INDUSTRY BRIEFS<br />
er exhibitors, studio executives, new technology providers and vendors<br />
in a casual, open convention setting. Many of the top vendors in the<br />
industry will be in attendance, and the smaller convention size allows<br />
exhibitors plenty of time to hear the details and watch demonstrations<br />
of the many products and services at the trade show. A discount will be<br />
given to national NATO and NATO of Kansas & Missouri members<br />
who register for the full convention, and on the final night, the convention<br />
will host a themed, off-site charity fundraiser for Young Variety.<br />

BOOTH #909 AT SHOWEAST<br />
SETH MACFARLANE, the creator of Family Guy whose theatrical<br />
debut Ted made $434 million worldwide this summer, will host the<br />
85th Academy Awards. He’s a controversial pick, but less controversial<br />
than the uproar last year when original Oscar producer Brett Ratner<br />
was forced to step down after making an anti-gay slur, triggering<br />
announced host Eddie Murphy to follow suit. The awards were then<br />
hosted by Billy Crystal. Say this year’s producers Craig Zadan and Neil<br />
Meron, “We are thrilled to have Seth MacFarlane host the Oscars. His<br />
performing skills blend perfectly with our ideas for making the show<br />
entertaining and fresh. He will be the consummate host, and we are so<br />
happy to be working with him.”<br />
