A fresh, new format mirrored the Academy Awards, where the top three nominees were acknowledged and the one winner of the category was announced. Elegance and entertainment were contributed by co-hosts David Santiago and Sara Lynn Brennan. David Santiago is the owner and interior designer of Casa Santi Interior Design in New Jersey. Sara Lynn Brennan is the owner of Sara Lynn Brennan Interiors in Waxhaw, North Carolina.
