- from a Blog to Watch
On this, the 87th Anniversary of the first presenation on the Academy Awards (we have Academy Awards librarian Margaret Herrick to thank for the name 'Oscar" which she coined in 1931), we look at the role of watchmaker Hamilton in the movies, which it celebrates with its own awards show - the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards
there may not be a definitive list of all the movies and shows Hamilton has been involved with, but there is a rather extensive list of many of them on the watch brand's website. Most of those are from the last 20 years, but it is a good list to look at because it indicates the movie, the actor, and the watch. For more images and info there are fan sites out there with more details - though nothing super comprehensive.
The Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards drew quite a list of guests and presenters. Hamilton works with a series of consultants and industry insiders to choose the categories, the nominees, and award recipients. The event was fun, and what I really liked was the intimate nature of it. It was more dinner party style rather than formal event. Plus, since it wasn't televised, the award presenters and recipients were more free to speak frankly, apply humor, and just generally have a good time. Guests I was happy to see there included JJ Abrams, Michael Bay, Jon Favreau, John Hamm, Antonio Banderas, Christoph Waltz (super cool guy), and of course Harrison Ford (who has a long standing relationship with Hamilton and was there wearing his own Khaki watch).
