This Sunday night is the grand dame of the award shows and the Balboa Theater is hosting a live Oscars party where you can watch the evening unfold on the big screen. Cheer on your favorite films, jeer at the dresses and oogle the bling along with your Richmond District neighbors.
After a successful run at the Balboa’s Golden Globes event, Reed Kirk Rahlmann will return as the Master of Ceremonies for the night. He’ll help pass the time during commercials and thanks to the Balboa’s DVR, you won’t miss a minute of the ceremony. Reed has this to tell those who are thinking about attending:
“So bring your opinions and all those people who would be cluttering up your sofa and ruining your coffee table when forgetting to put a coaster under their drinks. And if you bring alcohol, bring enough to share with someone sitting next to you. Or me.”
And if you’re really into movies, come dressed as your favorite nominated film (bad puns and outrageous spoofs encouraged) or performer. They’ll have a costume contest, lots of surprises and plenty of prizes to give away including autographed posters of nominated films.
The party begins at 4:30pm and tickets are $10 (get advance tickets here).
Even if you can’t attend, you could still win a free 2010 VIP Pass for two to the Balboa by entering your picks for all the Oscar categories. Only one entry per person. No purchase is necessary and you do not have to be present to win. Ballots must be mailed with postmark no later than March 5, 2010 or dropped off at the Balboa no later than 4:30pm, March 7, 2010.
