(CNN) Atlanta has come to be known as "Black Hollywood" because of Tyler Perry and this past weekend he really made it happen. The media mogul opened a 330-acre filming complex in the Fort McPherson area that drew just about every major African-American star. A gala event Saturday included celebs such as Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, her husband Jay-Z, Cicely Tyson, Sidney Poitier, director Ava DuVernay, and so many others. Naturally there were plenty of Instagrams to mark the huge celebration for the $250 million studio. "I am so grateful to have witnessed Black Excellence, History, and Greatness!"
