Oscar Night America
Party
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. 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.
