Nobody Does It Better

The 20th Annual Oscar Night Party:
"And the Winner Is..."

Hooray for Hollywood! It’s time to experience the wonder, anticipation, and excitement that is Oscar Night! Don’t sit home alone, get off the couch, and join fellow film fans at the Washington, DC Film Society’s “And The Winner Is…” annual viewing party to watch the 84th Academy Awards broadcast LIVE ON THE BIG SCREEN. The fun begins when doors open at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 26, 2012 at the Arlington Cinema ‘N’ Drafthouse (2903 Columbia Pike in Arlington, VA). The star-studded, fashion-filled, red carpet Pre-show starts at 7:00 p.m. and the Oscars ceremony gets underway at 8:00 p.m.

This FUN-raiser supports Filmfest DC, the Film Society's parent organization. Come see for yourself what keeps attendees coming back for 20 years. There’s everything you love about our party. Get a little nostalgia and enjoy a few special edition surprises. What’s old is new and what’s new is old. Billy Crystal returns as Oscar uber host, while Bill Henry and Tim Gordon, DC’s own veteran local film critics, face off to be our guides throughout the night. Who will win? The Artist or The Help or The Descendants? Gorgeous George or Gorgeous Jean? Will The Iron Lady Meryl hammer Viola or Michelle? You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers! Join the spirited debate and lessen your political anxiety by taking a night out to ponder the real questions.

Choose from our array of endless entertainment: games and activities like the “Predict the Winners” contest, random trivia contests, the silent auction (cash or check only please) where you can bid on many items, including gift certificates, movie promo items, and DVDs and movie posters signed by visiting filmmakers, and affordable food and drink (available for purchase).
