​FAQs:
What should I wear? There's a red carpet with photography and on-camera interviews, and most guests dress for it. Think Hollywood creative — stylish, expressive, photo-ready. Cocktail attire works; so does a sharp jacket or a standout piece. Wear what you'd want to be tagged in.

The venue: an intimate black-box theater inside the Los Angeles Performing Arts Conservatory (LAPAC), two blocks from the Dolby Theater, the Chinese Theater, and the Walk of Fame. 1534 Highland Ave.
