If you're missing the annual Academy Awards Party put on by the George Eastman House (it was cancelled for 2013 due to renovations taking place in the Dryden Theatre), head over to the Little Theatre (240 East Ave.) on Sunday, February 24, to watch the awards ceremony and celebrate with other cinephiles in our community.
Two of the films nominated for Best Picture, including "Amour" (pictured) and "Silver Linings Playbook," are currently screening at the Little Theatre, so check them out if you haven't already. Then you'll catch all of the reference jokes made by host Seth MacFarlane during the Sunday night awards ceremony telecast, which will be projected on to one of the Little's big screens.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with entertainment beginning at 7:30 p.m. and the screening at 8 p.m. The night will be hosted by Nuts and Bolts Comedy Improv. Tickets are $40 or $35 for Little members, and include treats and a champagne toast at the end of the evening. For more information, call 258-0400 or visit thelittle.org.
