Oscar Night America
Party — Hosted Viewing Parties in 50 Cities
Oscar Night America brings the Red Carpet
and Live Oscar Broadcast directly to 50 cities nationwide. Many
of the Oscar Night Parties are black-tie affairs, others are
less formal. Rent a designer dress, jewelry and accessories. Some events
ask
partygoers to dress up as famous couples, others feature limo arrivals and walks
down the red carpet with
local celebrities and photographers ("paparazzi") and press
interviews
for
arriving guests — just like the real Hollywood event!
If you're interested in attending
an "Oscar Night America Party" in your city,
you can

-
Host a "Movie-Themed" Oscar Party - create special themed menus and
decorations inspired by Oscar-nominated movies (travel, 50's, 60's, sci-fi, romance)
- Make it a Formal "Black-Tie" event - chilled martinis, flowing champagne
& strawberries
- Host a Semi-formal "Black Tie, Blue Jeans, Red Carpet" - give guests the option
of dressing "up or down"

"Oscar
Bash & BYOB"
Better yet...keep your Oscar Party simple — make it a fun "Oscar
Bash & BYOB" and
dress "Casual
Chic." Whip up something easy
for a large group and have everyone bring
a bottle of wine... or whatever they like to drink.

Stay at home with Oscar this year!
Support the Monterey
County Film Commission by not going out...
If you love movies, you've likely been to a Monterey County Film Commission "Big Night Gala" — their annual celebration of film-making and the Academy Awards Fundraiser they've held for the past 21 years. This year, they are proposing a different idea: Stay at home with Oscar! Instead of all the expense of going out this year (new dresses, shoes, tuxes, limos, ticket prices), stay at home and watch the Academy Awards in the comfort of your home and consider making a contribution directly to their non-profit organization — your donation goes to a good cause that works to boost the local economy in communities through on-location film production.
Call 831-646-0910 for more information on the Academy Awards Fundraiser
