Only about week till Oscar night: Have you settled on an outfit yet? Made your picks online?
Well, what the heck are you waiting for?
Indulge all your Oscar fantasies at DFW.com's second annual Oscar Watching Party on March 7 at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. You just might win a brand-new flat-screen TV in the process.
The party: Along with our buddies and co-hosts at the Modern and the Lone Star Film Society, DFW.com will roll out the red carpet at the Modern on March 7. You'll be able to eat, drink and enter to win fabulous prizes, including a 40-inch Sharp Aquos flat-screen TV, provided by the fine folks at Marvin Electronics.
Doors open at 6 p.m., and DFW.com will be on the red carpet, snapping photos of the arrivals and interviewing the famous and nonfamous alike. The Oscar telecast preshow kicks off at 7 p.m., and the ceremony begins at 7:30 p.m. We'll be giving away prizes all night and during each commercial break. Attendance is absolutely free, and no tickets are necessary, although if you want to reserve a spot in the auditorium, you can e-mail Tina Gorski at tgorski@themodern.org.
The costume contest: This year, we're also excited to be offering a special prize to the best Oscar-inspired costume of the year. So, pull on that platinum wig and some high heels and grab a football to Blind Side us. Or blow us away with your bomb-defusing suit. Heck, if you want to get drunk, gain 40 pounds and don a cowboy hat, you might just win over the celebrity judges' crazy hearts.
Become an Avatar: Also at the party, artist Ty Walls will turn you into an Avatar. (Check out our critic Christopher Kelly's blue punim above.) So get there early if you wanna be a hunky Avatar, too.
Make your Oscar picks online: Before the big night, you've got another chance to win big by entering our online Oscar picks contest. The prize for that? Another 40-inch Sharp Aquos from Marvin Electronics. Just go to dfw.com/oscars2010 to register and make your picks. Deadline to enter is 6 p.m. March 7, which is when you should be on your way to the Modern. See ya on the red carpet!
