Naperville, IL - On October 18, 2010, The Southern California Motion Picture Council (SCMPC) hosted their annual Golden Halo Awards. Among this year's recipients was long time friend of Hollywood Cinemas Illustrator Rick Ewigleben, who was honored with the Golden Halo Award for Artistry. Legendary Child star Margaret O'Brien presented the plaque to Munchkin Lollipop Kid Jerry Maren and his wife, Elizabeth, who accepted it in Ewigleben's absence. The artist was nominated by both the Marens and Miss O'Brien for his series of illustrations that pay tribute to the 1939 classic film, "The Wizard of Oz".
The Golden Halos are presented at a gala dinner held in the Waterfall Ballroom at the world famous Sportsman's Lodge, in Studio City, CA.
