SUNDAY FEBRUARY 27TH / THE 8RD ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS!
Tonight is not the night to watch movies, but the night to get outrageously irate when terrible performances/films/directors get awarded with the little gold statue. It's also the night to place bets with your friends for fun and profit. With newbie hosts James Franco (yes, THE James Franco) and Anne Hathaway, it could actually be a semi-interesting evening.
You could watch from home or join the festivities for free at 7pm at the Bloor and 8pm at the Revue. If you know of any other place screening the Oscars, please let us know in the comments.
