September 14, 2009

Jill Cataldo of PaulStanley.com reports: During an exhibition of his artwork on Saturday (September 12),KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley was honored with a surprise award ceremony at Wentworth Gallery in Schaumburg, Illinois.

Paul's concert film, "One Live Kiss", was selected as a Telly Award winner earlier this summer, and during Paul's art VIP reception, director and producer Louis Antonelli personally presented Paul with his Telly Award statuette and certificate.

"Several years ago, Paul and I embarked on making a motion picture together, and that picture has been considered a classic. We have been honored by being selected to win a 2009 Classic Gold Telly Award," said Antonelli. He added, "This is Paul's first time seeing [the awards,] and I think he's just an amazing artist and an amazing man. The opportunity to make this film with him and present him with these awards means the world to me, and to share it with him, of course, is an honor."

"That's a great surprise!" Stanley said, admiring the dual statuettes, adding, "Awesome... we did it!"

Producers Paul Stanley and Louis Antonelli both received the Classic Gold Telly Awards, which are presented to film and video productions that are considered to be the finest in the 30-year history of the Telly Awards.

Founded in 1978, the Telly is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional and cable TV programs, as well as the finest video and film productions. The 30th annual Telly Awards received over 14,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents.
