Cities Around the United States — Find an Oscar Party in Your City
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
purchase tickets by contacting the party host in your area.

Movie Star Costumes

Your House — "Oscar Parties"
"Favorite Movie Star" — "Movie-Themes"— "Oscar Black Tie, Blue Jeans, Red Carpet"

Invite your friends over for an Oscar Party at your house
. Be creative and make it fun:
- Ask guests to dress as their "Favorite Movie Star or Movie Character"
-
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.

"Oscar Pot Luck"
If you're on a budget, host a casual "Oscar Pot Luck Party" — make a big batch of Popcorn and have everyone bring a dish (appetizer, salad, entree, or dessert).

Stay tuned for Updates on Academy Awards Fundraiser 2013
Monterey County Film Commission

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. In 2012, they proposed a different idea: Stay at home with Oscar! Instead of all the expense of going out (new dresses, shoes, tuxes, limos, ticket prices), it was suggested that you 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 went to a good cause that worked to boost the local economy in communities through on-location film production.
