The event was a huge event sponsored by some of the largest companies in post-production. Including the likes of the DGC, Avid, Dynamix, Deluxe, SIM Video, Tattersall well as many others. The CCE Awards was held at the Capitol Theater a historic building with a classy ambiance. Editors came out of the darkness of their edit suites and on to the glitz and glamour of the red carpet. It was strange running into familiar faces all dolled up. That really could have been the theme of the night.
