Even though the Cinema Capitol may be closed pending repairs, the spirit of the Cinema will be very much alive as we press on with some of our best annual events that celebrate the cinema: our annual awards activities! It all started on a whim (X years ago, if we know) when we decided to open the Cinema doors on a freezing cold Tuesday morning to see if anyone would show up – and they did, so we just kept on doing it! This year’s edition of Wake Up with the Stars: An Oscar Nomination Party is scheduled for Friday (not Tuesday!) January 17. New day of the week – same event! Time is to be announced, but it will be an early morning event. The Capitol Theatre will be OPEN and alive for you to debate all of your nomination predictions, compare them with the official Capitol predictions, and watch the nominations come in LIVE on the big screen, with the ability to submit your own prediction ballot for a chance to win prizes. Not a morning person? Don’t worry, our friends at Superofficial will be supplying coffee. So make sure to get out of bed and join us as we wake up with the stars and celebrate the cinema. And of course, stay tuned for announcements about our forthcoming Oscar party on Sunday, March 2.
