Attend this film party: The Brattle's Pre-Oscar Bash

Some experiences need to be shared to be endured. The Academy Awards is one of them. Every year the Brattle Theatre complies by throwing a pre-program bash. Okay, it's $75, but it goes to a good cause, the Brattle Foundation, and it gives you a chance to put a buzz on before Oscar-show host Seth MacFarlane starts reprising his Family Guy voices and so that even if Les Misérables wins Best Picture, you'll be having such a good time you won't care. Then, on to the broadcast of the Oscar show on the Brattle big screen - free to members only, but what better occasion to finally sign up?

The Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge :: Sunday, February 22: Pre-party at 5:30 pm; Awards show screening at 8 pm :: 617.876.6837 or brattlefilm.org/support-2/oscar-party-2013
