Hollywood Magic Meets Heart: Inside the 2026 eZWay Awards Golden Gala Oscar Viewing!

When the stars align in Hollywood, the brightest glow often comes from those giving back. This year, Orange County is set to host the most prestigious and star-studded viewing party of the season: the 2026 eZWay Awards Golden Gala Oscar Viewing.

Taking place on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at the luxurious Delta Marriott Hotel in Garden Grove, this isn't just a dinner—it’s a high-impact celebration of excellence, media, and philanthropy.

The Gold Carpet Experience: The evening kicks off with a massive 30-foot Gold Carpet (the eZWay signature!), where over 50 media outlets—including Getty Images and eZWay TV—will be capturing the arrivals of Hollywood’s elite. From legendary actors to digital icons, the energy at the entrance sets the stage for a night of pure glamour.

Star-Studded Hosts and Guests: This year’s gala features a powerhouse lineup:

Hosted by: Acclaimed actor and comedian Brian Hooks (3 Strikes, Soul Plane) alongside the multi-talented Nadia Dawn.

Honorees: The night will feature a Lifetime Achievement Award for legendary actress Kate Linder (The Young and the Restless).

Special Guests: Attendees include Sophia Stewart (Creator of The Matrix and Terminator franchises), Olympic Gold Medalist Henry Tillman, and industry titan Bill Duke.

Purpose Beyond the Party: What truly sets the eZWay Awards apart is its mission. The event is a cornerstone of the Gold for God Movement, merging Hollywood influence with faith-forward purpose.

A major highlight of the night is the support for Better Vision for Children, a charity dedicated to ensuring children receive the eye care they need to succeed. Guests aren't just watching the Academy Awards; they are contributing to a legacy of change.

A Night of Global Recognition: The 2026 gala is expanding its reach further than ever. In a unique collaboration:

The Universal Peace Federation (supported by the United Nations) will host a Peace Ambassador Appointment Ceremony.

Congressional Support: Congressman Lou Correa’s office is providing official certificates to award recipients, emphasizing the community impact of the eZWay network.

Televised Reach: The event will be broadcast across over 100 over-the-air TV stations, ensuring the "eZWay" of doing things reaches millions.

The Celebration of a Visionary: The night also serves as a double celebration, marking the birthday of Dr. Eric Zuley, the founder of the eZWay Network and the architect behind this massive ecosystem of "Celebrity, Tech, and Charity." Alongside co-producer Dr. Dante Sears, the duo continues to bridge the gap between business networking and red-carpet prestige.

Final Thoughts: The eZWay Awards Golden Gala is more than just a place to watch the Oscars—it’s where "The People’s Choice" meets professional excellence. Whether you are there for the black-tie dinner, the networking, or the chance to see your favorite stars, you leave knowing you’ve been part of something that matters.
