Almost as exciting as the Academy Awards are the exclusive parties before Oscar Night and one of the major parties for this year was the Montblanc Charity Cocktail hosted by the Weinstein Company and held at the newly opened Soho House in West Hollywood.

To celebrate Montblanc's continuing effort to support UNICEF's education and literacy programs, the Charity Cocktail was the stage for Montblanc's "Signature for Good" initiative to donate to UNICEF the 2 million dollars it raised during the year.

Helping to celebrate the occasion were hosts Bob and Harvey Weinstein and the Weinstein Company. The producers invited some of the biggest stars of fashion, music and entertainment to join in on the fun. Academy Awards Nominated stars from the Weinstein Brothers films "Nine", "Inglourious Basterds" and "A Single Man" were all mostly in attendance.

During the party, Montblanc unveiled a new fundraising initiative called the "Montblanc Wish Tree". Stars at the party were encouraged to write "wishes" on cards for children's education. The cards are then placed on the wish tree and it will tour the world. By the end of the year, the tree with celebrity cards will be auctioned to raise education funds for children in need.
