Michael attends the American Cinema Awards

Michael attends the American Cinema Awards with Sophia Loren and Sylvester Stallone.

The appearance lands during a transitional moment between Thriller and Bad, with Michael still highly visible at entertainment events while the new album and video campaign are being prepared.

The entry is useful as connective tissue between music, film and celebrity culture. It also provides another public marker before the intense run of Bad promotional activity begins later in the year.
