1. What are "The Reel Awards"?
THE REEL AWARDS™ celebrates its 17th year on Sunday, May 25, 2008, at the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas! Hollywood Goes Vegas™ for this annual spectacle that brings together the best celebrity impersonators from around the world for an enchanted evening featuring music, dance, comedy, and an awards show like no other!
2. History
THE REEL AWARDS™ was conceived in 1989 by Janna Joos, of International Celebrity Images, and Alana Joos, of Entertainment Express. Inspired by Nancy Casey, an Elizabeth Taylor look-alike, they came up with the idea of an Awards Show for celebrity impersonators and look-alikes as a way of acknowledging their professional performances in the entertainment industry, as well as encouraging up and coming new talent.
International Celebrity Images has been the host of The Reel Awards™ since the very first awards were given out in March of 1992. They have been instrumental in offering well-deserved recognition to the wonderful entertainment value of celebrity impersonators and look-alikes. The Reel Awards™ provides a parody of the numerous award shows in the entertainment industry. Instead of the "Oscar," the award recipients receive the "Can" which is a movie reel can inscribed with the category and winner's name.
3. When?
Hollywood Goes Vegas™ as stars like "Marilyn," "Jack Nicholson," "Britney Spears," "Madonna" and other famous celebs strut down the red carpet for The Reel Awards™ on Sunday, May 25, 2008 at the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino.
