She is adorable and everyone in the office likes her. I had not had a minute to spare last week. At this time of the year....thank God...we still organize an event a day. Some days we do two jobs. As mentioned, the Academy has made everything so complicated with idiot rules. They now lord over invitations, venues, menus, budgets and guest lists. Some idiot in L.A. who has never been to NYC decides with restaurants are too fancy. It is insane, petty and shades of Nazi rule. These morons think by forcing less lavish entertaining will encourage voters to vote for black films. I can not make this up. I am home all morning. or I can call you. I have theater 1:00-2:30pm. Then free all day. Do not think less of me. Every second I was organizing every aspect of our events begging/nurturing my staff and studio personal on how to get every detail right to effectively enlighten voters about the films in the Oscar race. It never gets easier to be a perfectionist. The Gotham Awards want to know if they can get the chairs for their Gotham Awards for independent filmmakers on Monday, Nov. 28th at Cipriani's downtown. You have an open invitation every year to attend. Every film star is there and totally accessablle. Every year you give them 10,000 to rent all the ballroom chairs. One year you gave them 50,000 for their scholarship programs. They only need the money for the chairs. Last year you said they could have the chairs, but your office never sent the 10,000. Would you consider paying for last year's chairs or last year and this year? I am only asking because this is a very respected organization that really makes a difference for independent film makers. I help them all year to organize their Awards Gala and it's very rewarding. I am afraid to go to the Thanksgiving Day Parade this year....expecting ISIS trucks filled with bombs .

Sunday, we are showing "LA LA LAND" in NYC... then we go back to a screening or lunch/press conference a day... Going to London and Paris with LA LA Land mid-December and then St. Moritz for Dec. 18- Jan. 1st. Skipping St. Bart's this year. xoxo Ppeggy From: Priscilla Whittle Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2016 9:01 PM To: Peggili mm Subject is the daughter of She works for you.

After the discussion, please join the filmmakers for a dinner at the home of Wendi Murdoch. From filmmaker Kevin Macdonald, Sky Ladder: The Art of Cai Guo-Qiang tracks the meteoric rise of world-renowened artist Cai Guo-Qiang and examines how and why he engineers his artwork on the largest imaginable scale. Wowing millions with his ambitious signature pieces, Cai's electrifying work often transcends physical permanence, while burning its philosophies into the audience's mind forever. With the documentary's ambitious namesake - a 1,650 foot ladder of fire climbing into the skies above his hometown - the film captures EFTA_R1_00037240 EFTA01744808 Cai's work, which unites Eastern philosophy with contemporary social issues. We hope you can join us on Saturday, November 19th for a heavenly evening. Invite attached. xoxo, Peggy <NOV 19 - SKY LADDER.pdf> EFTA_R1_00037241 EFTA01744809
