The event will honor award nominees and is intended to draw attention to one of the “most important industries in the city and its biggest night,” the mayor’s spokeswoman Sarah Hamilton said.
Los Angeles officials have been trying to stem runaway production, which has sent TV and movie work to Canada and overseas.
The production of feature films in Los Angeles last year was about half what it was at its peak in 1996.
