As you should know by now, The 85th annual Academy Awards are this Sunday, Feb 24, and if you are looking for a cool Oscar Party to attend, look no further than "The Oscar Experience" being held at the MJR Digital Cinema 20 in Southgate. Doors open at 7 p.m. ant the Oscar Telecast - broadcasted live on the big screen - begins at 8 p.m.
There will appetizers and dessert from 18 different restaurants as well as wine, champagne, Pepsi and popcorn.

In addition to the pre-show celebration of food and drink, there are also raffles to take part in. There is a Chinese raffle, two different 50/50 raffles as well as an Apple Raffle where you can win a flat-screen TV. All proceeds benefit the arts downriver.
I personally attended this event last year and it was great. As a lover of film and especially the Oscars, this was definitely the absolute best way to experience the year's biggest night in movies.
Tickets to the event are $25 in advance or $30 at the door and you can purchase them online at www.scponstage.com, by going to the "fundraisers" tab, or you can call 734-282-4727 to order over the phone.
