Now we need your vote to win!

Below are some of the reasons why the magazine deemed us worthy. Take a look through and at the end you will find a link to the voting site where you can cast your vote.

Thank you for your support!



Brownstone Street
During LA Screenings, an annual event in May, Warner Bros. Studio hosted more than 1,400 international television program buyers on the Studio’s backlot. Buyers watched television pilots in the state-of-the-art 516-seat Steven J. Ross Theater located on Brownstone Street. This location was originally constructed in the 1930's and features timeless upscale residential walk ups and daylight basements units. “ER,” “Funny Girl” and “Batman Returns” are just a few of the productions that have filmed here.

For the 2011 LA Screenings, Warner Bros. Special Events transformed Brownstone Street into a Diva Rock Glam outdoor lounge, complete with custom furniture in high-gloss black, white and metallic gold and silver. The look was fun, hip and conducive to business marketing.

 
Hennesey Street
For an international themed event with 11 environments, complete with authentic decor and cuisine, we used Hennesey Street. Dating back to 1938, this New York tenement row boasts four-story buildings, alleyways, large store front windows and fire escapes which were designed for the motion picture “Annie” in 1981. The street is also featured in “Friends,” three Batman films and “Road to Perdition,” to name a few.

Midwest Street
For the past three years, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Culinary Evening with the California Winemasters has been held on the Midwest Street backlot at Warner Bros. Studios. This year more than 1,400 guests attended the sold-out event where more than 45 celebrity chefs prepared culinary tastings paired with wines from 71 of California's most talented winemakers. Midwest Street, a charming backlot location known as "Any Town USA" due to its ability to be transformed into any town in America, is the largest outdoor set on the Warner Bros. lot boasting a church, City Hall and quaint small town stores. The set offers a theater-in-the-round experience with an inviting grassy park centered in the town square. The location has been the home to many Hollywood favorites including “The Music Man,” “Gilmore Girls” and “Dukes of Hazard.” It was featured in this year's “J. Edgar” and is the current set for the new hit CW show, “Hart of Dixie.”
