Experience The Oscars® in New York City
New York City has been featured in countless films, but this year will be the first time New York City will host an official live Oscar viewing gala. Oscar Night® and the City will be held on March 7, 2010 at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. Proceeds of the event will be donated directly to the NYC & Company Foundation.
Tickets include a pre-show reception with hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and music, followed by a live broadcast of the 82nd Academy Awards, with an open bar throughout the evening. Supporting Role Tickets for the event are $150, while Starring Role Tickets are $225 and include better seats, as well as access to a VIP lounge. Tickets are limited and Starring Role tickets are only available online, but Supporting Role tickets can be purchased at Alice Tully Hall Box Office (1941 Broadway, at West 65th Street), by calling Center Charge at 212-721-6500, or online through LincolnCenter.org or nycona.eventbrite.com.
A number of other Oscar-related events will be taking place in New York City — Oscar Week NYC features discounted tours, screenings of previous Academy Award winning movies based in New York City, and even the opportunity to have your photo taken holding an actual Oscar statuette!
If you can’t afford the tickets to the official gala, you might want to check out The Oscars @ City Winery. The $6 ticket charge includes a glass of wine (valued at $9), and the opportunity to participate in several contests and drawings, while watching the Academy Awards broadcast live.
