverage, they must be prepared to manage unknown risks in the form of crises on a daily basis. Cheryl Boone Isaacs, film marketing executive and immediate past president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, will discuss how she led the Oscars through crises that provoked major media attention. In this session, participants will: • Discuss potential impacts a crisis can have on an organization. • Examine tactics to address crises to minimize disruption and damage. • Explore business recovery strategies after managing through a crisis. Cheryl Boone Isaacs has been a respected motion picture marketing executive for over 30 years and is the immediate past president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Her business, CBI Enterprises, has consulted for MTV Films, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, Lionsgate, and Sony Entertainment, among others. At New Line Cinema, Boone Isaacs and her marketing team helped position the studio as one of just two that had four films open No. 1 at the box-office in 1998, including Rush Hour, whose $33 million opening was, at the time, the largest in company history. Previously, she orchestrated Paramount Pictures’ acclaimed publicity campaigns for Forrest Gump and Braveheart, each of which won multiple Academy Awards. Boone Isaacs is currently an adjunct professor at Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, and she guest lectures at several other schools. Nancy Haig is head of internal audit and compliance for a global consulting firm and previously served as vice president of internal audit for a global pharmaceutical manufacturer. Her expertise includes risk-based internal audit and compliance in the financial services, health care, pharmaceutical, and professional services industries. An advocate of the internal audit profession, Haig not only mentors those interested in pursuing a career in internal auditing, but also serves as a volunteer leader for The IIA on the global and North American boards as well as on the audit committee and editorial board.

If your team doesn’t currently fit this mold, team transformation is essential. Teams characterized by positive energy, honest communication, clear expectations, authentic leadership, opportunities for growth and development, challenging projects, and collaboration will attract and retain tomorrow’s leaders while the others struggle to keep up. In this session, participants will: • Receive tips for creating and fostering a high-functioning team environment, developing a talent pipeline, and inspiring and motivating their team. • Understand the keys to building and sustaining an effective audit team. • Learn how to structure their audit team for future success without massive hiring and firing.

  • 2013 Annual Report Days of Supporting the Past, Present, and Future of Motion Pictures
    2013 ANNUAL REPORT DAYS OF SUPPORTING THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF MOTION PICTURES 2 Dear Academy Member, With the Oscars nearly here, it’s an opportune moment to reflect on the Academy’s accomplishments over the past year and the work we are doing year-round. The last twelve months have seen increased industry outreach by the Academy, new initiatives from our Science and Technology Council, and a robust calendar of exhibitions and programs – all in the service of advancing our core mission of celebrating excellence in the motion picture arts and sciences. Our grants have funded a wide range of film festivals and promising filmmakers. We’ve raised our international profile with visits to emerging film centers in China, the United Arab Emirates, Korea, India and Brazil. And we’ve recently stepped up activity in our London office; you’ll be seeing the effects of that very soon. I’m particularly excited about our rapid progress on the Academy Museum. We’ve made great headway toward our fundraising goals; world-renowned architects Renzo Piano and Zoltan Pali have completed the initial planning to renovate the historic May Company Building at LACMA; and we are now well on our way toward the opening of the museum in 2017. As we expand the scope of our presence around the world, it’s more important than ever that the Academy speaks with one voice. So we have implemented a communications strategy that includes a new look and logo to convey the importance of our year-round Academy programs. It is designed to help us tell our story in a consistent and easily recognizable way.

  • Somewhere Over the Rainbow: Finding the Cure for Oscars-So-White Color- Blindness
    Somewhere Over the Rainbow: Finding the Cure for Oscars-So-White Color- Blindness The Oscars® are synonymous with the aspirational best in the film industry, however, racial dominance and the consistent underrepresentation of ethnic and minority groups continues to prevail. The lack of diverse representation in Hollywood is not only a massive barrier to the projection of a better tomorrow for a generation of Americans, it is a lost opportunity for the U.S. to take a lead as a model global force for equality. A recent report produced by the Media, Diversity and Social Change Initiative at USC Annenberg confirms that only 1.3% of leading roles in Hollywood productions have Asian actors and over 50% of productions fail to include any Asian characters. The author, Dr. Stacy Smith states, “This is no mere diversity problem… this is an inclusion crisis.” If Hollywood were desegregated, the representation of a diverse society could be a powerful force to rapidly break down stereotypes and properly represent the true mosaic of U.S. society. The implications of such equal portrayal would cut across all aspects of society from pay equity for hourly work to representation across professional vocations. 1.

Jaya Parveen, M.A., M.Phil., PGCTE, NET & SET, (Ph.D.) Assistant Professor (English) Chevalier T. Thomas Elizabeth (C.T.T.E.) College for Women Chennai 11 [email protected] ======================================================================= Introduction Booker Prize and Oscar Award are the most prestigious awards in the world of creative arts. Every award season, the whole world awaits the long-lists and shortlists for Booker Prize and Oscar Award, and the winners earn worldwide recognition, fame, and fortune. Though popular among the public, lots of controversies surround the prize committee, selection criteria, award nominees, and winners of both the awards. This paper attempts to study the history or evolution of both the awards along with the conflicts that make them the most controversial in the contemporary era. Booker / Man Booker Prize Booker Prize was first awarded as Booker-McConnell Prize. In 1968, Booker McConnell Ltd., a firm ‘dealing in sugar, rum, mining machinery, and James Bond’ announced a £5000 prize for fiction to be awarded to a British or Commonwealth author. The inaugural winner, in April 1969, was PH Newby, a BBC controller, for his work Something to Answer for (Stoddard 2014). Booker Prize Foundation is an independent registered charity funded by the entire profits of Booker Prize Trading Ltd., of which it is the sole shareholder. This foundation took over the administration of the prize in 2002, and the investment company Man Group became the title sponsor.
