If you wanted to rub shoulders and shoot selfies with Oscar nominees, you should have spent your Friday evening, Feb. 20, 2015, at Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails in Los Angeles. It’s where Women in Film, M·A·C Cosmetics, Perrier-Jouët, MaxMara, BMW, and Tiffany & Co., celebrated the eighth annual Women in Film Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party. The evening was co-hosted by Academy Award-winning producer and Women in Film, LA president, Cathy Schulman, and Academy Award-winning actress and recording artist, Jennifer Hudson.
