Tampa Theatre is proud to present Tampa’s longest-running Oscars® watch party on Sunday, March 10. Bay-area film fans are invited to come toast the nominees and celebrate the winners together at Tampa Theatre’s 25th annual Hollywood Awards Night, presented by Amalie Oil Co. The fun begins at 5:30 p.m.
The red-carpet reception takes on a whole new hue this year under the historic Franklin Street marquee. Jill Witecki with Tampa Theatre said, “After a limo ride around the block courtesy of longtime event sponsor Skyline Limousine, our superstar guests will walk the carpet past adoring fans and paparazzi and chat about who they’re wearing with costumed characters representing some of this year’s biggest movie stars … and Ken.”
Inside the historic theater, there will be games, prizes, free popcorn and soda, and you can see the preshow on the big screen, as well as a cash bar. Live coverage of the 96th annual Academy Awards® begins at 7 p.m.
