The Golden Nugget, Las Vegas, will be the site of THE REEL AWARDS (21st Annual) on Monday, February 20, 2012.  This annual spectacle, produced by International Celebrity Images, brings together the best celebrity impersonators from around the world. It's a surreal gathering of talent including red carpet arrivals to a show featuring music, dance, comedy, and an awards show like no other.  This year's emcees are Joan Rivers clone, Dee Dee Hanson and Stephen Sorrentino, a musical comedian and master of improvisation with over 200 impressions.

Red Carpet Arrivals take place from 2:30-4:00 pm on Fremont Street, next to the Golden Nugget with Dee Dee Hanson as Joan interviewing impersonators and honored guests.

The Reel Awards™ has all of the elements of a big Hollywood awards show:  "celebrities," red carpet arrivals with screaming fans, throngs of curious tourists, with TV & news crews from around the world interviewing the real stars of The Reel Awards.

The Reel Awards Show begins at 4:30 pm in the Golden Nugget Showroom.  Entertainers slated to perform include ICE (Michael Jackson), Pavel Sfera (Bono), Mario Nowack (Robbie Williams), Jason Scott (Neil Diamond), Sherie Rae Parker (Bette Midler) plus, Dave Hoover (Tim McGraw) and Dean Hamilton-Bradley (Keith Urban) who perform in the Golden Nugget's show Country Superstars.  Eli Zumta (Alice Cooper), an Israeli rock singer who is being filmed for the docu-reality TV show "Living in LA LA Land," will make a special guest appearance.  In honor of Whitney Houston the show will feature a spotlight performance by award nominee Trina Johnson-Finn.

Red carpet arrivals provide a host of photo journalistic opportunities. Catch ghostly reincarnations of legendary music icons who have recently joined "Heaven's Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame" like Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and Amy Winehouse.  Focus your lens on glamour girls like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor or disappear into the "Matrix" with Trinity.  Get into the groove with Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, Cher, Donna Summers, or Lady Gaga. Share a photo with the sexy men of Hollywood past and present with Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Johnny Depp, Sean Connery or share "showbiz buzz" with icons such as Howard Stern, Reba, Martha Stewart, Simon Cowell or Dr. Phil.
