Watch The Oscars On The Big Screen At The Tivoli Theatre

Hollywood’s biggest night is this Sunday! Want to watch the big show projected on the big screen at one of the showcase theatres of St. Louis? For free (well, nearly free with a non-perishable food donation)? Yours truly will be there with trivia questions and prizes during the commercial breaks! Here’s the official press release:

JOIN FELLOW FILM BUFFS AT FREE OSCAR PARTY CO-HOSTED BY SLFCA AND LANDMARK THEATRES

Enjoy the Oscars telecast on the Tivoli’s big screen and win plenty of movie-related prizes when the St. Louis Film Critics Association co-host their third annual Oscar Night Party, along with Landmark Theatres.

The event begins at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 24, at the Tivoli Theatre in University City. The live ABC Oscars telecast will be shown in the 450-seat main auditorium beginning at 7 p.m. Seating is not reserved.

Although admission is free, SLFCA and Landmark Theatres encourage people to bring non-perishable food and canned good donations, as a collection for Operation Food Search. Concessions will be available for purchase.

Will “Argo” continue its awards season juggernaut? Are Daniel Day-Lewis and Jessica Chastain shoo-ins for the top acting honors? How funny will Seth McFarlane be as the host? Cheer on your favorite nominees with fellow movie buffs and win entertainment-themed items, such as T-shirts, posters, CDs, DVDs and more.

The St. Louis Film Critics Association, a professional association of working film critics in the St. Louis area, will award prizes for contests, including trivia questions before the show starts and during commercial breaks. Everyone will receive an Oscar ballot as well, with the top three who correctly guess the most winners receiving special prizes.

The mission of the St. Louis Film Critics association is to promote appreciation of great cinema in St. Louis and to promote St. Louis as an area that appreciates great cinema. The member film critics review films for a variety of media, including print, radio, television and Internet in the greater St. Louis Area. SLFC presents the year-end St. Louis Film Critics Awards to recognize the best in films shown in St. Louis that year. The association also presents awards at the St. Louis International Film Festival and St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase, both presented by Cinema St. Louis.

The Tivoli Theatre, restored to its original 1924 splendor in a 1995 renovation, is located at 6350 Delmar Blvd. (Delmar Loop). It is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places.
